In the beginning of the year I was really nervous because I never had a boy teacher. I always had a girl teacher. I had a lot of fun on the first day of school because we didn't do any work. Then on like the fifth day of school we had a little work then it got more and more the next couple of weeks.

At the fourth quarter the days got longer and less home work and no more spelling tests. The last quarter is my favorite because we have less work to d

One day at my cabin I was swimming. My sister asked me if I wanted to dive for golf balls in the lake.

"Sure," I said.

She threw the golf ball and I dove after it. I got it and I brought it back to her. She threw it a couple of times, then she threw it and it hit the dock and started to roll down the dock. It fell off the dock at the end.

The end of the dock is about four feet deep, so I went to get it, and I dove down and I missed it. So I tried again and I heard a boat drive past. The water felt really warm. My sisters said they saw a fish go down by my hand. I felt a little tingle when I reached for the golf ball. When I got out of the water I said, "A FISH BIT ME!

I didn't like testing this week becaause some of the questions were hard. I liked some of the parts. I liked the breaks. The hardest test was the writing because I don't like to write. It sucked for me. Tests are my worst nightmare. They give you so many questions. I thought I would never finnish the benchmark test.

Ralph S. Mouse By Beverly Cleary is about a mouse and he likes to go on big adventures. Ralph knows how to drive a toy motorcycle. He makes a motorcycle sound to make it go.

Ralph lived in the Mountain View Inn. He moved to a school were his human friend went. Ralph's motorcycle got crushed. The guy who broke his motorcycle gave Ralph something, because he broke his motorcycle.

I liked the part when Ralph went through puddles in the lobby because it would be really fun. I didn't like the part when Ralph's motorcycle got crushed by the bully because if I was Ralph I would be really sad. I liked the part of the story when the bully gave Ralph a surprise because I knew that Ralph would be surprised. I didn't like when Ralph wouldn't share his motorcycle with his cousins, because if I was Ralph's cousins I would think Ralph was selfish.

There was a bull named Bob. Bob liked to ram the other cows. But one day Bob rammed a female cow and she got hurt really badly. The farmer came outside to see what was happening. The female cow named Mary was on the ground, so the farmer took her to the vet.

The past few weeks every cow was scared of Bob. Everyone was really scared that Mary might not come back. Mary was the coolest cow in North Texas. A month after the knockdown Mary came back with another bull named Bruce. Bruce was really shy being with 700 cows.

One week later a pig named Smiley came to the farm. When Smiley stepped toward a cow they backed away because they didn't want to be squashed. Smiley weighed 6,000,000 pounds. The ground shook every step he took.

A boy named Ben really wanted to go to the lake. The lake was named Lake Monster. It was called that because there were monsters there.

Ben was 10 years old. He was going to have his 11th birthday on Tuesday. That was in three days. Ben coudn't wait any longer. So two days went past and it was Ben's birthday the next day.

Ben's mom and dad went to the store to buy presents. Before Ben's parent's went to buy presents, they told Ben not to go near the lake. When Ben's parents left Ben got his swim suit on, even though they told him not to, and ran to the lake. When he got there, he jumped in. It was warm and sandy at the bottom. He was there for 20 minutes and he heard a splash. Ben thought it was a fish so he didn't care. Then he heard it again and again and it was geting closer and closer and it stopped.

He felt the lake shaking and a little splash was right under him. He got so scared that he coudn't even move. Ben looked under his floaty toy and he saw a little fish. "That little fish scard me half to death," said Ben. Then he felt the lake shake again. He thought it was a fish again, but it wasn't. It was the Monster! Ben thought it was a fish like a little fish again. The splash got closer and closer and it splashed right under him and the big splash maed him fly up into the sky and he landed in the deep part of the lake.
