The Icy River

While I sit at a restraunt,

I am thinking to write a poem

I look down at my water with ice floating in it

And think of this:

An icy crackle
Leads the way
To the water
Cold by day
And when the sun
Comes out to play
Goodbye ice
Go away!

Me and Tea

I was sitting on a bench, until I saw my best friend Tea. I picked her up and said to her :"Wouldn't a kiss be great indeed?" And she replied " I think it would," so I picked her up and we kissed.

Cat with tail, Cat without tail

This is a play, called Cat with tail, Cat without tail. " Manx and Japanese Bobtail: "What is that following you?" Tabby: "A tail." Manx: "What is a TAAEL?" Tabby: "Ha Ha,. A TAIL, not a TAAEL. A tail is a thing that follows cats. WAIT! Where are YOUR tails?" Japanese bobtail : "I have NO IDEA!" Tabby: " I'll help you look for them!" Manx: "Wait. We were born without tails." Tabby: "Strange"
The End.

Woofie and Pawla, a story of a dog and a cat. By Noel Chi

Once upon a time, in a place called Petland, a cat went to the vet. The vet asked her "What is wrong?" The cat answered, "Ohhhh, meow. A dog bit my tail off." The vet asked "What is your name?" The cat said "My name is Pawla." "Oh," said the vet, " Tell me the story." And so Pawla began, " I was out playing in the yard with my sister, Pawtricia. Pawtricia got thirsty, so she went off to find water. I stayed in the yard and looked for something to do. I found a ball, so I started to play with it. When I got tired, I started to walk around the yard, looking for Pawtricia. Just then, my tail broke off from what felt like a painful bite. I turned quickly and saw the neighbor's dog, Woofie, run off. I slowly crept after him. He may look cute, but he is really quite a bully! I saw him bury my tail in the yard. Then I saw Pawtricia come back. I told her the whole story, then showed her my bobbed tail. Pawtricia sunk to the ground and started to cry. After shedding her first tear, she got up and started running in circles around the yard. She cried out "WET! WET! I HATE WET! WET! WET! WET! WET!" We went to tell our owners, Maria, Marissa, Mary, Marie, Mario, Mitchell, and the youngest one, Mia. We meowed out the whole story. There." The vet said, "Here, put this lotion on your bobbed tail before bed every day." THE END

Very fun Halloween 2011

I had a very fun Halloween. A happy, magical, pretty unicorn casts the spell for a fun (not scary) Halloween.
2nd grade teachers! Mrs. Wilson(left) is a princess ( She is my teacher.) And Mrs. Gardewine (right) is a doctor.
Next is a picture of a unicorn and a cupcake, two friends, leaving the costume parade. ( With an angel and bumblebee in the background.)
Next is the last picture, of trick-or-treat friends.

Hansel and Gretel

I went to the Hansel and Gretel play on Friday, October 21, 2011. The show was very funny. I liked it a lot. The witch was funny too. The witch was a boy. The candy house idea was neat. The roof glowed in the dark. Real cupcakes were on the windowsill, and Hansel and Gretel ate them. In the end there was this BIG fake gingerbread cookie that the witch had turned into. The picture above is me with Hansel and Gretel. The fire was orange and red streamers blown by air and surrounded by smoke. At the end of the show, I stepped up near the stage and picked up a small prop, a piece of yellow tissue paper that was supposed to be sand from the Dew Fairy or feathers from the Cuckoo Bird.

Carving a Pumpkin for the 1st Time!

 I carved a pumkin for the very first time on Monday, Oct. 10, 2011, or 10/10. I carved a cat with wings, with a moon outline. In this picture of me you can see me poking a design in the pumpkin. I am using a special tool, a poke nail. (or a thumbtack?) 
After the pumpkin was completly carved, it looked like this. Isn't it beautiful? Or should I say amazing? Prepare yourself to see a true pumpkin treasure!
This is what it looked like with a candle inside! It is super-dark because the garage lights are OFF, and it is night time.

Thats enough jack-o-lantren time for now.

Bye!

Bug Hunt 2011

I went on my first bug hunt near the Douglas Heart Nature Center. First we went into a small field, where there were lots of bugs and butterflys. I didn't find any pictures of bugs, so I just did pictures of me. We took pictures of bugs and studied them. There where the most of little yellow butterflies with tiny yellow spots on the tips of their wings. I went with some bug experts.
These are the bug experts I went with. The one on the left has discovered a catydid (CAY-ti-DID) on a flower.
The Bug Hunting Group is on the move! We walk away from the small field and come down a hiking trail with a bigger field on the left of it, and forest on the right of it. I see a monarch. From the top to the bottom, it is as big as my water bottle! From across, it is as long as the telephone in mom's office! It looks like a painted lady, only bigger. The monarch butterfly is poisonous, so birds don't want to eat them. The queen butterfly looks like a monarch, so it tricks birds, thinking its a harmful to birds and people monarch butterfly. JOKE: Q: How do you make a butterfly? A: Throw the butter into the air!
And last of all, time to see an amazing, STINKY, place. You are not looking at a squishy moon on the ground, you are looking at a dried-up pond! Dead fish are becoming fossilized, and you should cover your nose!

Bye!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

See me in front of the Little Red Riding Hood Pumpkin Patch display? If you happen to see half a little red dress, thats a Little Red Riding Hood scarecrow! The chair I'm sitting in is avalible for pictures. I'm in the Barnyard, but I like to call it the Pumpkin Yard. The Pumpkin Yard is a new area in the pumpkin patch.
BEWARE: FINGER EATING GOATS! So you better watch out! It's actually a joke, because I don't think the goats really would eat your fingers. HA! Mom says that if we want to know if they really do eat fingers, we should try it.
I'm in the Mama Maze. The walls are made of straw. I was able to find my way out myself this time. I feel like a big girl! I found my way out by following the path of sunshine on the ground and walls.
Funny face and pumpkins! The Pumpkin field maze grows pumpkins. Pumpkins grow on vines, and the vines grow things that feel like a type of weed. What are they? They are pumpkin flowers.
And don't forget to check out this excibit! The Cinderella Make-you-look-like-a-charachter-you-want-to-look-like. See that pretty princess in her coach?

Hope you had a fun day exploring the pumpkin patch with me!

Bye from me,

Noel Chi :)

Sambo the Sheep: Goes with Pumpkin Patch 2011

Sambo the baby sheep is 12 days old. He is so cute, and mom and I mistaked him with a goat! I even got to pet him and feed him milk in a bottle. A nice man told me how to feed Sambo, and this picture is me feeding him. A few minutes later, I saw Sambo again. I felt special when the nice man told me Sambo wouldn't take milk from anyone else. I thought Sambo liked me. There were other sheep in the pumpkin patch, but Sambo was put in a separate pen. He sleeps by himself.  He sleeps by himself because the other sheep won't get along with him.
This is another picture of me and Sambo.
