One weird morning, I woke up in my house… AS A BABY! “WHAT? HOW DID I TURN INTO A BABY! I yelled. WHY AM I IN A CRIB?” I screamed. “Looks like I have to live like this… Or can I be normal…” I wondered. “Ooh, I think I remember where the secret potion is at!” I exclaimed. So I went to the place… AND FOUND IT! “WOO-HOO! NOW I CAN BE NORMAL AGAIN!” I yelled happily. So I used the potion, but I am still a baby. “What? Why am I still a baby?” I wondered. (reads bottle that says, The liquid will take one day to work) “Seriously. Looks like I have to deal with this for now.” – Ali R.

Here I was strolling in the zoo when I passed by the aquarium. There were many different sharks, fishs, turtles, etc. But there was this one thing that caught my eye.. It was a FISH THAT WAS PICKING STUFF UP , (If you didn’t get it the super power is super STRENGTH) The fish was lifting stuff AND THROWING THEM ON PEOPLE! Me as a normie.. RAN! Then I thought in my brain who’s gonna save the zoo. I can’t just leave the zoo in terror or else I’ll be a scaredy cat like everybody else. So I used all the courage that’s inside of me, and ran back to the zoo. When I went back I noticed that the fish had a submarine looking tube on his head with water to be able to breathe. So I took a nail that was on the floor and threw it FAST on the fish’s tube and surprisingly it worked. The tube broke and the fish died from lack of breath ( I know it’s really sad but it had to be done.) – Yunus E.
MY THOUGHTS THURSDAY!
My favorite sport is soccer! It’s also known as futbol.
To begin, I love soccer because when I score a goal for my team I get really excited! As you play soccer your legs will gain muscle, when you keep on kicking the ball. It can improve muscle tone and helps you build communication and teamwork skills. Next, it can help you develop strong friendships with your teammates. You can improve your health and help with decision making.
Secondly, soccer will provide you with valuable connections. Soccer is very athletic and teaches you success through hard work. You can become a good team player and build strength and flexibility. It can increase muscle and bone strength. Soccer improves health in between walking, running, and sprinting.
Thirdly, it can decrease cholesterol, risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Our brains also release a number of chemicals when we workout. It can also improve your memory, sharpen your focus and change your mood. Next, it can reduce the risk of suffering from depression. Your self esteem and your confidence can also get a boost.
Fourthly, you can learn through failure. Also it can build your confidence and nurture your mind. It lowers body fat and increases muscle and bone strength. Playing soccer helps reduce anxiety and teaches coordination. It can also increases brain function
Now, is your favorite sport soccer? I hope it is! – Ezra K.

So I was busy experimenting on some stuff I had here at home. That’s when I heard a knock on the door, I replied,“Who’s there?” They didn’t answer. So I went up to the door and saw… StRaNgEr (StRaNgEr DaNgEr) I was like, “Who are you exactly?” He said, “I’m your Wish Come True.” And i replied confusingly, “Ok…And what do you want for me “Wish Come True.” He replied nicely “I want you to take this ticket.” Sooo, I took the ticket, and looked at it… And as soon as I say, “And Why are you giving me th-” He vanished… It said on the ticket, “Watch Channel 109 at 7:00- 7:30.” And I was like to myself, “Hmmm….
:5 Hours Later: AH, finally. The big moment has come, before I knew it that channel 109 was a lottery channel…
Anyway i kept on watching, Until the winning numbers WERE UP.*Me and the man in the channel say it together* “373829834.” *turns off TV* Well I guess I won the lottery. Some people would absolutely go crazy/nuts and practically destroy their house and go to a state of paralysis if they won the lottery. And you wanna know something… I’M LIKE SOME PEOPLE! *craziness goes on for about 3h 45m 26s 34ms* And if you’re wondering what was the amount of cash I was going to receive, well, Let me say it like this: It was A LOT. So much in fact, That i got to meet ELON MUSK *Me thinking where a reasonable place for mEmEs in this story..?* AHA! *Finds a reasonable place for MeMeS in this story* I SHAKE HANDS WITH THE CEO OF SpaceX. (In fact i fAiNtEd half way through…. Was kinda embarrassing not gonna lie…) SO i asked Elon musk if “we” could watch memes (here are my chances => 99.999 no/ 0.001 yes EDIT:0.0000000000000000000000000001 Yes i would love to ) He Said.. “Yes i would love to” SO me and the billionaire Elon Musk watched memes happily ever after… – Yunus E.

