Math Battle

I always liked math class it was always fun and it came so easily to me.  But now we’re in 7th grade and we changed into a program called Aleks which is all independent and digital learning.  At first I thought it was the best idea but now it’s plain out boring.  Working on topics, not knowing how to do any of them, and no teacher assistance.  Math class in like a torture chamber now.  I wish we could go back to regular class.

Favorite Place

Author's Note: This is a piece about what place I would go in the world.

If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go, the Bahamas or maybe China.  For me I really want to go to Africa.  I want to go to Africa because there are so many cool animals you can see.  Plus, I would like to see how all of the Africans live.  I watched a TV show where they went to Africa and it was like a picture from a pop up book.  It would be so fun  to go to Africa.

Delicious Food

 Author's Note: This is a short story about my favorite restaurant. 

When someone asks “what’s your favorite restaurant” what do you say about it.  Do you say I like the hot juicy turkey or the cold jiggly jello.  For me I love the restaurant titled Dennys.  I love the warm buttermilk pancakes and the hot juicy cheeseburgers.  The food tastes as good as a thanksgiving dinner.  Just feeling to food makes me drool as much as my dog on a summer day.   Every time I go I get something new, there are so many choices.  Denny’s is a fun place with quality food for the whole family.

Dinosaurs

Author's Note: This is a small piece about what kind of life the dinosaurs lived years ago.
 
Dinosaurs are the most magnificent creatures of the past.  Roaming the earth far before we even thought of  existing.  Feeding on leaves, drinking the mucky water, and sleeping in caves.  Oh what a life the dinosaurs lived so simple but yet far more complicated than ours.  They never knew what their life would be like; they could be the king of the land killing everything that went in their path and live for decades.  Or they could be the prey of the land and get eaten within a few hours of their birth.  The life of a dinosaur is not a stable life, but it twas a life they had to live.
