”Craten, what was that story you told me about?” asked Mom. “The missile-toe one?” asked Craten, “What?” asked Mom. “Huh, I’ll tell you, it was Christmas, blah... blah... blah…” “Well get on with it!” yelled Mom.
”Hey I’m thinking! “snapped Craten, “Oh I remember now!
Craten did you put the missile-toe up?” Asked Mom, “Um…yeah.” said Craten. “Ok I’ll go see!” said Mom. “Wait until the old hippie goes in and gets hit by my missile with a toe!” thought Craten, “OHHH MAMA!!!” YELL…
IS CAPS LOCK STILL ON? OOPS That’s better!
yelled Mom, “MWAAAAHAHAHA!!!” CHUCKELED…
GRRR! There! Now caps lock is off!
Chuckled Craten. the…… Were did e go? Oh there it is!
The end! “How did you like the story?” asked Craten, “I’ll give it a 0! I hated it! (0=so bad I cant even read it 1=hated it 2=ok 3=good 4=loved it) Your grounded!” screamed Mom.” Why?” asked Craten, “For telling such a terrible story!” said Mom. BOOM! “OOOOWW!!!” yelled Mom
She yelled because she got hit by a big crowd .
“Did you just break our door in?” asked Mom. “YES I DID BREAK YOUR DOOR IN!!! CONGRAGULATIONS!!! YOU’VE JUST WON $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00!!!” Yelled a guy from the crowd, “Um, why?” asked Craten, “For telling such a terrible story!” said the guy, “SWWWWWEEET!” yelled Craten, “But what about me?” asked mom painfully getting up. “You don’t get ANYTHING.” said the guy. “GRRRR!” said mom.
When the guy said you don’t get ANYTHING, Craten was very happy
(40 years later in a great big salad bowl which was the home of Craten The Croton, the awful story teller. )
“WOOOO-HOOOOOO! said Craten. “I’ve never had 20 butlers and 50 house keepers!” Delivery for Craten The Croton
His last name has a lot of silent letters in it so its d. (dee)
Yelled the butler Linda. (Linda is a boy) “Is it the 1000 foot TV?”
asked Craten. “Yes.” said Linda. “Put in the living room.” said Craten. “There is no living room!” said Linda. “Make one!” said snappy pants Craten. “But...said Linda. “No buts!” said Craten. “GRRR!!! thought Linda. I’ll show him!” And he did. (See next edition… PLEASE!!!)(P.S… I don’t think I’ll make another edition if you are a fan of Craten the cru ton) Then the door of the deluxe salad opened and a spoon entered and picked poor Craten up, “LINDA, HELP, AAAAAAHHHHHH!” “Sorry, making a living room here!” said Linda. “I’LL PAY YOU EXTRA!” screamed Craten. “I’m coming boss! screamed Linda. *GULP!* “a… a water slide… wait… this isn’t a water slide… it… it’s a throat!” screamed Craten and Linda at the same time. “NOOOOOOOOOO!!! ITS BARF!” screamed Craten. “But… isn’t that good?” asked Linda. “Oh yeah… YAY!” said Craten. “And they lived happily NEVER after, why? Because Craten spent all of his money and got a job at Sandy’s pancakes the best that you will ever find scrubbing toilets in the smelly gross and creepy girl’s bathroom.” (Its so gross the girls have to walk 10 miles to Al’s pizza the best pizza that you will ever find) and back just to go to the bathroom)

