This week, our five spelling groups learned the different ways to spell the /ow/ sound (thousand vs. coward); they learned thr- and shr- words (thread and shriek...); and they learned the many different vowel + r spellings like search and pearl vs. worth and lurk and nerve. Finally, a couple of intrepid students studied the /oy/ sound (noisy vs. destroy).
Read on and enjoy!

The Quarry - part 2
ReplyDeleteby Ian
The robber walked right down the dainty hallway. He opened one door and flinched. He was astonished by what he saw. Two opponents were demonstrating how to perform things. He walked in, and they were pretending that someone died. They were all grieving. The robber said “I propose we find out how he died.”
“We are just pretending.” They said together. “I resent that,” said the robber. “I have a reputation for my devotion to robbery,” he said. “Want to dig up some scarce diamonds?”
“Yeah,” they said. “There’s actually a surplus of them. They are all organized in there,” the performers said.
“Oh yeah,” the robber said. “I forgot all about them. I envy that you have so many diamonds where you live.”
“Let’s go!” they all said.
The Three Squirming Shrimp
ReplyDeleteby Kassie
Three shrimp
Were sitting
On a square throne.
They were hungry shrimp,
So they squeezed
And shredded a squash.
Yum! shrieked one of the shrimp.
She squirmed with happiness.
There was a dog at the door.
He squinted at the shrimp.
Suddenly, he ran through the door,
And he made a terrible threat!
“I will squash you shrimp!” he squawked.
But the shrimp squirmed, squirted,
And squeezed away.
The Square Shrimp
ReplyDeleteBy Liam
One day there was a square shrimp that could let out a big shriek. & because he was so small he could squish threw a French fry. Then the squared shrimp met a squashed shrimp and he got so angry he shrank & shrunk so small he couldn’t even say tree again so instead he said three instead & everybody started to throw and squeeze his shrimp head & started calling him a little fatty & then the little shrimp thretend all of the big shrimp and all of the big shrimp died & the little shrimp let out a big thrill of happiness.
The end
The Three Shrimp
ReplyDeleteby Olivia
Once there were three shrimp. They all had a square throne. They all squinted and then went SHRIEK. They all went off their thrones and went through a big pile of shreds of wood. They shrank into the pile and they all squirmed and squeaked. They had just squawked! Once just once they all were VERY thrifty. Then they shrunk even more. They had a thrill to squeeze something. They squashed then squished then squirted. They always have a saying that they shrink. It means that they threw a ball horribly. Or they have thrown a ball. They all throw with a threat.

The Orphan with Parallel Toes
ReplyDeleteBy: Megan
Once there was an orphan with parallel toes. He was good at working in quarry’s but not when someone imposes on him. He usually worked for a portion of the day. When he got home his dog exclaimed he wanted a bone!! His dog was equipped with energy and would entertain him. The next day he was walking through the passage of the quarry had the misfortune of tripping and died!

The Paralyzed Confused Intruder
ReplyDeleteBy Julia
One day I was communicating with my friend because we were going to have a sufficient party. We signed a contract that we would have a party everyday for 20 years. We thought this party was going to be very limp but that was good. We had an uneasy feeling that it wouldn’t be limp. We had to wait until the phase of the moon changed then we could have the party. Finally the party started. I felt like we were lacking something. Then it came to me, we were lacking a paralyzed confused intruder! So we got one.

The Roasted Rome
ReplyDeleteBy Paige
Once there was a town called Rome. The leader of Rome was coach Stock. He liked to grow oats. One day Coach Stock decided to have a roast. There would be lots of loafs of bread and oats and a BIG coal fire! He invited people from all over the globe! When everyone showed up, they started the fire. Then everyone froze. The fire was too big everything started catch on fire! By the end of the night, Rome was roasted. I sure wish I could have seen Rome before it got roasted.

ReplyDeleteThe Thousand Years of Bad Juju.
ReplyDeleteBy Mark
Bum Bum Bum!!!
One day in the southern county in the noisy country there was a man who was in big trouble. One night when he was drowsy he went to bed after he had some tea. When he woke up in the middle of the night there was a big cloud of poison moisture that was all around and impossible to avoid. There was a tall figure in the cloud that was double his size. The tall thing approached his bed and said. I am the ghost of sometime future you are a very bad man come with me on a voyage or I will destroy you!!!! No!! Said the man. I am not a coward!! Stop annoying me!! The man was about to run but the tall figure grabbed him and they flew away. Now you think it would be nice to see the man’s future but it’s not pretty. So since you’re loyal to me I will allow you not to see the man’s future. In fact I will announce that you can’t hear it unless you want me to appoint you to be the person who will employ a large amount of people. So after the future the man is in bed and asks the thing. Is this what might be or will be? The thing says. I don’t know the point is you need to change your ways blah blah blah okay. If you don’t then you’ll hear from my agent. No more chit-chat I have twelve more of these to do.
And it was all a dream!! Was not! Was to! We interrupt this program for a special announcement.

The Flexible Ramp
ReplyDeleteBy Ian
One day when I was trying to locate a crafty victim, I saw a burrow. The burrow instantly changed into a flexible ramp. Then the ramp changed into communicating monkeys. Then it altered back into the flexible ramp. The ramp was carrying a bag that said "Benefit Me." it was the weirdest ramp I have ever seen!

My ship By Davis
ReplyDeleteMy ship has a hard core of steel. This ship of mine has a boar at the wheel. Not a horse that marched the land had the nerve to race this ship of mine. A pearl would only be worth a sixth of my ship. Before I had my ship I would search my yard for cool stuff to collect. The worst thing that could happen to my ship would be that a spur would hit the wing of my ship and it would be torn. I get bored talking to sir because snores and snorts and has a hoarse voice. Plus he is not dignified which is the opposite of my ship. I like that I get served jars. I have to do my chores to earn the right to score while I lurk through the bathroom.

