Swapomti

Hi Kalpana, Thanks for teaching the kids during summer.

Welcome to the summer reading and writing wiki! Please write a page a day and post it in your page. We will discuss the prompts in class tomorrow. []

=**Shades of Silence**= =**Family Silences**= Silences can be happy, sad or angry, but mostly they are angry. I have them all the time. One day I couldn't control myself, but I had it for a whole day. I woke up very excited one morning because I was going to move to a #|new house, but I was disappointed because I would have to leave the people I knew and leave my elementary #|school. We packed and set off, on our new journey. When we got to the house we were really excited. Two hours passed and I got tired of the house. Then I went up to my parents and asked if I could play with someone outside, but they insisted I stay in the house. Then I got so sad I would have cried oceans out of my eyes, but instead I decided not to cry and ask my sister to play with me. I asked her and she said to ask someone else. Then I went to play with my toys so I would feel better, but it didn't work. Then I decided to try to think positive, but it didn't work. I started to think about the problem. Then I suddenly realized, my family did this to me. So the rest of the day, I decided to not talk to my mom. My mom was sad that I was not talking to her, but then my dad came home. I ran to my room and hid under the covers on my #|bed. I waited and waited, but nothing was making a noise. Then..........BANG! My #|bedroom door opened. I peeked from under the covers and I saw my dad next to my bed. The next thing I knew, I was rolling around on the bed laughing because he was tickling me! When he stopped, he embraced me and said, "Laughter is the best medicine for angry family silences". I laughed and told him about my day. Then we both walked out of the room, said good night and went to bed. (done.)

=**Halley's Comet**= =**FIFTY YEARS IN THE FUTURE**= I looked through my telescope. I zoom past the stars and past the Milky Way. "Hmmm......,"I say,"very interesting." "Swapomti!" Nyssa yelled. "Yes?" I replied back loudly. "We have finally finished the space craft you wanted and the crew is waiting in the lobby," she answers back. "Good!", I reply",We are going into the Milky Way! "We immediately packed, got ready for our journey and set off. I was so excited to finally go past space and into the Milky Way with my crew Nyssa, Jenna, Radhika, Arushi, J.V., Tyler, Tom, Jeniffer, Krisha, and Eria. With in an hour or two we passed the Milky Way."Wow!"we all exclaimed, as we saw the beauty of the vast, incredible and astonishing view. There were millions of Milky Ways to explore! "Just as I suspected", I said. We toured each solar system in the Milky Way and in each solar system only one planet supported life such as earth. We took pictures and souvenirs on each planet to show the scientists. When we arrived back from our journey we told everyone about our adventures and in return they put the #|statues of us in the capital of the United States of America and in City Hall. After the journey, commotion and everything else we all took one long look at the souvenirs and pictures for the last time and went home. (**done.)**

=**A Winning Team**=


 * Soccer Spirit**

== Digging up the past
 * In an old run-down apartment there lived two girls, "Martha" and "Minnie". Martha had black long silky hair, was skinny and tall. Minnie was short wore braided pigtales and has a mix of brown, black, crurly, wavey and long hair. Martha and Minnie were sisters and they loved nature. Martha is 15 and her sister Minnie is 5. Martha and Minnie's parents died, but their parents were rich so Martha and Minnie didn't starve. Martha seemd very smart to Minnie and they both played soccer, but scince Minnie was very small the twins that also go tho soccer that were older than her bullied her. Their names were "Casy" and "Macy". Casy and Macy wore little skirts, bows and a little bow aroud their waist. Wher Casy and Macy bullied Minnie, Martha would stand up for Minnie. One day Coach Spare was teaching them how to kick really fast, but then Casy and Macy said to Minnie ", we'ill never win the game with you because you can't kick a fast ball with your tiny foot!" Everyone laughed at her. Casy and Macy said more mean mean things to Minnie and everyone continued laughing. Coach tried to stop Casy and Macy, but they wouldn't. Then Coach gave up and quit. The next day a fight happen and nobody would get along. The next day a new coach came. She was a old tall pretty women. When the day she came everyone got along fine except for Casy and Macy. They still bullied everyone, but one day Coach spirit had a talk with them. From that day on the changed forever. In that competition, they won and Minnie kicked the most fast balls on the team.**

Mayan Temple

We were on a mission to find the lost temple of the Mayan people because legend has it that they were making something big that they didn't want anyone to find out about, but a flash flood came and wiped out their race. My team Nyssa, Jenna, Radhika, Arushi and I were at their campsite's ruins. We were puzzled by the ruins because we couldn't find anything, but luckily, I had stumbled over a pot and when it fell over a big map rolled out. We looked at the map and i lead to the Mayan temple, but the only thing was, between us had bridge, and it was probably thousands of years old! We got to the bridge and i was right. Jenna threw as small rock at the bridge and every wood piece that the rock touched fell into the river. We didn't know what to do so then Jenna got an idea! She climbed up a tree and tied one end of her zip line to the tree. Then she lassoed the other end of the line to a tree across the river. She made sure it was tight and then she zipped across. One by one we all zipped across. "Thanks Jenna!" I said, "You're welcome", she said. Then we went to the Mayan Temple and while we were in it, Nyssa step on a trap and now we are running for our lives from a big boulder. Then I got an idea, I took out a pik ax and I ran to the boulder and it crumbled. We ran back into the temple and the we found it, but the were the blue prints of a machine. We copied the hieroglyphs and escaped the temple we had completed the mission and the had brought the Mayan's people plans so the scientists can work on them. They became famous and rich and now you may also see the Mayan temple someday too. The End.
