Seventh Grade

This was going to be one of the hardest years to get through in middle school! I just knew it!

When I first arrived in August I expected that I would have a lot more homework than last year and I would meet some new friends that I would sit with at lunch.

I was correct about both. By the first week we were loaded with tons of homework and I was not very happy about that. I knew I would be staying up late to finish my homework. for example I stayed till about 11:30 PM every night doing Spanish worksheets and dreadful science reading notes. Also on the first day I met some really nice girls that I could see hanging out with me and my friends at lunch and I wanted to get to know them. I have gotten to be really good friends with Stephanie and Irma.

By October the new reality had begun and I was ready for school to be over there was to much homework and too many nights of staying up studying for tests and quiz. I just wanted it to be done and over for good. The weekends with fiends kept me fighting through the year.

Sadly I rarely get very much sleep because I have to study for a quiz or test or I am doing the good old homework. When I do get the chance to sleep I enjoy it and let it last as long as it can.

All though this has been a tough year of seventh grade I have learned :
-How to conjugate verbs in Spanish
-What expository writing is in English
-How to manage time better
-Why writing wonderful poetry is something I enjoy doing

Even though I have been dragging my feet out the door everyday to get to school. I have learned lots of thing and met lots of people. We just have a few more weeks and I am ready to get through it.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunts

The door is open
We are off and running
My eyes are wandering
Looking for colorful eggs filled with delicious candy

Creamy chocolate
Fruity jelly beans
Crunchy,carmley twix

Hidden Everywhere
Kids pushing each other out of the way
Baskets filled with candy

Laughing
Smiling
Running
Having the time of your life

Easter Egg Hunts

My inspiration came from the fun family time I have had on Easter Sunday. Running around searching for eggs. This has become a family tradition. We do this every year. It’s a fun way to get the whole family together. We always let the little kids go first. Then after that we count all our eggs to see who has the most. I love doing it and my favorite part is eating the candy afterwards.
In this poem I used some repetition and some description and detail. I wrote about this because I love Easter and all the candy and getting together with family.

Cooking Show

One lazy afternoon on a Saturday my friend Miranda and I decided to make our own cooking show. We gathered up all the ingredients and set up the camera. Three…. Two… One… The camera began to do its magic.

To begin the show we squished the brownie bites with our hands, freshly washed. Then PLOP goes the brownie in to the white creamy milk. Then as we carefully spooned out the big chocolatey chunks of brownie bites, milk began to slowly trickle from the spoon.

The show was a great hit on the TV… it never really aired..
