Well after I got to school it really started dumping. By the time it was 9:00a.m. the snow was higher than the school building. We were snowed in! At lunch we were all getting restless. We were so bored that we started throwing food till the recess bell rang. Then we all ran back to our classroom. Just as we came in, Mr. Taylor announced on the intercom that school was canceled. Everyone ran outside and starting throwing snowballs. All of the kids ran outside and On Tuesday, December 5, we interviewed my dad, an incredible airline pilot. Us: What plane are you flying now?

Some kids ran into the parking lot screaming their heads off just for the fun of it. At 3:00 p.m. most of the kids had gone home, but not me. I was still there with about 50 other kids. We were all seeing how many of us we could fit in one of the trees on our playground. Then some of my friends started trying to climb the flag pole to see how far up they could get. When they got to the top. They started yelling like king Kong on the Empire state building. When I got home I heard tomorrow Flying high in the sky many backup systems. Us: How do you like your job?

Winner of the Week By Kayla Marks: Typed as written One sunny afternoon my friends Cecilia and Dillin were playing soccer with me. Dillin kicked the ball over the fence. I yelled My ball! I raced toward Dillin. Cecilia yelled Stop! Look at that house! she said. Dillin said cool! Cecilia and I screamed. Dillin said don t be sissies. We gulped at the sight of the spooky looking house. Then Dillin said listen come over here we all heard a moan. I said Let s go to my house, we can talk about this over lunch. Cecilia said What do you think that moaning sound was? I don t want to know. I said. We walked to the scary house afterwards. Then we made a plan. It was I go in the front door, Dillin goes in back and Cecilia comes with me. We all heard a noise. It was a scary noise. We all ran and bumped into each other. We all screamed so we ran up the stairs not even thinking. We saw a black figure holding my soccer ball. Dillin kicked it out of his hands. It bounced off Cecilia s head, mine, and Dillin s. We all passed out. We woke up in my front yard. I was the first to wake up. I woke up everyone else. Dillin said whoa! I was like Wow! and Cecilia screeched. I said What s the matter? she said nothing. Then Dillin called his mom and said he would be late. Cecilia said I d better go home. We all guessed that moaning sound was the black figure. But we ll never know. By Kayla Marks Bio By Kayla Marks Bio My favorite animal!
