How I Got My Dirt bike

I was walking through the HONDA shop in mason, looking at dirt bikes. After looking around for a while, I finally saw one I liked, but it was to big for me, and my grandpa said it was to big for me. Then I saw the one that was just my size. It was a red and black Honda XR 50, that goes 40 to 50 mph.
My grandpa asked me if I wanted it, and I said, "yes."
Then he asked.
"Do you have the money."
"NO." I said. I felt like I had just got tricked by my grandpa.
So I left the HONDA shop. I did not get my dirt bike.
Then a few weeks later my birthday came. It was icy cold during winter. I woke up from my bed. I got tons of presents. Everything I had asked for. Then my grandpa said.
" Well then I guess you wont be needing what I got you in the garage."
As soon as I heard that, I jumped up and ran out to the garage as fast as I could. I opened the garage door, and there standing on the floor was the red and black HONDA XR 50 I had wanted in the HONDA shop.

A Never Ending Trail

It was a hot summer day, late in the afternoon. I was camping with my cousin Austin and his parents. The sun was beating down on us as we sat on the hard ground in boredom, trying to think of something to do. But little did we know that within the next hour or two, we would be peddling for our lives through the center of the deepest darkest trails in the camp grounds.
We had just finished eating, and our stomachs were completely full. My aunt and uncle were cleaning up while me and Austin were sitting on a bench, staring at the cold hard ground. The sun was so hot, and no matter how hard we tried we could not think of one thing to do.
Finally I stood up and started pacing around in circles, with my hand on my chin. After a while, Austin started to join me.
By the time my aunt and uncle had finished cleaning up, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon. Austin and I were still pacing.
After a while my aunt came over to us and started staring at us with a funny glare. Then she finally said.
"why don't you two go on a bike ride."
Then it hit me. There our bikes were, sitting there so lonely. All by themselves.
After thanking my aunt for her helpful idea, me and Austin got onto our bikes and were headed down the camp roads.
Now, there were many bike trails in this camp ground; but we didn't just want to go on one of them we wanted go on all of them.
While we were going down the camp roads, Austin mentioned.
"Hey Adam, shouldn't we have brought water bottles or food with us."
"No," I said. "We wont be gone that long."

News story about Science Project

It’s all about “me”. “Me posters that is. In science class we’ve been studying about self esteem and self image. So we made “me”posters to tell about ourselves.

We glued a picture of ourselves in the middle of our posters and wrote our names at the bottom and “me” at the top. We also cut out pictures in magazines that reminded us of ourselves. Some of us glued some silly looking pictures on our posters. But they turned out great.

Also on our “me” posters we wrote words that described us. Some of us are farmers, geniuses, silly, and funny. We had some interesting words about ourselves.

Kylie in 4th grade commented, “The posters were really fun. Some of the pictures looked silly, like one of my chickens. Some were of animals. Some pictures looked neat.”

Katie in 7th grade said, “I thought some of the posters really described people. I think we should do something like that again.”

Jordan in 3rd grade said, “I thought the posters were great! I thought all of them were very colorful.”

The “me” posters really let us know what each other are like.

News story about School Uniforms

What do you think about school uniforms? Kylie Burke of the 4th grade said, “They’re cool. I think they make me look smart.” Kylie’s favorite outfit to wear is Navy blue shirt (polo) and black pants. You have a choice of these:

-shirts (all polo):Navy blue, black, white, red, and green(long sleeved or turtlenecks also)
-pants: khaki, navy blue, or black.
-skirts (girls only, lol): khaki, navy blue, black.
-sweaters: navy blue, white, red.

Jordan Crout of the 3rd grade thinks of the uniforms, “they’re ok, and they make me look smart. My favorite outfit to wear is red shirt and khaki pants.”

“I like the uniforms. I think I look smart. My favorite thing to wear is my khaki skirt and navy blue polo t-shirt.” says Katelyn Berridge of the 7th grade.

Next we’ll ask Kody Adams of the 7th grade what he thinks of the uniforms. “I think that they’re nice, because then no one has to take so much time trying to figure out what to wear in the morning. Also, you don’t have to worry about how you look, because everyone looks the same!”

Mr.Hill, the teacher and principle of the school says, “I think the uniforms look fantastic. The students look like they’re here to do work, and it comes across in their behavior.”

The uniforms are obviously something good, and the whole school thinks so. Good night.
