My Third Grade Class
When I was in third grade my teacher said we were having a store and she told us if we want to bring something we can.i brought some cookies and cupcakes and only four people are a loud to help sell the juices and the sweet snacks. I was one of the four to help sell the snacks. It was so hard because there was a lot of people some teachers came as well. Some snacks were still left but most of them were gone. The next day of school in the afternoon we played soft ball. It was fun I hit about four balls and on to hits I got home safely and on tow I did not make it but we had to switch like my team had in field and the other team had out field and now we switch we have out field and they have in field and after they hit five balls we had to go back inside are class room.

Energy
What is energy? To me energy is power and electricity,when you run fast it's your energy.
Where do you see or experience energy?I see energy every where because energy is in many things like a car it as power in it,so does a shool because there is electricity in the hall ways and in the class rooms,also I see energy when people are running fast.also I experience energy when the power is on and when you can move objects realy kwickly and move fast.

My favorite kind of toy is a colorful board games that have a lot of colorful pieces to the game.Also my favorite animal is a little adorable little cuddly little puppy pit bull that will cuddle with me all the time. My secret hiding place is up in the trees where you could fill the cool air and see the bright blue skies.Now my best friend is Isabella she has brown curly hair that is brown and brown eyes like mine.Now my favorite thing to do would be playing soccer with older girls and boys and girls my age when you kick a soccer ball really fast it fills like you were playing golf.

Then I went to go take a shower. When I got out I changed into my clothes and then the phone rang it sounded like if I were in school. I answered all I could here was somebody breathing. The person was breathing fast as if the person was running around the world. Then who ever called hung up on me after I said who is this. At first I thought it was a prank but it really wasn’t. So I turned on the TV then I heard the phone ringing again my heart was beating so fast that it felt like If I was getting   Somebody Called  chased by a big dog. Then I answered the phone it was the same person that called 10 minuets ago so I hung up on that person. I decided to go where my grandma was. I went back in my grandmas room because I was bored. Then the phone rang so I answered and it was the same person that would not talk on the phone. Then I told my grandma she told me to leave the phone in the kitchen with her so I did and then I took the phone it rang and I said who ever you are if you do not stop calling then I will call the police then I hung up. Then I quietly put the phone back where it was and then I sat down. After I told her that the person called again she got mad at me for taking the phone. After she yelled at me the phone rang I gulp I was so scared that I gulp one more time. So I decided to go in the living room. I was about to sit down until I heard my grandma yelling in the kitchen so I got back up I ran in the kitchen it was my grandma yelling at the person that kept calling. Then every body woke up and started asking so many questions it felt like if I was a popular rich person and these news people were asking me so many questions. But my grandma was so scared that she will fill safe if she calls my aunt. So she did call my aunt so she does not fill scared. My aunt was on her way she was bringing her kids with her. Well now my grandma can fill even more safer. While my grandma was talking to my aunt about what happened I decided to go in my sisters room. But then Luis came in and ask me about what happened this morning and I told him. But they were leaving so I told him really fast. But one of them stayed it was Michel. He was the one that would always likes to wrestle with me and my sister.  Then it was getting dark so I wanted to watch this scary movie that my aunt Alex had rented.

One bright morning I woke up. But something was different about today and so I asked my mom what was so special about today? My mom said it’s Thanksgiving. I said well I new that.I was about to ask my mom something. But she just left to go talk to my aunt about today. So I went to go get ready before the rest of the family comes. My family has Thanksgiving at night. The reason why is because it sounds like a good time to do it at night. The food that we make for Thanksgiving are Turkey,Mash Potatoes with Gravy,Corn,Green Beans. For dessert we have Ice-Cream,Pumpkin Pie with whip cream,J-E-L-L-O,Apple pie.My favorite foods are Mash Potatoes with Gravy, Corn,Green Beans and all of the dessert’s.When I walk threw the kitchen I feel like I am in heaven floating all around the food that we are making.But while my mom and all my aunts prepare for dinner me and my cousins go play tag or hide-o- seek.After I eat I feel like not doing anything else.After dinner we will go out as a family to spin time with each other. Right now were just getting ready to leave. Today we are going bowling. Me and my cousins were excited! I kept on missing some of the bowling pins because of the bright lights that were going all over the place. After that we all went home. My favorite parts of the day are the food and playing with my family members and going out as a family.

Tall grass billowed in the wind like waves on an endless sea.
The wind blew at the tall grass and the grass was moving like an ocean.

The Time I Got My PitBulls

When I was 8 years old my daddy got me tow puppy's one was blue and  his name was Pewee and the other pit bull was brown and white his name was Oso. They both were my favorite pit bulls that I ever had. Every time I would get on the waggon Oso will pull me from the handle. He will pull you really fast like if you were in a car sticking your head out the window. When my mom calls me for dinner Oso will take me to the front door step like in the Cinderella movie she gets dropped off at the castle. Pewee is really playful and he is gentle with everybody and he likes kids so does Oso. When there are food that I do not like I would give the food to my dog’s and that’s why they like it when it’s breakfast, dinner, lunch. My dogs do not sleep outside because if they do then I will go sleep with them outside. In the mornings I will feed them breakfast. Then I will take them out for a walk. Some times when I take them out to walk and if a dog barks at my dog then my dog will bark at the dog back. Some times when my mom wakes up and she does not see me then she will freak out she will also call the police. Then when I come home I would see my mom crying her eyes out and so I went to go talk to her and asked her why she was crying she said because you were missing. I started to laugh because she has not notice me yet. Then she recognizes my laugh and she started to hug me and kiss me to death and she told me next time when you walk the dogs live a note and I said o.k. Then the next day there was these teenagers that were walking and they were throwing hard rocks at them and I told my dad and he came outside and told all four of the boys to stop or else I will call the police on you. But they did not stop so my dogs started to bark at them it became a big problem so the  cops had to shoot my to dogs. It was very sad. We did not have the money to save them. But they will both be my favorite dogs in the world. Â
