    • Do you like amusement parks? Well I sure do. To amuse myself I went twice last spring. My most memorable moment was riding on the Caterpillar which is a gigantic rollercoaster high above the ground. When I saw how high the Caterpillar rose into the bright blue sky, I knew it was for me. After waiting in line for thirty minutes I made it to the front where the man measured my height to see if I was tall enough. I gave the man my coins asked for change and jumped on the cart. Tick tick tick the Caterpillar climbed slowly up the tracks. It went so high I could see the parking lot. Boy was I scared. I thought to myself there's no turning back now. People were so scared they screamed as we swiftly zoomed fast fast and faster along the tracks. As quickly as it started the Caterpillar came to a stop. Unfortunately, it was time to pack the car and drive home. That night I dreamt of the wild ride on the Caterpillar. Taking a trip to the amusement park and riding on the Caterpillar was my most memorable moment ever!

The smell of chocolate, smoke, and pine was in the air. There were the sounds of the crackling of the wood on the fire and the crunching of s’mores.

    • Rosa woke up in her room on Saturday morning feeling so excited to meet her friend Marta at the park. She sprang out of bed and ran to the closet to get dressed. Then she quickly ran downstairs for some breakfast so they could leave quickly for the playground, however, as soon as she looked out the window and saw the weather, she became very sad. Rosa was disappointed but decided to ask her father if she could invite Marta over to her house instead of going to the park. Her dad agreed and they called Marta’s mother together to ask if she could come over. 30 minutes later, Marta’s mom dropped her off at Rosa’s house and they spent the afternoon playing hide and seek around the house. Rosa was happy that she could still spend time with her friend, even if they weren’t able to go to the park as planned.

    • Do you like amusement parks? Well I sure do. To amuse myself I went twice last spring. My most memorable moment was riding on the Caterpillar which is a gigantic rollercoaster high above the ground. When I saw how high the Caterpillar rose into the bright blue sky, I knew it was for me. After waiting in line for thirty minutes I made it to the front where the man measured my height to see if I was tall enough. I gave the man my coins asked for change and jumped on the cart. Tick tick tick the Caterpillar climbed slowly up the tracks. It went so high I could see the parking lot. Boy was I scared. I thought to myself there's no turning back now. People were so scared they screamed as we swiftly zoomed fast fast and faster along the tracks. As quickly as it started the Caterpillar came to a stop. Unfortunately, it was time to pack the car and drive home. That night I dreamt of the wild ride on the Caterpillar. Taking a trip to the amusement park and riding on the Caterpillar was my most memorable moment ever!
    • My family and friends were coming to visit for the holiday that occurs every November in the fall. My mom and dad spent all day cooking and cleaning. The food was going to be finished a little after everyone arrived. Everyone was arriving around dusk to celebrate together. Just as everyone arrived, there was heavy rain and lightning. Suddenly everything went dark in the house. When my mom checked the food in the oven, the food had not finished cooking. We got out all of our candles and flashlights then started playing card games as my mom called many restaurants to see if she could order food. We ended up sharing what we were thankful for as we ate pizza together. It was a holiday I will always remember!

    • Throughout the centuries people have explained the rainbow in various ways. Some have accepted it as a miracle without physical explanation. To the Hebrews it was a token that there would be no more universal floods. The Greeks used to imagine that it was a sign from the gods to foretell war or heavy rain. The Norsemen considered the rainbow as a bridge over which the gods passed from earth to their home in the sky. Others have tried to explain the phenomenon physically. Aristotle thought that the rainbow was caused by reflection of the sun's rays by the rain. Since then physicists have found that it is not reflection but refraction by the raindrops which causes the rainbows.

My most memorable moment was riding on the Caterpillar which is a gigantic rollercoaster high above the ground. When I saw how high the Caterpillar rose into the bright blue sky, I knew it was for me. After waiting in line for thirty minutes I made it to the front where the man measured my height to see if I was tall enough. I gave the man my coins asked for change and jumped on the cart. Tick tick tick the Caterpillar climbed slowly up the tracks. It went so high I could see the parking lot. Boy was I scared. I thought to myself there's no turning back now. People were so scared they screamed as we swiftly zoomed fast fast and faster along the tracks. As quickly as it started the Caterpillar came to a stop. Unfortunately, it was time to pack the car and drive home. That night I dreamt of the wild ride on the Caterpillar. Taking a trip to the amusement park and riding on the Caterpillar was my most memorable moment ever!

