Ballet

When we went to the ballet I thought it was pretty good! I expected that
it would be slow music, and most of it was. I especially liked the lights and the music, but in one dance there were way too many people on the stage. I thought that the one dance was very cool. They used stools and they wore these wigs that looked like they had soap in their hair. I thought that was very neat. Another dance they used scarves and they kept passing it and passing it and passing it until the last person threw it off the stage. The other one, scurry dance, they tapped their feet while they were lying down. Something I think they should have done is make people from lots of different ages instead of the same age.

Cut and Paste Poem

Children of Fairyland

Children of Fairyland juggle flowers
They balance my suitcase on a hose
They wear trumpets in their nose
They walk eighteen sharks
They eat egg yolks at the park
They grow terrible cheese grass
They measure kazoo jokes at nine

Haiku Poem

I can hear the leaves
There are many shapes and sizes
They change colour in the fall

Mona Lisa or Mona Cat

Oliver was a silly, tan-colored cat. He was always getting into trouble. One day, he got

in big trouble! At least he thought he did!


Oliver tried to catch the mouse. He’d been trying to catch the mouse for over an

hour, but he couldn’t catch him! He jumped up on the table in the hallway, trying to

chase him as he ran into his hole. Oliver tried to reach his paw in the hole, but the

table wiggled! CRASH!!! He fell off the table and a picture fell off the wall and smashed

Into lot’s of tiny pieces! It wasn’t just any painting, though…. it was the Mona Lisa! The

real one! Leonardo Da’vinci just finished painting it, and now he had just broken it! It

took over 20 years to make it! Oliver jumped off the table and ran downstairs. He lived in

Leonardo Da’Vinci’s house, and he wasn’t allowed to go upstairs, because upstairs is

where Leonardo Da’Vinci had his gallery. In the gallery, the paintings were gorgeous! He

ran to his room. “Sprout! Sprout! I broke the Mona Lisa!” Oliver cried. “You have to

help me make another, or I’ll be punished horribly.” Sprout was great with coming up

with ideas. Sprout was Oliver’s older brother. He thought and thought when he finally

came up with an idea! He went to the costume room, and got some clothes that looked

like Mona Lisa’s, and some paint. He tried to repaint Mona Lisa with Oliver posing , but

it didn’t work. It looked more like a big blob instead! “How bad could it be?” He took

the painting, and ran upstairs. He tried to hang up the painting with the nails from Mona

Lisa’s painting, but it didn’t work. Suddenly, Madilyn, Leonardo’s daughter, came

skipping past, and saw the broken painting. She yelled, “Daddy, come quick!” Leonardo

came running down the hallway. “What is it, Maddie?” She pointed to the broken

painting. “Oh my goodness, what happened?” Madilyn ran down the hall. “I’ll go get

you some milk, Daddy!” Milk always made Leonardo Da’Vinci feel better. “Mommy,

daddy needs some milk, and fast because the painting he just made broke!” She talked so

fast that her mom couldn’t even understand her! Leonardo suddenly came in, and sat

down on a chair. He looked angry! “What happened?” Sally, his wife, said. “My Mona

Lisa got broken!” he said. “My perfect Mona Lisa that I’ve been working on for twenty

years is broken!” Sally said, “Oh, you mean the replica?” “Yeah….wait……replica?” he

said. “I would never hang the real one. It’s too nice!” she said. Oliver came running in

unexpectedly, and Leonardo gave Oliver the rest of his milk, and that made Oliver feel

excited, because Leonardo never shared his milk with anybody, hardly! Oliver knew that

Leonardo thought he was a good cat, even though Oliver was a rotten egg.
