The Story Behind " The Dusty Kingdom"

    This is the story why I put this in my blog: My 1st grade teacher, Ms. Bungay, told the whole class to write a story.  And I wrote this one.  Then, a few days after I gave it to Ms. Bungay, the PRINCIPAL called me to his office.  I was really scared and while I was walking to the office, I kept thinking WHAT wrong I did.  When I got to the office, the secretary was waiting for me... Creepy...

   She told me that the principal, Mr. Donaldson, wanted to see me. So I went to Mr. Donaldson's room and sat on a chair. Then...(hey guys? Are you ready?) He slaped me on the butt...

My Jellyfish Adventure

    My Jellyfish Adventure began as... Me and my family went to this aquarium that you actually get to sleep in.  Kinda like camp but only you got to get into sleeping bags and sleep in front the tanks after the crowd has all gone.  The aquarium was called "National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium" in Pindong (屏東) south of Taiwan. 

The Dusty Kindom

WARNING: I wrote this in 1st grade so some words can be a little dumb.

    Once upon a time, there was a magical kingdom.  That kingdom was from Mars, and every year there is a huge dust devil blowing.  That was not good for me, the queen of that kingdom.

    So this story begins in a pretty palace, there was me, the queen reading a book.  Then a huge dust devil blew up,

The Land of Adventure

~Written in 1st grade

     One summer afternoon, me and my family were playing in the extraordinary, sunny, Caribbean beach.  The sea was so, so, so blue that it looked like there was no sky.

    Then, I took my sand set out and started digging - then suddenly the ground began to shake… It was like an earthquake!!  The hot sun grew hotter and hotter - then HOTTER!!

    Then it was absolutely still, very still, I looked around – I saw a fairy.

How to Disguise Spy

-Get a few stuff and toys to pretend to not spy. Example: Hannah Montana walkie talkie so that the victim thinks you are just playing.

-Try your best to evesdrop.

-Don't stare or misteriously look at your victim or else she or he will think you are really spying on him or her.

-Don't be so quiet and busy evesdropping, play and make some noise, but not too loud or you won't hear anything.

-JUST TRY TO BLEND IN!!

In winter, Adelies stay on the iceberg.  They usually lay eggs in November; the female goes out to sea first and leaves the male with the eggs to stand alone in 10 days. 

Hatching occurs after 35 days.  The chicks grow really fast and become almost as large as their parents.  Then the chicks huddle in a nursery group called crèches for warmth and protection.  By late March, the chicks can swim and can live by itself.