ZAP! I woke up and couldn’t move. My body was shining like a bright star. “What could this be?” I felt like I had a new body. I slowly got up from my bed and looked in the mirror. “Oh my goodness!” I said, “What happened to me?” I feel like I transformed into a superhero. I began to think, what do superheroes do? “Ah!, they help anyone that is in a bad situation!” Then I started to think, “If I have this power to help others I might as well use it!” Suddenly, “crash!” I heard windows break. I ran to my window and looked outside, I saw all the people throwing big rocks at the houses trying to set the houses on fire. There was so much shouting going on. This angered me, “I have to do something about this.” I had to do something and do it fast before anyone got seriously hurt. Since I had the power to do anything I flew out my window and used my superpowers to get everyone’s attention and froze them in their place. I decided to do the right thing so I made a speech. Everyone’s attention was on me. I started to speak loudly, telling everyone “I have a dream! that everyone will stop the hate on eachother, that people’s hearts will turn from black to red. If anyone is angry, talk about it and find a solution to the problem.” I could see everyone’s black hearts turn to red with love. As I unfroze everyone, everyone looked at their actions and felt ashamed and embarrassed. They immediately said they were sorry and offered to fix any damages they did. After that the clouds separated and the sun started to shine on everyone. I could see everyone smile and shout ”hooray!” From that day on everyone was kind and helpful. – Ezra K.
WORDS OF WISDOM WEDNESDAY: “The more than you read, the more things you’ll know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss
This quote really caught my attention. The lesson being taught behind this quote is that people would have more knowledge as they read. Therefore, once they have gained the knowledge they tend to view the world differently. They will have more experience and view life from a different perspective. This quote applies to my own life because the more i read the better understanding I have of what is going on around me.
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
“ Bye mom ’’
“ Bye sweetheart ’’ she replied.
Then I leave my house and take the normal route I take everyday to the school bus stop. But today there was something different on my way to the bus stop, I found an old bottle laying there on the sidewalk. It was very dirty and rusty. I was very curious about what was inside of it. My imagination took control and I couldn’t stop the different scenarios that could happen if I opened it. My curiosity almost led me to miss the bus. Luckily my friend shouted my name to hurry up and without hesitation I grabbed the old, rusty bottle and started running.
( 6 hours later )
* Door opens *
“ Mom i’m home”
* Silence *
“ Mom where are you? ’’
“ I’m in the kitchen ’’
I walk to the kitchen, and can’t stop thinking of the bottle I found.
“How was school today?” my mom asked.
“Like everyday, i have a lot of homework so i’m going to my room” I replied
“Okay good luck” she replied.
As I was going up the stairs I remembered I had that rusty old bottle. So I sat on my bed and opened it. When I opened it it looked like there was a rolled up piece of paper. So I took the paper out and unrolled it to see what message it held. As I was unrolling it I could see letters in caps that spelled out something about my mom. So I hurry up and unroll it to see what it says.
It read…
“SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR MOM!”
But it had no name from who it was from or who it was for. Then I started getting worried. I didn’t know if something bad was really going to happen to MY mom. All of these negative thoughts came to my mind, I couldn’t handle it so I went downstairs to investigate and see if my mom was okay and if something bad has happened to hear lately.
“Are you ok mom, is something hurting you? Are you getting fired from your terrible job? Have you been experiencing something weird lately?’’ I asked, in a very worried voice that she also had noticed.
“ No sweetheart I’m fine! Why are you asking me all these questions? Did something bad happen? Are you okay sweetie” she replied.
“ Yes, i’m ok i’m just worried about you.’’ I replied.
“ What, why? ’’ she asked.
“ Because I found….”
* RINGGG *
“ Hold on sweetheart let me answer the phone’’.
Oh no, i thought to myself what if she is going to be getting bad news right now. I can’t handle my mom being sad or upset. She only deserves happiness. As i was getting lost in my thoughts i hear my mom screaming “ AWWWW ’’
I jump out of my chair and run up to her
“ WHAT’S WRONG ’’ I shouted.
“Oh my god sweetheart I am so sorry for shouting and scaring you but I just got some amazing news I have been hired at the law firm I applied for…..I’m going to be a lawyer.’’
