Clouds are beautiful
They’re pearly white I can see
They taste like whipped cream.

Project 3: “Recycle, Reuse, Make Paper”
Title: Recycle, Reuse, Make Paper
Introduction:
Date: May 31 – June 1, 2008
Paper is a very unique thing in our world because we use it every day. The Chinese invented paper a long time ago. Paper can be used in many ways like turning into fortune-tellers and doing origami. You can draw on it, print on it, you can use for a wrapping a present. Paper is used for wrapping food: pizzas, Chinese food take-out, Big Macs, groceries, ice cream cones, candy, cookies. Books are made out of paper, so is your homework.
Question:
Can paper be made from different things and how can recycled paper be turned into other kinds of paper.
Hypothesis:
I think that paper can be recycled in a fun way.

A Lovely Day
As spring comes all the flowers shout with joy “Oh spring is here !”
Wild roses bloom so beautifully while lilacs and fox tail dance.
Daisies hide from the big weeds towering above them.
Palm trees show off their big coconuts. Daffodils go home in their yellow gowns at dawn .
A snail goes home leaving a track of silver behind it.
Sparrows fly to their nest as the first light dawn appears.
Snow Today – A Poem
Today is the day that snow falls down.
And Snowmen are alive.
And books flutter.
When Santa Claus comes we are asleep.
And Christmas comes too tonight.
Today is the day when snow falls down once more.

Walking In The Woods
My friends and I were walking in the woods on an island with Floppy, my pet rabbit. We had to get home so we ran. But we heard a crunch from our feet! We saw a great tree! This is where we live in a tree house. We had not seen our house in days. But now it was night and the moon was like gold in the sky. then I heard some ghost screeching in the moonlight of the dark, dark night. Before us was the great tree that looked like silver velvet. Then we heard another ghost, but this ghost was howling. Soon the woods would be very foggy and misty. The great tree had gnarled twigs. Then a dark shadow loomed over us. We did not know what to do, so we went into the house.
My friends Maya and Meshi were very afraid. The floorboards were almost broken. A creaky staircase went up and up and up. I told my friends to follow me up the creaky, old staircase. We saw a very old door and went inside the room. This is where the trouble began. We saw a witch coming near us, then saw a monster! The monster suddenly disappeared. I thought the monster was a mummy! The witch came closer to us and we tried to get out, but we got lost in the maze of rooms! I looked at Floppy and asked: “Do you have a magic crystal ball?” Floppy said: “Yes,” by jumping up and down two times. My friends Maya and Meshi said at the same time “Let’s go home!”
Then the witch suddenly turned the house into a giant monster. My pet rabbit, Floppy, quickly jumped on the mean witch 100 times. As quickly as Floppy jumped, the witch died saying, “I’ll get you if it’s the last thing I do, do, do!” Then I guided my friends and I out of the house. The monster house turned back into a spooky house. We quickly ran away from the spooky house and ran as fast as we could to home. Then we had supper at home. We told my parents what happened. I said “Goodbye” to my friends and they went home to go to bed in their houses. Then I went to bed safe and sound.
