Here are this week’s stories:
Idlewild Park
Earl “EJ’ Christopher
Uniontown
I liked going on the Wild Mouse. We were so high that the people in line looked like ants. This has been my best summer ever.
The lizard
Chase Bowen
New Salem
One day, I visited Ms. Amy and found a lizard. It was not too big or mean. My lizard was cool. He lived in water and he could live on dry land. I took him on a trip to school. Ms. Kim thought he was was gross, but the boys liked him.
Then, one day, he died. It was sad. And that was a real story.
My friends
Allie Dasko
McClellandtown
I have about a lot of friends. I’ve been friends with Marissa, Gabby and Milacee since kindergarten.
I met Morgan in the second grade, and we’ve been friends ever since. I don’t think that will ever change.
