Writing: Sophie the Weirdo

As I was in bed, almost asleep, I heard the door crack open and my sister ran into the room. She was wearing pink footie pajamas with cartoon pandas all over them. She had her hands behind her back, and began dancing around my room.

Then she started singing, “I turn the lights off then I turn them back ooooonnnn, shining like it’s a light.”  And the the next thing I know she’s turning the lights on and off. To make me laugh even more, she opened her hands and threw money all over the place, I would have gotten out of bed to get it, but she picked it up to fast. Finally after she left, I was able to fall asleep peacefully.

I was taking a walk in the park one night when suddenly, I saw a meteor falling toward the Earth. I was freaked out and decided to make a run for it! I ran back into my house and looked out the window, the meteor was right there on the ground in my front yard! But something about this meteor was weird…

Once I opened the door and peeked outside(feel free to hum a scary tune while reading this)the meteor was gone. What stood there now was a strange looking device with buttons and levers…(okay, you can stop humming now)The device looked like a spaceship.

I am a bug investigator. My partner and I had just been assigned on a mission to figure out how a bee had been shot. We only know that the bee is dead and it had no living family members. We live in a world where everyone is small and the people who live there are called awahoos ( A- Wa- Hoo- S ).  Well I should stop telling you about our life here in our country and figure out who killed the bee. I really dont want to get hurt in this investigation so you shall come with me. Lets go!

I hate how Homo Sapiens Think they are oh so superior and are aloud to kill an innocent animal, and get away with it. but us klʊərɨkɔːn, or to the hominids, Pygmies, can easily wipe them out, just as we
did with homo erectus, and homo habilis, and homo erectus, and antecessor….This bee was dying because some cruel person swatted her out of the
air. I shook his hand, a simple gesture we do in respect. Just you wait, Homo sapiens,
we can hunt every single one of you, until not a single human face will show
itself on earth.

My Favorite Genres

                  My Favorite Genres in Books by Manny

    I’m here right now to share some of my favorite genres in books and reading. I love to read! Fantasy, realistic fiction, poetry, anything! Except historical fiction. But I love to read, and in this next paragraph, I’m gonna share my favorite genres.

    Well first, I love realistic fiction! For a long while, it was all I read. StarGirl, Jake and Lily, and a lot of others! I like realistic fiction because it’s really cool how you can relate to the characters in life situations. The next genre is adventure. Some books in the adventure genre I’ve read are Warriors, Geronimo Stilton, and last but not least The Land of Stories; The Wishing Spell. I’m not a fan of survival adventure, but I like it to have a little sports in it. I like adventure because it’s always exciting and urges you onward in the book. The last genre I’m going to share with you is mystery. I love mystery! It really pushes you to read more, like in adventure. Some mystery novels I’ve read include the A to Z Mysteries, and Sammy Keyes. I like mystery because you feel like you can predict and have a feeling of who stole what, or who did this or that.

    Well, those are my favorite genres in books. I love these all, and I’ll always take time to read them.

Curiosity Projects

Curiosity projects

By:Abby

In class we have been working on our curiosity projects. Over spring break we were given the assignment to think about what we were curious about. Then when we got back to the school we had to chose a topic to research. I chose the topic of how to tell if someone is lying. At first I thought the topic would be to small and not a lot to research. When I really got into it I learned a lot and found the topic very very interesting. Everyone else in the class has chosen a topic and is researching it to present to the class one day. SOme other projects will be on radiation, animal abuse, sharks, cake decoration and sea turtles and many more.

Now let me tell a little about how we will be graded. We will be graded on spelling and grammar, our information, how our idea began ( our curiosity story ), a reflection which we have to complete and our organization. I am looking forward to the day where we present our projects to the class. To learn about others curiosities and to teach everyone in my class about how to tell if  someone is lying. Some people are presenting their projects in a form of a movie, a keynote, prezi and many more ways. I also have tested my knowledge on how to tell if someone is lying on my sister. This journey has been very fun.

What are you curious about?

Book Review: Sammy Keyes And the Hotel Thief

  The Anticipated Book #6 by Manny

    As you all know, I heart Sammy Keyes. I love everything about it, but I just have one problem: I haven’t read the first book! BingBing decided to read it, and Mya got it as an ASK book from the library. And because of that, I had to start at book #2. Now I’m on #4, Sammy Keyes and the Runaway Elf. But I have heard that this is the most popular and successful in the whole series, so of course I’ll give it a shot! Also, this won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Children’s Mystery!

    The book is about Sammy and how she saw a man look into her a woman’s purse and find 3,000 bucks! Apparently he sees her, which is pretty scary! I’m not sure the rest of the story, but I’m really sure it’ll be a great Sammy Keyes. Have you read this book?