“ What ’’ I shouted. “I am so happy for you mom. And proud of you”.
I go back upstairs to my room and as I was laying there on my bed I remember the note that I found in the rusty old bottle. I sat up and took it in my hand and as I was rereading that line that said “SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR MOM!”, I remembered something my teacher taught me. She said to never think in a negative way about anything, always look for the positive side of things, because there is always an upside to everything. I put the note down and ran back downstairs to my mom and gave her a big hug and said
“I’ve learned a new lesson today mom, to be optimistic and see the positive side of things”.
“Good for you sweetheart and I love you so much” she replied.
“I love you too, mom,” I said.
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
So I was strolling outside on my daily walk and then, “Woah, a bottle?” and then I think to myself, “Man, human kind really hates the earth? How much litter can the earth TAKE!” That’s when I noticed that there was a folded paper inside. I opened the bottle and read the folded paper, it said, “Whoever picks up this paper, make a wish and it will become true!” I thought to myself, “Your kidding what a HOAX I’m not gonna believe a paper!” And from there I continued my daily walk.
TEACHER OF THE DAY
When I was walking to school then I went to my classroom and I saw that my teacher was absent! Then I went to my desk and suddenly on my desk there was paper! It said “YOU are the teacher for the day.” I said “hmmm what should we do today.”I got some plans, so then I headed over to the class phone and called the pizza place for some pizza and chicken wings.
While I was calling the pizza place my friend Hanan, came and asked me. “Hey how are we gonna pay for these? This is gonna be a lot of money!”
And then I was like “hmmm everyone grab a green marker and MAKE FAKE MONEY!!”
After ten minutes the pizza man comes and opens the door and says “Uh where’s your teacher?” I said “oh uh this is supposed to be our lunch time so our teacher goes to the teachers lounge just so you know!”
The pizza man just stares at me weirdly and says “uh ok I guess here’s your pizza and chicken wings, that will be 50 dollars.”
I grab the pizzas, chicken wings and get the fake money “HERE YOU GO AND KEEP THE CHANGE BYE BYE!”
After I close the door and lock it! The pizza man sees the money and yells. “HEY THIS IS FAKE MONEY! Kids these days are always troublemakers.” OH NO NOW MY BOSS IS GONNA FIRE ME!”
Then everyone eats their pizza and chicken wings and they finally say “what a day I wish this was everyday!”
TEACHER OF THE DAY
I leave the bus and take the normal route I take everyday to my classroom at school. But today when I walked in the classroom the teacher was not there. The only people in the classroom were my classmates .I then went to my desk and saw a note.
It read……
YOU are the teacher for the day!
* Kids talking *
As I’m thinking to myself that I am going to be a teacher for the day, my imagination went wild and I couldn’t stop thinking of the different scenarios that could happen if I was the teacher for the whole day.
“ Ok quiet down class”, “I am Ms. M. I’m going be your teacher for the day”.
First things first, did everybody get their lunch cards ready? ”
“ Yes! ” The kids shouted
“Now we need to do the daily five, we are going to be doing one round and that round is going to be read to self, until the timer goes off.”
* Kids talking while getting their books *
* silence *
* 30 minutes later * * Dingg * the timer goes off
“ Amazing job class! You guys did a superb job reading and not talking till the timer went off.”
“ Next thing class, we are going to be doing math.”
As the kids sat down with their math stuff they were stupendous. Until the lunch bell rang and they went off to lunch…
* LUNCH TIME * * After 30 minutes *
After lunch the students came into the class with sad, and gloomy faces. I didn’t know what to do. They seemed really upset.
“Alright students come gather around in a circle, let’s talk about what happened at lunch that made you guys all angry. Ok tell me what happened.”
*student talking* * 1 minute later *
* the class shouting *
“ Ok, STOP! ” I was starting to get anxious
“ Enough, students you and your teacher will solve this problem tomorrow.”
* After a 15 minute break *
“ Students it’s time to do a little bit of social studies and science, so go get your notebooks and have a seat. ’’
* After 1 hour of social studies and science*
“ Alright class, you guys were amazing today. Nobody was written down on the bad side of the list.
* After 3: 36 *
“ Bye Ms. M .” The students shouted “ Bye class “ I replied
