Indians, Germans, Chicago, Oh My!

Taylor had to write a short story using her spelling words:
Wednesday, February, Indians, arctic, Chicago and Germans

Here's what she came up with!

One Wednesday, on a blistery day of February, a girl was walking deep, deep, down inside of the Arctic. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Indians popped out! The girl, whose name was Rachel, asked, "Where did you come from?"
The chief said, "We come from Chicago!".
Luckily Rachel studied Indians in school! She held up her right hand for the peace sign. When all of a sudden Germans popped out of the Indian suits! Rachel chatted with the Germans, for she also studied German in school. She then offered to to fly them back home in her airplane.

A Time Mystery Part 2

As Tiffany walked to the basement, she looked around not knowing what she'd find. She felt around in her pocket and she found a flashlight! She shined it around and froze. It was amazing! It looked just like the clock she had found downstairs! But just the moment she finds the clock she saw a sparkle off to the side! And there lay a key! She picked it up and tried to open up the clock and guess what!? It worked! She peeked inside and something magical happened! She was not in the basement anymore! (duh,duh,duh,don)

As she looked around her new world she saw a carriage heading towards her! As she looked harder she realized that Abe Lincoln was driving the carriage!! "Hey", said Abe. "Get out of the street!" Tiffany did not know what to do! She looked down and saw a penny! And then she yelled, "1894!?!". It was then she realized what year it was. She looked up at Abe and said, "Sorry Sir", she took a bow, "I did not see you".
Abe said, "How could you not see the President of the United States?"
"Oh, I um... you see, um."
"Go on", said Abe.
"You see I found a clock that I had never seen before and when I peeked inside I was not in the basement anymore!"
"Well", said Abe, "I've been waiting for you!"

duh,duh,duh,don.

A Time Mystery Part 1


One rainy day in London, a girl named Tiffany was playing in her house when she saw a clock that she had never seen before. When she took a closer look she saw a piece of paper inside. She also saw something written on it but couldn't figure out what it said. She tried opening the latch with her hands but couldn't get it open. Then, a sudden idea came to her! There must be a key!! So she looked an looked until she came to her last spot. Behind the clock. She pushed and pushed until her hand finally she felt something. She pulled it out and guess what? It was a key! She put the key in the lock and grabbed the note. She opened it and read

" Look in the basement, it will help you a lot. Check out the clue to see what you've got!"

Tiffany thought about this. What will happen? Should she go? Is this some kind of trick? But as any brave girl would do she walked slowly down to the basement.

Rain



Cars seem to be crying for Summer
Tree's seem to be begging for heat
Plant's say "oh v'ey!" because they need something to eat!
Rain. Oh, rain. It effects so many things.
Except me, because I get cocoa and marshmellows!

Fall & Snow



Oh! Oh! Oh! did you know that fall is like snow?!
When leaves fall off of tress all at once it's like snow!
So make time to go and play in the snow.
And oh wait, do not go...
I have one more thing about fall and snow...
They both fall to the ground and into a hole!

(p.s. maybe they are cousins!)

Candy

Candy, Candy I like it a lot.
You like Swedish Fish and I like Bubblegum Drops.
Did I mention that I like lollipops?
There is so much candy I just can't decide
which is my favorite and others besides.