The Squawking Bird
ReplyDeleteOne day there was a squawking bird. His name was squeak. He used to shred wood . He shrank one day and looked like a shrimp. He shrieked really loud! He was a threat to the ants on the ground. He went crazy and started to throw bugs. He thought it was a thrill. But he did not like the fact that he was square.
Liam I like your silly spelling story the square shrimp. It was good, nice job
ReplyDeleteDear Mark,
ReplyDeleteI like the story about the tall man and the thousand years of bad Juju

ReplyDeleteJulia,

ReplyDelete88 Days Later
ReplyDeleteBy Bennett
One day I looked in my backyard. I saw a guy lurking in my backyard.
He was very hoarse. Then the police came and said, “hard to catch him wasn’t it.””No,” I said, “I did not catch him.”
“Yes you did king,” the police said. I threw a jar at him. It did not break it tore up itself so I called my horse. He was pearl white and I jumped to the core of the earth.
88 days later
I think it’s a short March. My clothes are all torn up I have a big nerve
down my back. I am so hoarse I am kind of like that guy that the
Police caught. Then that sir came down and he was pearl white.
The end!!!
Jaden,

The Grocery Store
ReplyDeleteOnce I had to go the grocery store. It is very, Very ,VERY hard to go to the grocery store. This is because of these silly silly rules. Here are rules you HAVE to follow to gain entry into the grocery store:
1. Show that you are flexible in school by reciting a 20 page poem with 100 inch pages.
2. Show that you can act like an orphan by intruding in the cottage down the road to get money for a new home.
After you do that they let you in the store. But, to get communication you have to do these silly
1. Go down the road and jump in the window of a house and eat as much as you can because you are famished.
Then, they will let you get communication out of the store and all that stuff. But, when you want to get out, you have to do a scavenger hunt. Except, I don’t even want to tell you the scavenger hunt rules.
BUT, most important, I know a way to get out of all that trouble.
What you do is:
1. Jump in the quarry in the back of the store.
2. Yell HELP!!
After you yell help, the quard will come and help you up and then you say: “Somebody is eating chicken in your house.” Then he will run to his house! It’s a mile away! Then you will have time to get all the stuff out of the store and get back out without any of that stuff.
That is what I did!!
Mark, your story is very funny!!! All of your stories are very funny! That’s why I like them. I liked how you put the Bum Bum Bum at the beginning.Good job! Paige
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good story Jaden. The part where he went crazy and threw a bug is a really good part. Maybe you could try to put expression where it said he shrieked really loud!

ReplyDeleteTHE FRESH FRIED SHRIMP
ReplyDeleteBY Kyle Burbank
Once there was a shrimp. He was at a hot dog stand. He was raw and stinky. So he wanted to be fresh fried. So he went walking around the table. He met a squash. He was 3 years old. The squash was chubby and bald. He had facial hair. The shrimp went to throw a hotdog and it fell on him. He said,“ This stinks I got beat up by one pint of a hotdog!” He got so mad he went to the coke stand and said, “Can I get a shake” the girl said weirdly, “ok”. When he was done the girl said, “Do you want another?”. The shrimp said, “Make it a double”. When he finished the first he saw a frog and squirted the frog and the shrimp fainted. He said, “Wow those cost a lot”. As you see he was very thrifty. So he wanted to do something weird. So he jumped of the Empire state building and that was the end of him.
The end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThe Center of the Giant City
By Erika
One day in the center of the giant city there was a circus that I heard about. So I called on my cell and asked for a ticket. The person that I was on the phone with said “They are all out.” Then he said “but I can show you a different way to get a ticket.” Off of your credit card, you can pay me 2 more cents than the first price. So I said “Is there anything else I can do?” You can get a gentle calf, you can find it and give it ginger bread. And after that, teach it how to golf in a gym. I said “But the gym is in the giants castle and I have to take a giant cart there that is impossible to steer.” So I went to the giants castle , the giant answered the door. He said “Give me your gem, and I will give you the most precious thing you ever desired.” “But I don’t have a gem!” I said. Then you can take the recycling bin to the circle. OK, I guess. When I got there, I go the code to get in. When I got in, a man gave me a ticket and I was the best guest there.
Olivia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your and your classmates silly stories! I wish I had done something like that when I was in school!
Mom
Dear Jaden I like the title and I also like the name of the shrimp Squeak because it sounds funny.
ReplyDeleteDear Kyle I like your story because the shrimp met a squash that was 3 years old and also I think it's very funny.
ReplyDeleteThe Sausage and the Lawyer
ReplyDeleteBy Liam Dillon
There once was a sausage that had a lawyer that had a flying saucer that was an author that made awkward stories that are haunted and awesome. The next day there was a auction so the sausage and the lawyer entered two try to win a ticket to a awful scary rolicoster in New York that was always fun in August. The next day the sausage and the lawyer remembered that they had to do the laundry with lot’s of caution. So they did the laundry and they laughed when they gnawed on some food and water while playing with the faucet turning it on and off. So back to the competition that was held in the autumn with lot’s of people gawking at the basket to see who would get picked so the sausage and the lawyer relaxed in the sun sitting down on some chairs with some sunglasses on, and then it began the person that was picking the names put his hand into the basket and pulled out the name Sausage and a Lawyer so the sausage and the lawyer went to New York and laughed until they got sick from the rolicoster in New York that was going so fast that they almost puked when they were on the rolicoster going so fast .
