Six days 'til christmas! Chapter four!

Chapter four:

Presents

 

December 21^st. 8 am. Sunday.

I put my jewelry making kit back on my shelf. I just finished making a bracelet for my mom. I wrapped it up in some leftover wrapping paper, from last year, and put it under the tree. I made wooden cars for my brothers, with little people made out of clothes pins. They looked really neat. “Phew!” I said to myself. “Now I need my pot making kit.” I was going to make a mug for my dad, in Christmas green, and bright red. His favorite colors. Whizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The machine went, as it spinned the clay. I molded it in to a cup, and turned it off. I put it to dry, then I would paint it, then I would cook it.

 

In the mean time, Gabe was making presents too. He made a clay pot (from art class) for my mom. For my dad, he made I string to hold my dad’s glasses around his neck. For me, he sewed a bunch of different colored ribbons together, to make a bookmark. It was a rainbow one. For Daniel, well, he made a car like mine, but the person was a medicine dropper we don’t use, with a soda cap as a hat, and pieces of cardboard for arms, which he hot glued on. (Don’t worry. He knows how to safely hot glue, from art classes) He put each present into a gift bag, and named them

 

Nine days til' christmas! Chapter two

When we arrived, Daniel immediately found the tree he wanted. "I want that one!" He exclaimed. My mom walked over to I, to get a closer look. It was about six feet high, and full of leaves and branches. It was also very green. "Awesome tree, Daniel!" I rewarded. "This looks perfect. Right mom?" she had a big smile on her face. "Yes! Come on! Let's buy it!" After we hooked the tree on the roof of our van, we headed home.

"Here are the ornaments, mom!" I said as I brushed some dust off my clothes. These ornaments had been my Grandma's. We kept them in the attic. "Yay!" Daniel screamed. "Mom, when are we going to pick up John?" John is my younger brother, who is nine years old. He is in an after-school art class. Today, they are making ornaments. "We'll pick him up in ten minutes." My mom said, as she put a golden star ornament on the tree. "Actually" my mom said "Let's go now. They are finishing early today." "Let's go!" Daniel and I both said. "Jinx!"

My birthday!!!

My birthday was today! I got a guitar (perfect for guitar class on Tuesdays and Thursdays)
Happy birthday to me!!!

My Earth Poem

This is a poem I made for my science class project. I hope you like it!!!

The Earth is spinning at 1038 miles per hour

We don’t feel like we are going that fast

Because we are taken by its power

 

The Earth isn’t round!

It is flattened at the poles

It is also filled

With penguin and polar bear holes

 

Earth is the only planet in the solar system,

Not to be named by a mythical god

Many people think that is very odd

 

Although earthquakes can be deadly,

Most are very small

That means they are not felt by humans or animals at all

 

The Earth's temperature, weather, atmosphere and many other factors,

Are just right to keep us alive.

And everyone on earth is happily able to strive

 

God made the earth perfect for us

We don’t need any special features

To be able to adjust