Parent Letter
February 27, 2009
Dear Parents,
How have you been doing this week? We have been having a great time. First we have been studying hard about our insects. We are trying to finish our posters by Tuesday of next week. Many of us are started and our posters will have lots of interesting information on them.
Math has been awesome this week. We have been practicing how to subtract 6 and 5. We also took a test this week and everyone did very well. In fact almost the entire class passed their fact test.
Another thing we did this week is we had a town hall meeting. At the town hall meeting we sang our continent song for the entire elementary. We sounded like rock stars! Everyone loved us and asked for our autographs.
As you can see we have had a busy week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Winter Fun
It was a winter wonderland at Badger Mountain in the lodge. There were two girls riding in the snow cat. The girl’s names were Taylor and Haley. Taylor and Haley were looking forward to a great day of skiing. After a short ride, Haley and Taylor got out of the snow cat together and went to the lodge.
Then the girls went over to go get some candy and Haley got M&Ms and Taylor got Snickers. Then they ate their candy.
“Haley do you want to go skiing with me?” asked Taylor. “Sure let me get ready.” replied Haley. “I will wait for you.” said Taylor. “Ok.” said Haley. "Ok lets go" shouted Taylor.
“Yeah come on” said Haley. Then Taylor and Haley walked outside to get their skis in a snow pile. They picked up their skis, placed them on the ground, and stepped into them. They got on the T-bar and headed towards the A-hill.
A couple of minutes later they got to the A-hill.
They started down the hill. Haley was going down the slope. Taylor was at the top of the hill and started going extremely fast, she was going so fast that she couldn’t stop. She was a little bit behind Haley. Uh, oh! Taylor could not control herself. CRASH!!!
Taylor crashed into Haley. Haley flew into the air, her skies fell from her feet, and then she crashed on her head. Then Taylor skied all the way down the A-hill to go get a grown-up. The grown-up said” What’s the matter? Taylor said “I accidentally ran Haley, over with my skis.” Then Taylor and the grown-up raced to Haley. The grown-up put Haley in a sled and pulled her down to the lodge. They checked on Haley and then took Haley to the Doctor. The Doctor took an x-ray and found out that she was ok. So the girls went back to the lodge and went skiing again. At the end of the day Haley and Taylor felt happy.

The Last Day of Summer
It was a very sunny day in the year 2009 in the small town Rosebush. Ten year old Rose was sitting in her house with her eleven year old brother Peter. They were both very sad.
After breakfast Rose and Peter talked, “I am so sad it’s the last day of summer.” Rose sighed. “I know I’m sad too.” Peter responded. Rose wondered. “What are we going to do now?” “I don’t know.” Peter thought. “I have an idea for what we can do.” Rose excitedly said. “What?” Peter asked. “We can be rock stars.” Announced Rose. “Sure we can rock the house.” “Yep we can rock the house.” Rose repeated excitedly after Peter. “But what are we going to use for instruments.” Rose sighed again. “I think I could ask my old friend down town.” “Ok.” Rose giggled. “Let’s go together so we can both pick our instruments.” Rose replied. “I wonder how many instruments she has?” Peter wondered.
As Peter and Rose walked down the street they came upon a blue house. “This is it!” Peter told Rose. “Lets go inside” Rose gulped. As Peter opened the door, Rose was amazed “Wow.” Rose said as she dropped her mouth open she stared at all the instruments on the walls and ceiling.
“Hi.” said a voice, it was Marry. “Hi.” Peter whispered shyly. “Can we borrow some instruments?” Rose pleaded. “Sure.” Agreed Marry. “Pick anyone.” “Thanks” Peter yelled excitedly.
“But how can we pick just one?” Rose wondered. “You’ll just have to feel it.” Marry responded. “Cool.”
“I want the electric guitar.” Peter decided. “O.k.” Said Marry. “I want the flute.” Rose replied. “O.k. Marry excitedly said. “Robot Robo one electric guitar and one flute!”
“Coming up!” Marry yelled to Rose and Peter. Robo beeped as his robotic arms reached for an instrument on the wall.
“Now let’s go.” Peter hurried along. “First we need to invite everyone over.” “I can do that.” Marry responded quickly. “Robo” “Beep.” “Ok Robo lets send letters to everyone in town.” “Hurry.” Marry yelled.
Soon everybody heard the news. They hurried to the town square. Very soon Rose and Peter started to rock the house.
“This is the best day of my life.” Peter excitedly said happily. “I know.” Rose sighed. “Don’t forget to return the instruments.” Peter reminded. “I won’t.” Rose sighed again.
“I knew they would have fun.” Marry whispered as she watched them rock the house. “Beep” Robo beeped. And that’s the story of the last day of summer. The end.

