Grammer

 I saw / a gray-green slimy thing / like a snail without it's shell, / only bigger, / the size of a rat.

In the Morning

    I was in my dream. "Oh why hello Madame" said a dog that looked like Mr.Pebody to a woman in a classic 1500's poofy dress with a white curly wig on top. "Ooh" said the woman she bonked the dog's nose. Then the dog pulled me by the arm and started running off the roof, Then we started going gilding through the air. The dog looked determined to get to the water. "Riiipp!" A noise behind us as I turned my head I saw, The witch with pale pale green warty skin a long warty nose, and gray knotted tufts of hair. She grabbed her broom stick catching up her hand just inches from me then, "Sophie wake up!" said my five year old sister Ava. "You have to get ready!" I thought in my head it was just a big fat dream. I raised my head from pillow and plopped it down muttering"Uhhhh, Why can't it be Friday."

   I finally got up and put my clothes on, brushed my teeth (not my hair) Grabbed my book and headed down stairs. I was looking for Bob, our elf on the shelf. My sister started to say"He's.." "Sh don't tell me!" I went around into the kitchen and saw Bob. He was sitting on one of the oven mitts, over a tray of brownies. His puppet hand reached toward them there was a teeny tiny chunk missing, and a note that said, Make these for santa to! In messy handwriting (no offense Bob). I grabbed the Rice Krispes  from the pantry, poured the milk and started eating.

   My mom came down looking tired. "Did you see where Bob was!" my brother said. "No, where?" "Oh sorry dad moved him to get him out of the way." I said said. Then my mom said "I can't wait for break Sophie!" "I can't contain my self!" "Me too." I said unenthusiastic and tired.
 


 

Small Moment

   I went into the other locker bay saying to Alex, "Hey can you walk with me to choice hour?" I said. "Uuuu yeah." I shut my locker door and put my backpack on my back and my coat in my arms. "Ready Alex?" "No" "I need to get this and that and my planner!" "You don't need your planner all the homework we have is writing and reading" "Oh!(smile)" "Ok" "Can I shut your locker?" I said anxious "Wait!" Alex's hand kept sliding in and out trying to succeed to get her hat. "WATCH OUT!" I screamed and slammed her locker.


   "Wait!" she said as we were walking to choice hour. "What?" I said running after her. I started laughing because when she runs I watch her feet and their zig zagging all over the place! "Hahahaaaa" I started laughing she went down the hallway "Wait Alex where are you going?" She grabbed her violin and ran the other again I started to laugh hysterically. And off to choice hour we went.

Christmas

     I am super excited for Christmas break and Christmas! Only 16 days left! Which is only 384 hours is I'm not mistaken! I am super curious for what I am going to get. So I am trying to eavesdrop, and figure out any code I can for any presents that belong to me! Another thing I get excited about for Christmas is… can you guess? COOKIES!!!!! I  absolutely positively love Christmas cookies! I love Sugar cookies all chocolate cookies snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, brownie, cinnamon, gingerbread! And did I mention Sugar Cookies? Yes? Ok.


    On Christmas Eve we decorate sugar cookie with smooth thin sugar called frosting using my favorite kind of sugar. Dun Dun Dun…. (drum roll please) …… CONFECTIONERS SUGAR!!! Then after the sugar, we sprinkle even more it's a wonderful kind of sugar called sprinkles! Then we set them on a glorious plate with a very nice drink to go with it of course called milk. And that's your very fine concealed of sugar meal to Santa Claus! Every tradition that is very common with most children is, waking up at 4 a.m in the morning shaking their parents awake, dragging them downstairs, and finally ripping open Christmas wrapping. You know sometimes I wonder, at how my 5 year old sister gets up that early you know? And sometimes she sleeps in. I guess it's a natural habit, that kids grow out of.


    One of the best things about Christmas is that I get to see my whole family. That's the best part. Not the gifts the cookies, the irresistible sensation of stuffing you mouth with sugar cookies on Christmas morning (not that I do it). It's the family.

Christmas Creeps

   Now this is a Christmas Creep that happened recently at the Jarvis house~hold. This story is about a little elf who came one day, his legendary name is Bob. And this is the story of how Bob came to be.



