Strange Dream
Last night, I had one of the strangest dreams that I have ever had. In my dream, I was in my house with my dad, a lady, a fat, bald man, and a man with a mustache. We were all sitting down, but suddenly we all stood up and went to look out the window. Outside, there stood a giant man with a gas mask and a bright blue suit. This man was at least a hundred feet tall. I went outside and looked at the man closer. After looking at him, I tripped and tried running back inside. The giant then turned towards my house, and I knew he was going to destroy the house, so I ran into our pantry, where I found the fat, bald man eating some food. I told him that we could live in the pantry with food forever, but he said that we couldn't because then we would have to be vegans. I then ran out of the pantry, and told all the other people to get inside the pantry because the giant was ripping apart our house, but as they ran, the giant grabbed my dad and ate him. After the woman and the man with the mustache were inside, I went inside and closed the door behind me to find that the pantry had turned into a multi-story warehouse. The giant started to break into the warehouse-pantry. I was sincerely frightened, so the four remaining people, including me, ran and hi

The Perfect Teacher

A good teacher must be interesting. Some teachers can be funny to be interesting, but if you’re not, don’t try (It’s not something you can learn). You can also make your subject interesting. Some teachers may say, “How do you make Math or Language Arts interesting?” If you are one of these teachers, try making fun study strategies you can do in class, such as Trivia or Jeopardy. If that’s not your style, you can assign cool projects like making 3-D geometric shapes for math and making a scene from a book in a shoebox. Teachers can also assign kids to read books that are at their reading level, but also books that they will enjoy. This type of work is probably going to make kids more relaxed, instead of making them tense and thinking, “Oh no! Ten hours of slave labor from the textbook!” (This is not a personal comment.) When the kids are less tense, the classroom atmosphere will be less tense, which makes it a better working environment.
A good teacher also helps students who are falling behind in class. A teacher could think, “We will get through the book. We won’t slow down, stop, or review, and I don’t care if my students get Fs.” (This is not a personal comment) A good teacher doesn’t think this; they would help kids and slow down for them. If a teacher does this, the students she helps will respect her, and actually, this is what a teacher should do, because these student’s grades on the Star Test will reflect on how well the teacher taught them. The kids in class will be happier because they know that if the don’t understand something, the teacher will help them keep up with the rest of the students.

Rabk - Part 12
Part 12
Rabk
At this point in the story, Rabk and Beowulf have been fighting a rather large spider. Unfortunately, as in all stories with rather large spiders, they are too strong for the hero. Rabk, at the moment, has a rather large spider leg on his stomach and has the mouth of a rather large spider inches from his head, but we will stop the story and continue it in a short while. In most stories, characters would have their lives flashing before their eyes, but because Rabk is not a normal fictional character, all he thought was, "Those are some large fangs.", but Beowulf, being a normal fiction hero, saw Rabk's life flash before his eyes, which Beowulf thought was rather odd. The molds on the cave walls were not thinking anything at the moment. The spider was thinking nothing but 'FOOD!' At this point in stories with large spiders, a rather short person would come into the cave with a light, a sword, and no shoes on, and would scare the monster away, or a crazy, self-guided, flying car would come and roll over the spider, but that does not happen in this story, and we will get back to what does happen now. As the spider lunged to eat Rabk and Rabk thought about large fangs, a machine gun fired and the spider backed up and started twitching, and soon ran off. Rabk stayed lying down, and took many deep breathes. Beowulf stood up and leaned against the wall, and rubbed his head with a face full of pain. Seeing Rabk's life story was a very painful experience. Rabk, after about five minutes, looks up to see his savior, and finds a man with a beard and blue camouflage on holding a machine gun. "Who is that?" asked Rabk. Beowulf looked up, still rubbing his head. "I don't know." he said, "but that beard looks very familiar." "I know!" responded Rabk, "But I can't put a pin in exactly who's beard it is." Rabk and Beowulf spend about ten more minutes figuring out who's beard it is. In the mean time, I'm going to describe the beard. The beard was brown with a small bit of blond in it. It was about six inches long from the chin to the end, and the beard was very scruffy and had a few hairs just sticking out of it. Finally, Rabk and Beowulf figured out who's beard it was. "It's Bert's beard!" said Rabk happily. After having the normal greetings, Rabk asks "What are you doing here, Bert?" Bert frowned and said "I thought it would be more interesting to follow you than to guard Atlantis. I just have to scrutinize every fish that passes by." "Well, c'mon then!" said Beowulf happily, and they walked down the path. Soon, they found the end of the cave, and they all cheered. They ran towards the light, but came to a halt as they exited the cave. A pistol was pointed at each of their heads. Rabk slowly looked up from the barrel of the pistol to see who was holding it. He found Captain Hook on the other side of the gun. "We meet again, boy. I have a bone to pick with you."