School Day Adventures
School Day Adventures
It was a cold fall day of 2015 in the small school of Evilville. But… Emma and Chad would not do their work so Mr. Martin couldn’t go eat his lunch. Emma and Chad didn’t care about school or school work, so they couldn’t go play outside in the newly fallen snow. However when Mr. Martin left the room Emma and Chad ran outside to recess.
After Emma and Chad left to go to recess, Mr. Martin came back from his lunch and picked up his class from recess. As soon as they came in Emma and Chad’s class heard a strange sound coming from the closet. Suddenly the class all screamed “WE’RE GONNA DIE!!”
After Mr. Martin calmed his class down the creature came all the way out of the closet. The creature had glowing red eyes, a huge slimy head, and a body that looked like a frog. Then Mr.Science the science teacher came rushing into the room. Mr.Martin said “Thank goodness you’re here.” Hopelessly. “I have made a terrible mistake” cried Mr. Science. “I’ve made a monster that has glowing red eyes, a huge slimy head, and a body that looks like a frog!" “You mean that thing that came out of the closet?” questioned Chad. “Yes the thing that come out of the closet” Mr. Science said sarcastically. “The only way to stop it is to uh oh um I forgot.” “YOU WHAT?” yelled Emma. “I forgot.” Said Mr. Science in a weak voice. ”Well maybe we could try shooting it.” Suggested Chad. “No that won’t work”weeped the science teacher. “Maybe it just needs a special medicine.”
Said Emma. “That just might work.” said Mr. Science, “Everybody quick to the science room!” yelled Mr. Martin
“Wait what if the creature follows us?” asked Emma. “Who cares?” asked Chad. “WE DO!!!!!!!!!” screamed the class. “Okay okay “said Chad. When everybody was in the science lab, that crazy Mr.Science started on the medicine as quickly as possible. About an hour later the medicine was done. “Now if only I could get a volunteer.” Said Mr. Science. “I will feed that ugly creature!” Yelled Chad. “Okay but you have to be quick or else the medicine will explode unless you get the medicine in the creature before it’s too late!” yelled Mr.Science. “But when exactly is too late?” asked Chad. “When it is exactly eight O’ clock is when it is too late!”Weeped Mr. Science.
Then all of a sudden the creature popped into the door way and everybody screamed “CHAD TOSS THE MEDICINE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!” “I’m waiting for the perfect shot this is my only chance and if I miss we could all die!!!” screamed Chad. Then he tossed the medicine right into that creature’s mouth. Something was happening the creature was changing! Swirls of light were zooming all over the room. All of a sudden the creature tuned into a cute little girl and she said “Hi my name is Lilley!” “What are all of your names?” She asked. Everyone was silent then Mr. Martin broke the silence. He introduced himself then the class.
Then Emma asked “Do you want to live at my house and be apart of my family?” “Sure I’ll go home with you!” “You look like a lot of fun to live with!” replied Lilley. When the school day was over, Emma took Lilley home and had a new sibling forever and that was the end of all their worries.

It was a cold winter day in 2009. The Ground was covered with frozen snow at Kayla’s park in Everett. Kristie was 11 years old and Breah was 10 years old.
They decided to go sledding together.
As Breah and Kristie were sledding down the big hill, Kristie heard Breah scream.
“Hey watch out for that tree!” It was too late Kristie already hit the tree. Breah came running to help her.
“My head hurts.” Kristie cried. “Let’s go home.” Breah said.
As they were walking home Kristie looked at Breah sadly. “I do not feel good!!” Kristie said, sadly.
When Kristie and Breah got home, they told Kristie’s mom what happened at Kayla’s Park.
Kristie’s mom went to the fridge and got her an ice pack. “Here sweetie, this will make your head feel better.” her mom said.