    Ding Dong, nobody heard then again a slight Ding Dong. Then the third. "Did you guys hear that?" Questioned my brother. "What?" said my mom. Then again, Ding Dong. My mom walked to the door. Drew ran slippin' and slidin' on the smooth wooden floor. My mom hand the door opened the door without caution.   Silence    and then "Aighhhhhhhhhhhhh" came a scream so wierd it had to be one person my brother. I rushed over to get a look at what was at the door. And then  saw it. A red pointy hat with a jumpsuit made out of red cloth. The painted smile reaching ear to ear. The eyes looking right at you. Can you guess? Yup. An Elf. Not just any Elf. The elf that came on the shelf in a package at our door step. The beginning of Bob. The elf on the Jarvis's shelf. We took the box in. I really wanted an elf on the shelf this year, I was excited but freaked out. Excited! But freaked. we opened the box and untied his legs and hands.



    There was a hardcover book in the little package. We read it out loud for everyone to hear. It said we need to give it a name and that we can't touch it. And each night it reports to Santa. So we took a vote on two names. Foogie (I wanted the name but nobody else did). And Bob. Bob won, and Foogie failed. then my dad put him on the shelf above the fire place, but that was just the beginning.

Wonder

       In Wonder by R.J Palacio August Pullman a boy with a wonderous face, changes through out the book. In the beginning Auggie is a boy who everyone dislikes because of his outside appearance. Auggie does not see any good in his face, he knows what people say behind his back and it doesn't make him feel any better. Auggie is a home~schooled boy who doesn't think anybody could possibly be friends with a "freak" until one day. Auggie is supposed to be going in the 5th grade, his mom takes him for a tour of a school to see if this year he'll go to school. While Auggie takes a tour of the school he notices that some people can be rude even though they don't realize it. For example " So, whats up with your face, were you in a fire or something? " said Julian " Julian thats so rude! " said Charlotte. So like in that situation Julian is being rude but doesn't realize it until someone points out it's offensive.


      I think Auggie changes in this book mostly through maturity, and realizing new things about his face that he didn't realize in the beginning of  the book. One example is when he met Summer. He thought that like all the other kids, She was asked to be friends with him because Mr.Tushman asked him to. I think Auggie didn't realize that Summer was trying to be his friend because, he found out that Mr. Tushman asked a bunch of people but they were being real jerks instead of friends. But this girl was trying to be Kinder Than Necessary. I think if people would just get to know Auggie a little better the whole school could be friends with him!


    In wonder from the first page to the last one major change in Auggie, his perspective. On the last page when Auggie is walking with friends which he didn't have in the beginning or when a bunch of people came to take a picture with them. Auggie didn't have that in the beginning. I think that Auggie knows now from his 5th grade experience, everyone in the world can be mean and stick with " Cool Kids ", but those who decide who they'ed actually have a good time with, make good decisions. Like for example, the part when Miranda changed, and hung out with her good friends instead of popular ones, she realized that in a long time she hasn't felt really. And sometimes hanging out with the old is better than the new.



    One thing in Wonder that I learned is. Never. Ever. Ever. Judge a person by their appearance, no matter what they look like. It's always okay to be randomly nice if you see someone suffering, just being there to help them. Giving them an extra hand. And Don't Judge a person by their face.

Mrs. Roberts

   One the first day of school I was kind of nervous to meet my new 5th grade teachers. When I walked in the classroom I saw Mrs.Roberts she seemed nice maybe strict I thought. I saw Mr.Joesph he had his wooden bow tie on. I was starting to get used to the teachers in the first couple weeks I thought Mrs.Roberts was really funny. So wasMr.Joesph with his voices. I liked that about him. But, I still didn't know who my teachers really were. Now that was way back in September. Now my thoughts are totally transformed, about my two favorite teachers.

    Now In December I have definitely cracked the case about who Mrs.Roberts was. Definitely. Sometimes I think of her as my favorite twin. Like for example. In the classroom the other way back day during Science we were watching a video on skateboarders. " I kind of want to see them fall. Does that make me a bad person? "  in her British accent. Your not the only one. I thought. You see I always have these moments when the devil has possessed us both but then out of the blue this funny devil comes along and starts plying to. I think that is the best combination EVER. One thing I absolutely love about Mrs.Roberts (besides the bristish accent) is that she's always evil but funny. Really EVIL but funny. Thats one of the main things I just can't get over with about Mrs.Roberts. Now Yesterday during Roberts planners after everyone left, Zoeya was cleaning up but her team left her so, " Yeah we should do somethin' about it " said Mrs.Roberts (BRITISH ACCENT <3) " Maybe we could have a punishment " hehehehe.  " Yes! " (raising eyebrow ) she said. " Put them in the choke e! " I said. " Hahahah  (both of us dramatic evil laugh) hahaha! "

