The Rainbow Fish
By Evan
Once there was a rainbow fish who looked beautiful and he didn't have a friend. He asked a crab to be his friend. The crab said no because he had a shell.
Next, he asked a blowfish and the blowfish said, "No, because I am a blowfish."
Then a shark came along. He asked the shark and the shark said, "Yes!" |
The Rainbow Fish
By Justin
Once there was a rainbow fish who had blue scales. One day he went looking for a friend. First, he asked the rockfish. He said, "No, because I have camouflage and you don't have camouflage."
Next, he asked a shark but he said no because he had sharp teeth.
Then he asked a baracuda. He said, "No, because you are small."
Finally, he asked the squid. He said, "Yes!" |
The Rainbow Fish
By Christopher
Once there was a rainbow fish who looked like a diamond. One day he went looking for a friend, a cool friend. First he went to the blowfish. "Blowfish, will you be my friend?" said the rainbow fish.
"I can't be your friend," said the blowfish. "I can puff out and scare sharks and you can't do that."
Next, he went to the octopus. "Octopus, will you be my friend?" said the rainbow fish.
"I can't because I have eight tentacles and you don't," said octopus.
Then he went to the jellyfish. "Jellyfish, will you be my friend?" said the rainbow fish.
"No," she said.
"Why not?" said rainbow fish.
"I already have a friend," said the jellyfish.
Finally, he went to the swordfish. "Swordfish, will you be my friend?"
"Yes," said the swordfish. Yeah! |
The Rainbow Fish
By Sarah
Once there was a rainbow fish who had green eyes. His scales were purple and sparkly and she wanted a friend. So she swam a little bit. First she saw a crab and said, "Can I be your friend?"
"No, I have too many friends," she said. So the fish swam some more.
Next she found a shark and she said to the shark, "Can I be your friend?"
"No, I have sharp teeth and you don't."
Then she swam and swam and she found an octopus and she said, "Can I be your friend?"
"No, I have eight legs and you don't."
Finally she found a sea star and said, "Can I please, please be your friend?"
"Yes, you can. I have been trying to look for a friend too. So you can be my friend." |

Once there was a rianbow fish. It looked beautiful. It had pink and green and blue scales. One day he went looking for a friend. First he went to a shark. He said, "Shark, will you be my friend?"
"No," said the shark, "because your teeth are not sharp." She went away.
Next, he went to the sea star. He said, "Sea star, will you be my friend?"
"No, because I have five arms and you don't." And he went away.
So he went to the blowfish. He said, "Blowfish, will you be my friend?"
"No," said the blowfish. "I have pointy stuff and you don't."
Then the rainbow fish cried and cried. No one will be my friend. Finally he went to the bluefish and said, "Will you be my friend?"
The fish said, "Yes, I will be your friend." They played in the water and they had fun.

The Gingerbread House
By: Giulio
Hurray a snow day! My mom said we could make a gingerbread house.
First, I helped my mom roll the dough.
Next, we put it in the oven. She set the timer for 11 minutes. I couldn’t wait! It smelled so good!
Then, we took it out and we put up the walls to the house. We also put on a roof.
I used lots of frosting to make the walls and roof stick together.
Finally, I added candy. My favorite candies were the
M & M’s and the Twizzlers.
It felt great to make my very our gingerbread house! |
Gingerbread Cookies
By: Erin
Hurray a snow day! My mom said we could make some gingerbread cookies.
First, mom and I made the dough. I spilled salt everywhere!
Next, mom helped me roll the dough. I used a little girl cookie cutter. They looked so good.
Then, mom put the cookies in the oven. She put the timer on for 16 minutes.
Finally, the timer went off. I got the frosting out. I frosted one at a time.
Then, I put the sprinkles on. They looked so good. I asked if I could have a cookie. Mom said yes.
When I think back to that day, I wish I had some leftovers! |
The Gingerbread House
By: Christopher
Hurray a snow day! My mom said we could make a gingerbread house.
First, we made the dough. I spilled flour everywhere. The kitchen was as white as a cloud.
Next, mom set the timer for 1 minute. It smelled so delicious!
Then, we used chocolate frosting to keep the walls of the house up. I covered the whole house with frosting.
Finally, we used red gum drops for the roof and Twizzlers for the door.
When I think back to that day I wish I had some leftovers. |
The Gingerbread House
By: Margaret
Hurray a snow day! My mom said we could make a gingerbread house.
First, my dad and I got some graham crackers. One fell on the floor and my dog ate it. My dad got the frosting. We used this to make the crackers stick together.
Next my dad got out the candy. I used red-hots for the stones. While I was decorating I got some frosting on my finger. It tasted yummy!
Then my sister said, “Can I help?” We said, “Yes!” We decorated some more. We used green gumdrops for the bushes. It was so exciting. We had so much fun!
Finally, my mom got home from the store. When she walked in we yelled “Surprise!” She couldn’t believe what we made!
When I think back to that day, I wish that everyday was a holiday! |
Gingerbread Cookies
By: Olivia
Hurray a snow day! My mom said we could make some gingerbread cookies.
First, we made the dough. My mom helped me to not spill anything on the floor.
Next, we rolled the dough. We used a cookie cutter to make shapes.
Then, we put the shapes in the oven. Mom set the timer for 25 minutes.
Finally, the timer went off. The cookies were done. The whole family ate them.
When I think back to that day, I wish I could taste them again. |