Summer Fun
It was a beautiful day in summer 2009 at the Waterville fair. Haley was nine years old and Taylor was nine years old too. Haley and Taylor wanted to go ride the rides but they were closed.
An hour later, after lunch Haley was walking towards the goats. She was at the goats now .Who was that! Oh! It was Taylor her best friend in the whole wide world! Haley came over to Taylor and Taylor saw Haley. Haley shouted “Howdy!” Taylor said “Howdy!” back. “Haley do you want to go ride the rides with me?” asked Taylor. “Sure.” responded Haley. Haley and Taylor walked to the rides.
Oh no what a bummer the rides were closed. “Too bad that the rides are closed!” said Taylor. “Yah!” moaned Haley. ”Hey! Maybe we could go get some ice cream until the rides open?” suggested Haley. “That sounds great!” replied Taylor excitedly. Haley and Taylor had to walk all the way across the fair to get to the ice cream.
They headed off. First the girls walked by the rodeo that started in a few minutes. Then, they walked by the horses that were hooked to a pole. Next, the girls went to the ice cream place. Haley got chocolate ice cream and Taylor got chocolate too. A couple of minutes later, Haley and Taylor were heading back to the rides.
They walked by the horses hooked to the pole; they went by the rodeo, “Wow! The rides are finally open! Now we can ride the rides!” shouted Taylor with excitement. Then the girls walked to the ticket stand and the lady said, “The tickets are free today!” That was good. Then the lady gave each a girl 10 tickets. The octopus was 5 tickets. That was the first thing Haley and Taylor went on. Next they went on the Yo-Yo, which were 5 tickets also. Then they were done riding the rides and the girls had to go home. They were both as happy as could be.

Weekly Letter
2/20/09
Dear Parents,
Did you know we learned many different interesting things this week. If you continue to read you will be amazed by all our hard work.
First we have been working on six different bug species. The species we have been learning about are, Praying Mantis, Banded Alder Borer, Black Fly, Darkling Beetle, Orange Rumped Bee, Blue Eyed Dragon Fly, Camel Cricket, and Mosquito. We have found interesting facts like Praying Mantis are amazing killers of the insect world and Black Flies bite people and can put their larva into their skin. Also the Orange Rumped Bumble Bee makes honey and lives in nests.
We have also continued to work on writing our stories from our cartoons. Our stories are becoming extremely interesting and we will publish them on our blog so the world can read them. Hopefully we will make a book and send it home so you can read everyone’s work.
Finally we have just begun learning about x2 and reviewing x7. The class seems to be doing very well but we need to continue to study so that when we have our test next week we all pass. Today in math we learned about fractions and we used blocks to help us understand how different fractions are equal and how they can be added together. It was fun.
We hope to have a great weekend in the warm spring sunshine.
Sincerely,
Your Bug Expert

Colonial Letter
Dear, sir
Come to are beautiful Massachusetts and enjoy the good life. When you come to Massachusetts you can make a lot of money if you work hard and find a good job. If you are interested in being a farmer you are in luck. You can be a corn farmer. Also, if you are absolutely interested in being a blacksmith you are in luck.
The weather can be warm and cold. The weather conditions in Massachusetts change quickly. In January high temperatures are in the low 30s. Spring can be your favorite season because it is so pleasant. Be sure to bring warm clothes for the winters.
Next finding our colony is easy. I am in the New England colonies. To the south of us is Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
There is a lot of dangers in the Massachusetts colony. Native Americans might come into your town and steal things so be careful. Finding food sometimes is not very easy but if you are a good hunter or farmer you will be ok.
Now please come to the Massachusetts colony. You will find good jobs, wonderful weather, and it’s easy to find.
Sincerely,
Jeoanne Deishl

Weekly Letter
2/6/2009
Dear Rulers,
Can you believe we have finished our colonial unit and are starting to learn about insects. This is only one of the many things we have done in the last five days. First to start our new unit we looked at field guides and decided what we are going to research and put on to a poster. The poster will be like a most wanted poster. Each of us are going to become experts on a certain bug found around our area. Yesterday we watched a video to help us become more interested in bugs. Another thing we have learned this week is how to do algebra. For example 15 + N=35. To solve for “N” you minus 15 from 35 and get an answer of 20. So N=20. It’s easy once you get used to it. Now you know what we have been working on in our class. We are always busy.
Sincerely,
Your Servants