   And you see that is Mrs. Roberts gift is so funny and rare. That is why she is the Joberts teacher, because she is so funnily EVIL!!!!! That is why we must show Mrs.Roberts in the utmost respect. To praise the English Gods! For sending her down here to teach us but at the same time be the best teacher english teacher ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE, could have.

Christmas

      I love Christmas, but what about Thanksgiving? I mean stores like completely forget about Thanksgiving they just say something like this " Tis' the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la la. Save 50% on all store items, and don't forget about the kids! Save hundreds on all Christmas gifts! " I mean seriously how do you think the turkey feels when he goes black friday shopping? I think it's also getting on my nerves now.  It's been going on year after year, and what is everybody doing?  Shopping like a happy elves! I mean thanksgiving is about being thankful for things you have. And all the turkey gets is his month taken away!

     I mean don't get me wrong I love Christmas but I like Thanksgiving too! I think store people should ask how the turkey feels now that every year the turkeys holiday isn't sponsored by stores. I think would say, " Oh I don't even gobblin' care anymore really. I just sit eating Christmas cookies. " Now that would be sad. Just sad. I think that who ever is managing stores should have a pep talk to turkeys and their right for a holiday like come on stores, thrown in a turkey sweater or something like that! Now Christmas I love. Presents. Cookies. And of course more cookies. But you know I was just talking to Jerry a turkey friend of mine, and this was our conversation. " Yo Jerry my man! " " Hey Soph. " " Why so glum? " " Oh you know. The stores (sniff sniff gobble gobble gobble) They forget ll about us Turkeys. " " Oh poor Jerry. "

     And on and on. It was so sad i starting crying to then I knew what had to be done. I had to write this story to show stores it's ok to celebrate Christmas just give one month to the turkeys! Ok this what I mean decorate the stores with christmas and then have thanksgiving barf on it! That is the most simple logic ever NOW WHO'S WITH ME! Thank you for reading and remember next thanksgiving bring a giant turkey. And use the command Barf! and fwala! Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Parade

    "Whoo" "Whoo" people shouts rang in my eardrums, Me and my family were at the thanksgiving parade watching a collage band go by dressed in red uniforms. I stood up and looked past the commotion I think I saw a Kermit the frog float. I said to my dad excitingly " Hey there's a Kermit the frog float coming!" "Jeremy?" my dad said through the ear~shattering crowd, "No!, KERMIT!" I shouted back. "What?" he yelled. Oh forget I thought waving my hand. As Kermit came there were people dressed up like Kermit, with green face paint smiling (some not). They were wearing little green hats, so they kind of reminded me as elves but tall ones.

      "VANILLA ICE!" a man screamed is lunges out as Vanilla Ice passed us on a float of ice cream he waved his hand as the music was playing LOUD in the background noise. My mom got excited and I did to, this was a good start to see Vanilla Ice on thanksgiving day. You know they should have passed out ice cream with hot fudge now, wouldn't that be something. Clowns were walking in front of a "freaky" clown float. "Clowns are kinda freaky. No?" "Not really" I replied to my mom. The clowns were all cherry shaking peoples hand in the front of the bars, throwing and passing out beads, saying happy thanksgiving! Then we watched more clowns go by "freakily" smiling at everyone, I would be cold and miserable in a costume that thin on thanksgiving day I thought, as they passed by.

      On the big big screen T.V I saw a video of grover the superhero heading on it's way through the sesame street fans. When grover got to us it leaned way in. Ok so you know how they have people at the bottom of the giant balloon, and the people hold strings to control grover? The people leaned his hand way in and as soon as they did that, Everybody literally laughed and started shouting and whooping. after that a couple more collage  bands went by an we ran to our car. A few more hours later we were at my gido and tata's house (grandpa and grandma's), we turned on the T.V and the parade was on T.V, the ending. And what I saw made me furious. I saw santa. And elves. Its thanksgiving people how do think the turkey feels which what i really wanted to shout out at that very moment