France- Day 5 (Last Day!)
Today, my dad and I went to Notre Dame Cathedral. We listened to the mass in the morning and looked at the inside of the cathedral, seeing the rose windows and the amazing ceiling. We went into the bell towers on a tour. We saw a lot of gargoyles and one of the main bells. Some of the gargoyles looked very funny. You can tell in the towers better than anywhere else that the cathedral is on an island. There is a statue of Charlemagne outside of the cathedral. We also went to the Crypte Archeologique, which is an ancient Gallo-Roman city underneath the front of the cathedral. Across the river from the cathedral, we found Shakespeare & Co. (Finally!). It is an old En

France- Day 1
Today was a big eye-opener for me. I know little French and felt like a child in Paris because of my limited speaking abilities. The way everybody talked made me feel American. My dad stood out in the crowd even more than I did. He wore a white sweatshirt, while everybody around us was wearing dark clothing. Luckily, I was wearing a dark coat that day. Although we walked by the Pantheon today, we did not go inside. We are going to save going inside for a different day. We went into the Jardin du Luxembourg, which was probably the largest park I had ever

A President's Day Story
There was once a land known as Gindoris. At one time, Gindoris was a great Empire, ruled by an Emperor, but the differences between many of the people were too great, and the country split into 27 individual city-states. The people within these city states couldn't decide on names, so they name each other after letters in the alphabet. The A-tribe was the most populated city-state, and the Z-tribe was the least populated city-state. The A1 city-state was the only one not named after just a letter. For some reason, the other tribes gave it this name for its people's love of raising cows. The tribes were separated for so long, that all the good things that the Empire had given to the people had disappeared. A radical group of scholars wanted to reunite the tribes so that they might regain the greatness that the Empire had, but because none of the tribes could agree on who would lead them, the scholars proposed the creation of a democracy, run by presidents. All the tribes saw this as fair, so the democracy was begun, with a great president at their head. The president restored the greatness of the tribes and everybody was happy with him. Although the first few presidents were good, the presidents started becoming corrupt, and only candidates from the old A-tribe were getting elected. These A-tribe presidents would always give A_Tribe the best of everything. The other tribes became jealous and war broke out. Eventually, the A-Tribe was kicked out of the democracy, and everybody was happy and the democracy lived on forever. The A-tribe became a small, weak country known as Alabarkit, and the A1-tribe was renamed to the A-tribe. And everybody (except the A-tribe) lived happily ever after.

A Story I Just Wrote
There was a time when four whales roamed the oceans. Disliked by all the other whales, these whales roamed alone by themselves. One day, they reached the coast of an island. On the coast, they found an otter. The otter had never seen any whales before, so he came close to the whales to get a better look. The whales had no idea what the otter was, so they grabbed it and made a small cage to put it in. When they did this, the otter started crying. The whales asked the otter why he was crying, and the otter replied that he missed his home, so the whales set him free and let him go back to land to go home. The whales started to think. If the otter was so desperate to get home, then he must miss it a lot. The whales had been kicked out of there home, but they didn't miss it at all. The four whales wondered why they didn't miss their home, but the otter did. Then the smartest whale of the four (who wasn't very smart at all) had an idea. The only difference between the homes of the otter and the whales was that one was on land and the other was in the ocean, so the whales concluded that homes on land are much better than homes in the ocean. At once, the whales hopped out of the ocean and made their own home on land, and soon, they had many friends. All their friends were humans who all were wearing flowery shirts and almost all of them had a small, flashing electronic object which they pointed at the whales. With all these friends, the whales decided that they needed hobbies, like their friends. One of their friends was a fisherman, so the whales decided to take up fishing. They would jump in the water, grab random fish, build the fish tanks, and bring the fish back on land. Soon, the whales had the largest aquarium owned by marine mammals. Unfortunately, when the whales went fishing one day, they hopped into the water and went into a school of sardines. The sardines got sucked into the whales' blow holes, and all the whales drown.

Poem, C Momentous
This is the story of Bob the turtle
Who escaped from his tank
And ran off and played the Kazoo
He ran off playing his kazoo
And met a snake named George
George was thin and George was blue
And knew a turtle named Fred
Fred was Red. Fred was Slow
Fred knew how to play Bassoon
George knew how to play a large Trombone
So away they went playing kazoo, bassoon, and a large trombone
On their way, George saw frogs
He ran off to fry them, and cook them, and eat them
So Fred and Bob went on their way playing kazoo and bassoon
Then Fred saw Crickets, jumping with glee
He ran off to catch them and smash them and eat them all up
So Bob went on with his Kazoo, playing it as he went
Then Bob discovered he was alone
So he moped, and he groped, and he cried for so long
Then a beetle heard him and cried right along
Then they cried and they cried ‘til they got back
To Bob’s comfy tank which was such a rack
Then Bob’s owners found him and clapped with much joy
Singing “Bob has come back with a beetle bug boy!”
