Holiday Celebration – Anna

The Holidays are my favorite time of year. My family celebrates Christmas.  I just love the smell of cocoa and hearing the Christmas songs in the background as I do my holiday shopping. My dad is friends with a family, the Kanes. We always go to their house for a party on Christmas day. I get a little bored at the party because I am the only kid my age but I still enjoy seeing the people I have known for about seven years.

The food at that party is amazing. They always have salmon, steak and more. The desserts are my favorite. The guests can bring a dessert to the party. It’s so cool trying all of the ones that look good. I can’t wait to see all of the people, eat food and have fun with my friends and family.

I also celebrate Hanukkah. My Mom, Dad and I always light the menorah and give each other gifts. I like celebrating two different holidays because I get to spend more time with my close friends and family. I know the holidays are not about the presents but I really like getting gifts and I think everybody does. I also feel really good when I give gifts to my friends, family and sometimes people who do not have as much. That’s what the holidays are about – family and giving.

One for the Murphys – Anna

Who do you think the heroes in One for the Murphys are so far?  

I think the hero in One For The Murphys is Carley, because when Michael-Eric went to the hospital she helped Adam go to bed and make him feel comfortable. Carley also washed the dishes and set up the Easter Baskets. She is very mean or sassy sometimes but she is really mature in front of Michael Eric and Adam. These are the reasons I believe that Carley is a hero.

Week 3 Town and Country activity 2 by Anna

Town and Country week 3 activity 2 

My name is Anna. I am from The state of New York. The capital of new york is Albany. If you were to go to Albany, NY, I would go to the Capitol building. I don’t know if you can go inside but it is so nice to look at because it is so pretty. It would be so nice to have a picnic there.

Another thing that is so cool is the The State Museum. They have a really cool dinosaur areas that show huge skeletons that blow my mind, and I really like the Native American exhibit. It shows you what they would wear and eat and how they made stuff. When I was younger my favorite part was the carousel, but it is still really fun.

One of the coolest things in Albany is The Egg. The Egg is a really cool building that has concerts, plays, operas and more. I have never been there but I have heard so cool stuff about it. Every time I go by there I take so many pictures.

Summer-By Anna

This summer I went to camp hillcroft. I have been going to camp hillcroft for seven years. I really enjoyed seeing all my friends and going to really fun activities. One of my favorite activities was climb. At climb I went on a huge zip line and it was really scary but really fun. I had alot of fun with my best friends Kayla, Bella and Alexa.

I also went to six flags with my friend Jane and it was fun but we did not get to go on a lot of rides because it was packed. The car ride there was really long but Jane and I managed to entertain ourselves. We got to go on a really big wooden roller coaster called the thunderbolt and it was really fun Because Jane and I freaked out for no reason.

I really enjoyed going to atlantic beach north Carolina. I went with my best friend Mariah and my parents. The car ride was twelve hours and we watched a lot of movies and listened to music. I was very bored and when we got there I was half asleep, it was one in the morning. While we were there we went to a really cool aquarium. At the aquarium I played rock paper scissors with a scuba diver that was cleaning the huge fish tank. We also went to a restaurant called Surf-ari and it was really good I ordered mahi-mahi which is the fish of the island. It was so rich with yummy flavor.

When I went to the Dutchess County Fair I went with my friend Mariah we went on a ride called the zipper. The zipper/cage is an upside down ferris wheel but its a straight line not a circle. When you get to the top you do a really fast, scary flip. While I was there I ran into my friends Sally and Jane.

Scary Story: The Red Hat – By Anna

“May I go to the bathroom?” Gracie Adler asked Mr. Patrick the gym teacher.

“Go ahead,” he told her. When Gracie was finished washing her hands in the dark cold room, she noticed something red in the corner. She skipped over and picked it up. It was a red knitted hat. Gracie was very smart so she ran to the lost and found and put it in the big pile. The next day she found the hat in the other bathroom at the school.  Again she put it in the lost and found. Whoever owns this hat loses it a lot she thought to herself.

Saturday morning Gracie woke up and looked on her dresser and saw the hat. Maybe I’ll wear it she thought. She put the hat on. Suddenly she felt like someone was watching her and almost controlling her. Gracie decided to walk her to friend Courtney’s house. When she got there Cortney was wearing an all new outfit. Gracie got jealous and said, “That outfit is so ugly,” She turned around and stomped out the door. She went home and told her mom she hated Courtney.

Gracie went to take a shower and she took the hat off. Suddenly, she felt herself again and she felt so bad for what she did. She wondered who was trying to make her wear the hat. Then, a girl dressed in all black showed up. “Who are you?” Gracie asked.

“I am the one who bewitched the hat,” the girl said.

All of a sudden, the girl did a spell to make Gracie fall asleep.

In the morning Gracie’s mom went to her room to wake her up. As soon as she walked in the room she fainted. There on the floor was the red hat. On the wall written in blood was, ‘The hat changed me’.

Challenge #1 -Activity # 2 BY Anna

Challenge #1  -Activity # 2

Hi I’m Anna and I’m from the United States of America. I am a level 4 gymnast and my favorite activity in gymnastics is vault because it’s the easiest. I am in sixth grade and I am really enjoying it. My favorite subject is math because I am very neat in that class. My favorite animals are dogs and cats because you see them the most out of any animal and also they’re really cute.

I am really into art and fashion, but I mostly enjoy drawing cool designs. Going to amusement parks and going on scary rides is one of my favorite things. I love having sleepovers with my friends, especially when we try to stay up all night, but we always fall asleep. Some books I have really enjoyed are The Hunger Games (Series), Divergent (Series) and The fault in Our Stars.
