 * Rolling Santa

Tick, tock! Tick tock! That’s the last clock that we’re going to make until Christmas. I’m an elf named Tweaky along with my five brothers named Leaky, Feefie, Teaky, Peakie and Meakie. We all work in Santa’s workshop. I started to walk out of the toy-making room when I heard a booom! I hurried into the candy room where we store all the candy and I found that Santa ate all the candy and crashed through the brick wall rolling down Candy Cane Mountain. I went screaming to tell the other elves. We all hurried out to go stop Santa. Santa was totally squishing and squashing all the elves in his path. Slaaamm, boinnggg. He was leaving a trail of every tree and elf that got in his path. Boooom! He hit the candy cane trees. He was crushing all the smaller ones and bouncing off the big ones like a human pinball machine. The sparkly shiny candy cane trees were now just crumbs, While the elves were just little squashed green leafs. I had to do something and fast. When I looked down Santa was headed for his own reindeer! There goes Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, Vixon, Dancer, Prancer, Dasher and oh no ! not Rudolph. Then I figured out how to stop that twisting red ball of madness. I ran into the extra supply room, where we store all the extra things and grabbed a chocolate bar. I looked down the mountain where Santa was still spinning and I shouted “I’ve got a candy bar Santa”. Imedietly he ran to where I was standing and asked”C an I have it? I mumbled” sure”. So he devoured it and walked back to the shop. All of a sudden boooom there goes Santa. Rolling Santa

Diary of a sea turtle Date: June 23

Today I was born. I was just a little sea turtle and I’ve been waiting four years for me to be born after my mom mated. Boy was I sure anxious to get out. When I got out it was so exciting. I felt the cold good water. It smelled like dinner or maybe I was just Hungary. Everything I saw was beautifull. The reasons everythings bueatiful is because I’m used to staring at the inside of an eggshell.

Date: June 24

It’s the ceremony for my birth today. During it the turtles gave me a name Michael and then they gave a speech on how I was the one out of the one thousandths turtle that survived. After his lame speech I felt like I wanted to celebrate but before we did that I talked for a little bit and told how this is the happiest day of my life.

Date: June 25 My parents dropped me of on the first day off school today. I met tons of friends but my best friends name was snake because he had a neck that was bigger than his body. I then figured out he was a snake turtle.

Date: June 26

Today was a day off from school. I met a sea turtle that was over 100 years old and was 1500 pounds. I never knew they could get that old and that heavy. Before I new that he was that big I said have you been going to McDonalds lately. I also met some clown fish. They told the funniest jokes like why did the clown fish swim all around the ocean: Because he had to find his son named Nemo.

Date: June 27

When we came back to school the teachers told us that were going to have a new principle. They also said that he had 70 bones connected in his shell and you’re only supposed to have 60. I’m kind of excited that were going to have a new principle.

Date: June 28

Today were going on a field trip. On it was going to catch a current that’s going to take us to Galapolis Island. I heard that some turtles are faster than humans there. I can’t wait to go.

Date: June 29

There was a turtle on the news today that didn’t eat for more than 100 years He must have been starving to death. They said he lived so that’s good. I didn’t even know that you could go that long without eating.

Date: June 30

Today while I was swimming I ran in to my mom. I was really excited. She was excited to. While I was swimming I asked if we could do something. She said I don’t know it depends what it is. So I said how about we go to Galapagos Island Where some turtles are faster than humans on the land. She said know because after I had you I’m probably not going to step on land again.

Date: June 31

Today I had to figure out a graduation speech because I’m graduating tomorrow. The classes and days are really short that’s why I’m graduating so soon. I have to add information in the speech like how long we’ve lived. I found we lived for 100 years

Date: July 1

Today’s graduation and I had a great speech. Instead of putting we live until 100 years I put our species has been living for more than 200 million years and long live the turtles.

__Mary__ I am excited and kind I wonder how the baby will look later on I hear the wind I see what the baby might look like I want his name to be Jesus I am excited and kind I pretend that I'm holding him I feel like a special person I touch my clothing while I’m thingking I worry that he might be in danger I cry that my baby will not be born in a home I am excited and kind I understand that this baby will be a Savior I say that I can’t wait I dream what he might look like I try to keep my mind of the baby I hope he'll be a good person I am excited and kind

__Shepherds__ Day before Christmas Angels from God came to us It might be bad news The angels had some good news Don’t doubt an angel of god

__Baby Jesus__ I remember staring at the people around my manger I remember seeing the stars in the sky I remember looking at the cracks in the stable and how the wind blew in and it made me cold I remember seeing the shepherds I remember looking at the animals around me also I remember being born in a stable even if it was a bad place to be born I remember looking at the tears in Mary’s eyes But my favorite memory’s yet to come

= = == = = = = = = =Monamera = = =  A animal was spotted on the coast of Florida. I new this because I was exploring in Florida. It is called a monamera, mon/air/mer/a. It is part fish, bird and cheetah. A monamera can run like a cheetah, swim like a fish and fly like a bird. It eats all what a cheetah, bird and fish eats which is worms, fish and other animals. People hunt them but its hard to get them because they live in water, fields and in trees. They live up to twenty years old. You’re able to eat them if you can shoot them too. A monameras eggs are about seven inches tall and five inches wide. They grow to be about three feet tall. Monameras are very smart. Monameras are very unique also. They are one of the coolest animals ever. . I have one as a pet. Its fun to have one as a pet too. In stores they make monamera food. That’s what they eat if thery’re a pet. I have to give it lots of care. I take care of mine by giving it food twice a day and petting him whenever I can. My nieghbors don’t like him because they think he wrecked their garden once. The best thing I ever did with him is go on a camping trip. We ran, swam and I got to fly him. My pet is one of my favorite thing in the world.