This was going to be so fun! She loved celebrating with her friends, and was especially excited to celebrate her best friend.

But when Kara got inside, she wasn't even sure which store she wanted to look in first. She ended up buying something she thought would go with a lot of the clothes Jamie liked. Plus, Jamie had only gotten her ears peirced the month before so she would be excited to add to her new collection.

    • Many complicated ideas about the rainbow have been formed. The difference in the rainbow depends considerably upon the size of the drops and the width of the colored band increases as the size of the drops increases. The actual primary rainbow observed is said to be the effect of super imposition of a number of bows. If the red of the second bow falls upon the green of the first the result is to give a bow with an abnormally wide yellow band since red and green light when mixed form yellow. This is a very common type of bow one showing mainly red and yellow with little or no green or blue.

He dresses himself in an ancient black frock coat usually minus several buttons yet he still thinks as swiftly as ever.

There were 7 kinara candles for the 7 Kwanzaa principles. Most celebrations have lighting traditions. For instance, a Hanukkah menorah has 9 candles. I know a few Hanukkah traditions. My grandma makes delicious potato latkes. Do you know the song about the spinning dreidel? I like to learn about different December traditions, but I hope I never see Krampus with his horns. Let’s hope Krampus isn’t real.
    • The first item you’ll need is a saddle. This will allow you to ride the dragon as it flies through the air. Make sure not to forget your helmet. Training your dragon to spit fireballs can be very dangerous, so make sure you have a fire extinguisher nearby. Dragons are very intelligent so training them can be quite easy if the trust is there. They love food. each dragon is different though. They say that a dragons favorite food is the same as the person they’re bonded with. Grab your favorite food item, a helmet, some armor and head out to find your dragon.
    • Finally, be patient and understanding. Remember that your parents are only looking out for you, and that it may take some time for them to come around to your point of view. Be prepared to answer their questions and address their concerns.
    • Take some time to process the loss. It's okay to feel upset or frustrated after a game.
    • Throughout the centuries people have explained the rainbow in various ways. Some have accepted it as a miracle without physical explanation. To the Hebrews it was a token that there would be no more universal floods. The Greeks used to imagine that it was a sign from the gods to foretell war or heavy rain. The Norsemen considered the rainbow as a bridge over which the gods passed from earth to their home in the sky. Others have tried to explain the phenomenon physically. Aristotle thought that the rainbow was caused by reflection of the sun's rays by the rain. Since then physicists have found that it is not reflection but refraction by the raindrops which causes the rainbows.
    • School buses are a common means of transportation for children to and from school. Though riding in a school bus may seem scary to some children, they are actually very safe. School buses are equipped with safety features, such as seat belts, that help keep children safe. In addition, school buses are driven by professional drivers who are trained in safety procedures.
    • There was a faint cool breeze that rustled through the forest. The warmth of the bonfire was felt by the group and the light from the fire, full moon, and the stars provided light. The smell of chocolate, smoke, and pine was in the air. There were the sounds of the crackling of the wood on the fire and the crunching of s’mores. The nights were beginning to get longer, and the leaves were changing to beautiful hues of red, yellow, and orange as they fell. After some time around the bonfire, it was time for the storytelling to occur.
    • Rosa woke up in her room on Saturday morning feeling so excited to meet her friend Marta at the park. She sprang out of bed and ran to the closet to get dressed. Then she quickly ran downstairs for some breakfast so they could leave quickly for the playground, however, as soon as she looked out the window and saw the weather, she became very sad. Rosa was disappointed but decided to ask her father if she could invite Marta over to her house instead of going to the park. Her dad agreed and they called Marta’s mother together to ask if she could come over. 30 minutes later, Marta’s mom dropped her off at Rosa’s house and they spent the afternoon playing hide and seek around the house. Rosa was happy that she could still spend time with her friend, even if they weren’t able to go to the park as planned.
