Vera's Learning

I had a amazing dream that I went to the Amazon River.It was 96°degrees there. The sun was shining on my face.  There were frogs, lizards, and don’t get me started on the snakes.  I saw some rocks so I decided to jump off the rocks into the water 6 times. The sun had a face and was smiling at me and that made me smile. There were cumulous clouds as i was drying off . I went to discover animals and nature.

I discovered a secret passage through my mirror. When I got through it i saw a rainbow with all 7 colors. The portal brought me to the beach in Hawaii with sand that was hot under my feet. There was pretty turquoise colored water. I jumped in the water and saw many colorful sunfish. I went out a little deeper where the coral reef was and I saw some jelly fish and lion fish and sea urchins. Among the sea urchins there was a king and queen that were massive. I knew that if I stepped on one that I would be in a lot of pain and have gushing blood.

It was getting hot and I was starting to get hungry and thirsty so I knew I had to go back. The portal wasn’t in the same spot as when I had come through. I looked all over and realized it was in a surf shop on the beach. When I got to the surf shop, a guy stopped me and asked what I was doing in there. I told him I was going through a portal, and he was confused. I ran past him and went to a surf board that I found on the wall, I said the password “1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1” and I hopped in lickedty split. The portal was the same as before but with way more rainbows. When I got back I landed in my chicken coop. I was dizzy and happy to be home.

It was a beautiful day. My brother and I decided we wanted to kayak on the lake. We hopped in our kayaks and headed north. We looked up and saw clouds.  They were big puffy storm clouds. We looked at each other in shock . We were afraid that a storm was coming.

”Hey Brian! Do you think we will have to turn around, ” asked Vera.

”’ Yes, I’m afraid so,” Brian said.

“Ok.”

As we got back to our cabin we had a picnic with our family inside .  I looked up at the sky I saw stratocumulus clouds.  Stratocumulus clouds are rain clouds spreading across the sky. Soon the rain drops started.

This started from hot air in the sky and cold air coming up the clouds were getting bigger as we talked.

Before we knew it, it started to thunder. We started seeing lightning, hearing thunder, and we even saw a bit of hail. We were glad we were inside because thunderstorms can be dangerous, especially if you are in the water.

As the storm went on, the power went out. Then I looked outside and a tree fell down. The tree was tall, ruined, and brown. Branches on the tree had broken and made a loud noise like “creek, creek, creek.” The tree fell on our chairs outside. This was one big thunderstorm.

This brought me back to the memory of February 6 when a big blizzard happened. We had to stay inside and it was impossible to see. The blizzard started from small snow flakes that turned into lots of snow. Before the blizzard started I saw altocumulus clouds. They were thick, blue, grey, blanket like clouds made of ice and water. I knew that snow was likely coming with these clouds.

The blizzard lasted 24 hours and brought 4-5 ft of snow. There was a lot of wind,  it blew 35 miles per hour and took down 16 trees in our yard. When the blizzard was over, I built a big snowman and had a snowball fight with Thor. I shoveled the pathway with my dad and brother. WHAT A STORM!

The more I thought about it, I have been in a bunch of big storms. One of them that I remembered was a tornado that happened in Florida. We were visiting some family. The storm happened on a Wednesday Feb 24. We were at the beach when we felt this big breeze of wind. The sky started to turn grey, we knew we had to get off the beach. We looked across the ocean and saw a big grey swirl of wind getting bigger and bigger and bigger. It hit the beach and started picking up all kinds of things. It started picking up beach chairs, towels, sand, and cars.

We ran back to the beach house that we rented and closed the windows, locked the doors, and hid under tables while the storm passed. After 2 hours we came out and everything outside was destroyed. Everything had been picked up and there was stuff all over the beach. We ran over to the beach and picked up trash and anything we could find.

The storm outside our cabin started to slow down. The big clouds started to go away and the lightning and thunder stopped. The rain was still coming down slowly, just a few drops. My brother and I were happy because we could go back to kayaking soon. I like to be able to experience all these cool types of weathers that happen.

As the we got back on the lake me and my brother saw cumulous clouds forming we were happy .As we got further into the lake the clouds were moving like butterflies in the air. We were very happy to see the sun out again.

Daisy and Dexter delivers delicious donuts to there neighbors who were dying for donuts.

I like my eyes and my toes, even inside my nose.

I’m me and I’m supposed to be.

There’s no one else I’d rather be.

I like me inside and out of me.

I like me because I’m healthy.  And that’s what I’m proud of.

No one can stop me because Im proud of me.

Soccer, running, I’m smart too and I dance and sing.

I could go on.

How about you?

Here is my bucket list:

Elisabeth is smart because she loves words and can figure out mysteries. She did a word challenge with Freddy at lunch.

Elisabeth is curious because she loved mysteries and always tried to figure by going to the library. She stole a book called “Child’s Play” because she was curious about the library

Elisabeth is brave because she said “Gracella” 3 times in the hall near the library and was not scared. Gracella was a family member of Nora Bridges, the legend is if you said her name 3 times she comes back to life. Freddy was scared.

I love our Chickens. There are some chickens that lay blue eggs and some just lay  light brown. my favorite is blue. she lays blue eggs and she lets me pick her up. Let me tell you something there are some chickens called the peckers  they peck other chickens . but   there are also chickens that are very nice and don’t peck others .

Pros-He would be fun to be around because he would make funny pictures and make us laugh. He would be nice and he would help us take care of the animals in our class. He would be nice to have in our family because he would play with our animals and give them a lot of time.

Cons-He would mess up everything. When we line up in class, he would cut people in the hall. He would be a distraction and make learning hard. He would leave the caps open on the markers and they would dry out.

“Good bird to be around” traits- I am nice, helpful, and responsible
