Black Bears By: Courtney

Black bears are my favorite bear. Black bears are really fast. They can run up to thirty miles per hour. They are so cool because even after wandering around in the woods for a long time, they can still find their way home. Black bears have very long tongues. They're not picky eaters either. They will eat anything like berries, nuts, seeds, roots, and grasses. They don't like to eat people. They would rather run from them. Many people are moving to places that once was black bear country. Adult black bears can climb really well. Their claws can grow up to 2.5 inches. They can grow up to four to six feet tall. Black bears are super cool, too. It's amazing what black bears can do.

Fuzzball By: Angela

Sheep are found on most farms. Sheep are very fuzzy and fluffy. My uncle has a sheep whose name is Fuzzball. He is big and wooly, and sometimes he eats too much. Sometimes he acts like a dog, and he lives with the goats. I feed him grain, walk him, and he gets petted a lot. He is a lazy sheep. He barely likes to go on his walks. But, he is a good sheep. Sometimes we have problems. He doesn't like you around when he is eating. If you get around when he is eating, he will bite. When he bites you, it doesn't feel good. He is really noisy. He rattles his food around. He gets out a lot. He is hard to get back in the cage. We thought of a solution to our problems. We thought about giving him away to the zoo or the pet store. But, we decided to keep him. He changed. He is a good sheep. He is good to have around. He is special. No other sheep could replace him because he is one of a kind. My uncle took Fuzzball back to his farm. It would be cool to have a sheep again.

Fred By: Thomas

One day, I was walking, and I saw a turtle. I picked it up and took it home. I asked my mom if I could keep it. She said "yes". I put it in a box and put grass in the box. I named him Fred. I play with Fred all day. I take him out of his box, and he walks around the yard. I feed him three times a day. Fred is an every day turtle. Fred is a box turtle. Box turtles are usually yellow and brown. Box turtles are easy to find if you know where to look. He is two inches wide, and one inch tall. One day, he kept trying to get out. My mom said that he probably missed his old habitat. So I kept him for one more day, but he still tried to get out. I did not want to take him back where I found him. I would miss him. But, sometimes you have to do things like that. He probably missed his old family. So, I walked all the way to where I found him. I took him in the box with me. My sister and I took turns carrying Fred. I let him go. I asked my mom if I could visit Fred and she said "yes". I miss Fred.

Exciting Places to Go By: Michael

I think it is very exciting to go to Bryce's house. We play any video games we want. Bryce and I play with bee-bee guns outside, and we ride dirt bikes almost all the time. Bryce and I love to go to Valley Worlds of Fun. Our favorite game is lazer tag, and our second favorite is bowling. We could have played that for at least three days. The slide is very big. It is very exciting to go to the Mannington Fair. The prizes are so awesome, and some of them are even edible. The games are very exciting to play. The rides are very delightful to go on. Aunt Debbie's house is awesome to go to. Every time I go there, we fish. We always catch big fish. She said the next time I go there, we will ride the boat. She said we will shoot the bow and arrow, but not at animals. I live to travel.

My Favorite Babysitter By: Shasta

My favorite babysitter is my brother because he and I go play football. Football is so cool because we like to play it all the time. Next, we call Greg's friend because we play for a long time. Then we go to the ball field. We go skateboarding if my brother is babysitting. We love to go skateboarding. We do a 360 all the time. At that time, Greg taught me to do an olly. Greg is a good teacher. We go to the school and do the tricks. We love to play with the puppies. It is so cool when we play with the puppies. The puppy's names are Sassy, Chunk, and Budda. They are so cute. We like to go to the pool. Greg is a good swimmer. We play games in the pool all the time. Greg and I like to play with our dirt bike. Sometimes we go to the ball field. Greg is very good at jumping. Greg taught me how to do a jump. We love to ride the dirt bike for a long time. We go to the house and go to sleep.

Being With My Sister By: Hunter R.

Do you have a sister? I think everyone would want to have a sister. I never want to stop playing with her because she is so outstanding at playing, but she runs around wild. When we pick up our toys, she helps us. She plays in her room so quietly, we have to go check on her. I take her riding on my four-wheeler, and she has a blast riding with me. When we go somewhere, she likes to ride in the truck. She likes to ride in the truck because it has big tires. She always wants to go to the diner because her friend is there. We jump so high when we are excited because it is so fun to jump on the trampoline. We jump twenty feet up in the air. We get off the trampoline and get a drink of water. Then we get back on it. Then we take a break for a little bit and go inside. We are so hot, we stand by the vent to cool off.

Places I Would Like to Visit By: Hannah

The first place I would like to visit is Kennywood. When my family and I went to Kennywood, it was a long ride there. They had food, roller coasters, and games. They only have two roller coasters. One is called the Mouse Trap. The other one is called Rollo. Rollo is a kid's roller coaster, but the Mouse Trap isn't because it has sharp turns. The Rollo doesn't have any sharp turns at all. The food was outstanding at Kennywood. They had funnel cakes with strawberries on it. I have never tasted anything like that ever before. They also had games there, but my mom didn't let me play them. The second place is Idlewild. Idlewild has many things to do. You can go to the water park, swim, and ride rides. The water park is amazing. It has a giant bucket that the people fill up with water. When it gets full, it tips over and dumps all of the water on the people below. They have a pool there, too. First, you have to go down a waterslide, then you can swim. I swam for about one minute then I got out. I didn't feel like swimming. So I went to ride the rides. The third place is Arizona. Arizona is the hottest in August. When it's August in Arizona, it is 100 degrees farenheit. That is extremely hot compared to us in August. Arizona has a ton of places to eat. They have Chewy's, Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Cheddars, and more. If I had to pick where to eat, I would pick Chewy's because I have never heard of it, and I would like to eat there. I wish I could live in Arizona. The very last place is Big Bear Lake. I like to go there because I get to be with my famly. When we arrive, we rest because it is a two hour drive. Afer we rest, we go to the little lake. I swim for a little bit then I go on the waterslide. A few years ago, I got turned around on my mat, and I fell off. The waterslide was rough. I had to see if I got cut up bad. I did. Then my mom took me to get some ice cream across the street to make me feel better. It made me feel better right away, but it still hurt very badly. I got two scoops of ice cream with sprinkles. So would you want to go to all of these place? I sure do!
