Turquoise

Turquoise dreams of the sparkling sea

Turquoise thinks of how dark and also how light he can be

Turquoise remembers the whole blue family

Turquoise does not remember the mean colors…

It tells us all that blue is the prettiest color of peace.

Donkey Farm

I am a donkey

I wonder if I look like a horse

I hear that I don't

I see my friends being mean

I want them to be nice

I am nice

I pretend I have nice friends

I feel the farmer tie a rope around me

I touch the dirt with my hooves

I understand that someone is pulling me

I say, “Where am I going?”

I dream that he is taking me to a playground with nice friends

Burrito

I am a burrito

I wonder why somebody ate half of me!

I hear the half of me crunching in its mouth

I see a bright light

I want to live!

I am devastated

I touch the tin foil

I understand why I taste so great

I say that I had a good burrito life

I dream of having a full burrito body again

Yellow

Yellow reminds me of when the sun in shining

Yellow tastes like a cheesy, yummy hamburger

Yellow has the sound of a beeping school bus horn

Yellow is a box of curved, sweet bananas

Yellow is the season of Summer.

I hear Tillman call me for my dinner

I see him put in the food with a scooper and add water

Disney World                          

Have you ever been to Florida? Would you want to go to a theme park in Florida? If so, I recommend going there. There are different parks with fun and scary rides, great food and more! . When I went I got delicious food, went on great rides including splash mountain, test track, soaring, and so much more. You might be thinking some theme parks are too far to get to, like in another country or on the other side of your country from where you live and there might be bad food, no fun or scary rides. If you want to ride a plane not that far, go on a fun vacation, and go on fun rides, Disney World is the place to go.

I think Disney World is a great place to visit. One reason is because at all the different parks and places, there are great food and drinks. In different theme parks, there are food stands. If you’re thinking that it isn’t very fun, it is so fun! Also, they sell yummy drinks. The sell lots of food including, ice cream, mickey mouse shaped pretzels, and so much more. All the food stands are scattered around each of the parks so it’s easy to get to them.

Another reason Disney is a great place to visit is because the rides are great. They are great because they have different varieties of rides. In Epcot the rides include space mountain, test track, soaring and so much more I can’t remember! In Magic Kingdom the rides include splash mountain, the seven dwarfs roller coaster, and so much more. In hollywood studios there are the tower of terror, the 9reat movie ride, and more.

A third reason Disney World is a great place to visit is because the hotels are cool. One hotel I have been to is a great hotel to stay at. It is called Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. When you get out of the airport, you sometimes ride this cool coach bus decorated with Disney things, it has a compartment on the side and close to the bottom that the put your luggage in and there is comfy seats and tv’s. Once you get to the hotel I’ve been to, you check in and they give you leis. If you want to get something downstairs, there is a cafe that sells food and drinks. They also sell ice cream! Do you like to walk on a nice trail to see things? There is a trail to see things. There is a lounge area that you can sit.

A last reason Disney World is a great place to visit is because the transportation is cool. From the hotel, there is a door that leads to a monorail. It loops around the area. There are places on the way around the loop. One morning my family and I went on the monorail and went to go to this restaurant that does breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Also, it leads to the one of the parks. You might be wondering if the food is bad at places. It is very delicious! In some of the parking lots, there are sections that are named after the Disney characters. You can also get to Magic Kingdom from the hotels by boat.

These are the reasons you should go to Disney World and Disney World is a great place to visit.  You should really go to Disney World before it’s too busy!

Lego

Introduction

Do you like to be proud of yourself? Do you like spending time building something beautiful? Do you like accomplishing things? Well Lego is right for you! Keep on reading on and you will learn everything about Lego!

Chapter 2: The History

The things you will learn in this chapter is the history of Lego and some fun facts.

The Lego Company was started in 1932. The original owner of Lego used to make wooden toys. In 1958, the first brick came out. By the 1960’s, Lego Duplo was launched. In 1978, Lego guys with movable arms and legs came out. Lego let McDonald's advertise them in 1984. In the 1990’s Lego was one of the world’s largest manufacturers and still is. In 2001 Lego released Harry Potter sets. These would be great for people that love Harry Potter. In 2010, Lego Ninjago came out with their spinner’s so you can duel with your friends. As you can see, Lego is always coming out with new ideas.

Fun Fact: Did you know that one time a boat was carrying lots of boxes of Legos? Then a wave crashed onto the boat and made all the boxes fall off, so the Lego pieces were lost in the water. If you are lucky you can still find some pieces on the beach.
