Homeschool Kids Write Assignment #5

One day I was playing in my back yard when there was a great noise. After that happened I saw a giant pumpkin. I went in and I saw that there was a family in there. I introduced myself and asked  their  names.  There was the father John and the mother  Sarah and the daughter Grace. Grace and I were the same age and became very good friends. Then they told me that thy could go wherever they wanted in the giant pumpkin.  I asked if we could go to China. They said we could and so we went and I got to see how they made some of the amazing things that they do. And then we went home and they had to go. I asked them to come back soon and they said they would try.

Gonzo

Last night my mom let my brothers my sister and I go outside and play freeze tag. While we were playing Kathryn saw a dog across the street. We went across the street and the dog ran across to the other street so we did to. Then he came up to me and started sniffing me. We saw his collar and had Jordan go get food for him. Mom said he couldn't get food but she told him to write down the numbers on his licenses. There were four Warren numbers and then we finally found his number and his name. His name was Gonzo. Mom called his owner and she came to pick him up.

State Exploration Assignment 6

Maps of Your State
*A Political Map of Your State
* Post a political map of your state
* Each state has its own unique shape. What does your state remind you of
and is there something about it you're fond of?
*The shape is determined by its boundaries. A political map shows the
nations, cities, and states as well as come rivers, lakes, and other
bodies of water. Please list them.

My state is shaped like a mitten.

Bodies of water:

Lake Erie

Lake Huron

Lake Superior

Lake Michigan

Muskegon River

Grand River

A Physical Map of Your State
*A physical map shows the land and water areas of the earth and gives
their names. Post a physical map of your state.

Also, if it's an easy-info assignment (IE state nickname) please try to use books and not just search it on the internet. Write your own words, instead of copying info off a site. I found a bunch of history books and I
will be using them as much as I can to find info. Go look through your bookshelves and pull out any books that will help you with the assignments.

Homeschool Kids Write Assignment #2

August 3, 1492

We have finally set sail on the Santa Maria for the Indies. I am kind of afraid, but now we've started and I can't go back. I wonder if we are going to make it to the Indies. Captain Columbus wants to make it by sailing west the whole way.

September 25, 1492

We have been at sea for a whole month and we are running low on food and water. I am still wondering if we are going to make it to the Indies. I want to be the first one to spot land because Queen Isabella promised a reward to the first sailor to spot land. I am on watch tonight and I see the Captain pacing around on the deck. I wonder what he is thinking. Suddenly I heard a sailor shout "Land!" It turned out too be a false alarm.

October 12, 1492

I was so tired last night and I was on watch. Suddenly I saw a light. It did not look like a star; it looked more like a fire. Very excited I shouted, "Land! Land!" The Captain came and stood beside me. He saw the light too and was sure it was a fire. Early this morning we landed. It was good to feel ground again. It was the first time in three months. We had made it to the Indies.
