Diary of an Ant

By Katie, Erin, Conor, Austin, and Collin

December 25, we went to see our relatives, bees and wasps, for Christmas. My uncle Jerry gave me 3 pairs of shoes. When we came back to the colony, I only had five shoes! It could be anywhere!

March 2, Today the fire ants were being mean and they took Martha's lunch money. I had to share my lunch with her.

June 5, Today we found my shoe. It was still at my uncle's house. Now I have 6 shoes for 6 legs!

June 22, My friend Martha was sick and I couldn't play with her. So the only thing that I could do was help the colony find and carry food.

August 8, The fire ants got a detention after they tried to take Martha's lunch again. Today I molted for the first time.

 September 16, After 3 months Martha was better, and

also today Martha learned to fly.

THE END

March 4:  I went to McScorpians with Pablo . I got the " Special Worm Smoothie".Pablo got the "McBigWorm".I liked his better,but he wouldn't give me anymore.So I stung him,and we had to rush him to the hospital.

March 18: 

Pablo is still in the hospital. I keep trying to convince everyone it was an accident, but they don't listen.Mom says she's going to ground me from the telesonior in your case , my stinger. 

 March 23: 

Today my whole class went to visit Pablo in the hospital.My second best friend ,Barbara, was in the elevator with me to go up to the 8th floor. But the elevator got jammed. So I came to the rescue and used my powerful pinchers to pry open the door!

 

June 5Today I had a bad day. Grandpa got burned by the sun

in the desert when he was only 25 years old.

October 31 Today my family and I adopted a new grandpa- we are really excited! His name is Ronald Boland. We have already adopted 3 because most grandpas only live to about 25 years.

December 25 Finally we all went to sleep.Everything was over. My twelve years were closed.

says it will grow back soon.

Diary of a Millipede

By: Albert AAndrew CRachel RLeanna K

September 5 I'm nervous about attending Tasmania

University. This is my first day in college. There are more than 160 species of millipedes attending.

November 4I met someone today. His name is

Centipede. We are now best friends. My dad keeps telling me to protect myself

using stink glands. He doesn't trust Centipede.

December 25My whole family got together and ate a huge feast of dead leaves. I got a gift card to the shoe store for

Christmas.

February 4I went shoe shopping today. The store didn't have enough pairs, so I had to go to 2 other stores. No shoe stores have 200 pairs of

shoes.

May 17 I was invited over to Centipede's for

dinner. The only problem is that I am a herbivore and they are having dead bugs.

I pretended that I was sick so I couldn't go. Then, I actually got sick.

July 30I met the longest millipede today.

He was 3.4 cm. long. I was so excited. I asked for his

autograph. It is now hanging on my wall.

and it was very hard because there are over 9,000 different types of

grasshoppers   

Oct 13:

We started raking leaves and we jumped in them and Mr. Hopper yelled at us.He could hear us because grasshoppers have ears.

Feb 6 :
