My Christmas Story

By: Sakura, Mrs. Kelly's 2nd Grade Class

 

 

 

     One morning, it was raining.  At nighttime, it was thundering and lightening.

     My mom said we could dye our Christmas shirts.

     It was fun.

     The next day it was going to be Christmas.  We were so excited!

     Amber said, "I can't wait to get presents."

     Sakura said, "Christmas isn't about getting presents.  It's about Jesus' birthday."

     "Oh," Amber said, "But still, we do get presents even though it is not all about presents."

     Tonight we will put on the little lights on the Christmas tree.  We watched a Christmas movie before we went to bed.

      Amber started to rewind one of the parts over and over.  I got bored so I went to bed.  I wasn't tired so I looked out the window.

     I saw reindeer!
     I called out to Amber and she came running in.

     "Look," I said, "I see Santa."

     "I see him too," Amber said.  "Bye bye Santa," Amber said.  "That was really cool."

     The next day was Christmas.  We ate breakfast then ran to get our presents.  We all got two presents, but there was one present left.  Whose present was it?  We all opened it.  It was for our dog!  He got a dog toy.

     Santa left a letter.  It said, "I hope your Christmas was merry.  Merry Christmas.  Ho!  Ho!  Ho!  Love Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and the elves.

     It was cool getting a letter from Santa.  That was a cool Christmas.



A Turkey's Point of View

By: Chase, Mrs. Riggs' 2nd Grade Class

 

     Hi, I am Mr. Turkey.  For Thanksgiving, everybody eats turkey and I am a turkey.  I am going to be eaten and cut up.  I do not like to be eaten at all!
     So, for Thanksgiving there is no way I am going to Thanksgiving.
     I have to go to the store on Thanksgiving because I am running out of groceries, so I have to watch out for people so that they do not eat me for Thanksgiving.



A Turkey's Tale

By: Kathleen, Mrs. Riggs' 2nd Grade Class

 

 

 

      Hi, I am Mr. Turkey.  I DO NOT want to be eaten at all!  I do not want to be on the table for dinner. 

     Dinner is my worst fear, so I just wanted to tell you, PLEASE do not eat me.

       I like you but DO NOT do it.

      By the way, can I have some corn bread with a cherry on top?  Well, not a cherry because corn bread and cherries just do not mix.

The Magical Pumpkin

By: Sakura, Mrs. Kelly's 2nd Grade Class

 

     One day, Amber and I got a ticket for the Halloween hay ride!  We had so much fun, but there was something following us.  It was a Zombie.  It was spooky.  We almost screamed.

     Her mom said that we could have a week sleepover.  We said yey!  We thought it would be so much fun!  It was red ribbon week at school too!  We went to school with Halloween hairspray.  We put spiders in our hair.  Fake spiders, of course.

     On Halloween we went to the pumpkin patch and saw bottles.  The colors were called Spooky Orange, Magical Purple, and Magical Pink.  We both loved pink so we picked a pumpkin and they were both the same size. 

     We both put Magical Pink on our pumpkins.  The pumpkins turned pink but there was one spooky problem.  All of the colors were gone. 

     Then we saw a sign.  It said Magical Spooky Decorating.  We decorated our pumpkin.  It looked very pretty.  We loved it.

     When we got home, mom helped us carve our pumpkins.  After we were done at night time, we played outside.  My Mom came out and said that she could stay another week because her mom got hurt and had to go to the doctor. 

Amber said, “I hope my mom is ok.”

I said, “Me too!”

      Her mom had given us her garage number.  We got her Halloween costume.  We then went Trick or Treating. 
     
     All of a sudden our pumpkins started talking in our wheel barrow.  All the pumpkins then started going in the woods.

     We ran after them.  We got lost.  We saw a rabbit with red eyes.  It hopped after us.  It was spooky crazy. 

      Amber and I remembered the story of the kids that were chased by the haunted rabbit and gotten eaten.  They were never seen again.

     We prayed while we ran.  We prayed that we are not going to to be the next kids who were never seen again.

     The rabbit looked for us.  We hurried and climbed to the top of a tree.  The rabbit went to the next tree and sniffed.  We hopped to the other tree.  The rabbit did not see us.

     We were so happy that we were not the next kids never seen again. 

     A family was walking in the woods and woke up the rabbit.

    “Wait,” I whispered to Amber, “He has a weapon.”

    “They are hunting,” we both whispered.

      The rabbit snuck up behind the family.

      The little boy felt something. 

      “Look, a rabbit,” the little boy said.

      His parents looked around.  Then they ran because the rabbit had red eyes.  The rabbit chased after them.  He even hopped. 

      The man tried to get the rabbit.  It was a zombie rabbit.  It kept on hopping.  The zombie rabbit then got the whole family and they all vanished.  We looked back but we couldn’t see anything. 

      We saw street lights.  Zombie’s hate lights so we thought we could sneak back to our house. 

      Amber said, “That’s a great idea, Sakura.

      We climbed down the tree.  We snuck to the street.  We went in the house.

      We told my mom what happened. 

      She said, “Oh, my.”

      My Dad was there.  We told him too.  He said it can be a spooky Halloween night.

      Then something rang the doorbell.  We opened it. 

      There was….. Zombies, ghosts, vampires, skeletons, and the zombie rabbit.  We saw two pink light things and two green light things. 

      The two green things said MOM, DAD.  The pink ones said AMBER and SAKURA.

      We put them on our heart, even mom and dad.  Then all of a sudden we had superpowers.  We destroyed EVERY monster.  Then we had a happy life.
