Movingby Troy L.

When I first moved here, I was sad

about leaving my friends. I did not want

to come out of my room. What if no one

liked me?

Then one day there was a knock at the

door. A boy in a bathing suit was standing

there. He asked if I liked to swim. His

family had just gotten a pool. His name

was Marcus.

After that day, Marcus and I

became friends. He helped me make

other friends, too.

Dear Editor,

We should all use less electricity. Making

electricity heats up the air around the earth.

This causes global warming. Global warming

changes our weather. It also changes where

plants will grow.

I think we can change this. We can

shut off our lights and TV when we are

not using them. I believe we can make a

difference by using less electricity. Please

use less.

Boats and planes are kinds of

transportation, but they are different.

A boat takes you across water. Even

though a boat is big and heavy, it goes

light up and down.

A plane is also big and heavy. It takes

you high in the air. It has wings to help it

move threw the sky. You can look out the

window and see clouds.

Boats and planes both take you to

On the Road to Schoolby Brandon T.

I take the bus to school but my big

brother rides his bike. A bus and a bike are

not the same.

Many people ride in a bus. A bus driver

lets you on and drives you to school. The

bus engine and the big, rubber wheels get

you there fast. A bike has thinly wheels.

Only one person rides a bike. Even if you

are real speedy, you cannot go as fast as a

bus. There is no engine.

A bus and a bike both get you to

school, but different.

On the Road to Schoolby Brandon T.

There are many ways to get to school.

I take the bus and my big brother rides his

bike. These are very different.

A bus can take many people at once.

It has a powerful engine and big wheels.

A bus driver lets you on and drives you to

school quickly.

A bike is made for one person. It has

thin wheels. The rider pedals to make it go.

Even if you are really speedy on a bike, you

will not be as fast as a bus.

Both a bus and a bike will get you

where you need to go, but the ride is not

the same.

New Tap Talent on Broadwayby Simone Hunter

June 8, 1955—Last night a new dancer

performed at the Grand Theater in Times

Square, New York City. Karina Mostow is

the newest member of the “Steppin’ Out”

tap-dance group. Ms. Mostow’s dancing

was marvelous. Her feet flew across the

stage during the fast numbers. She excelled

in all the dances when she had to tap out

complicated rhythms with her feet. Do not

miss Ms. Mostow and the other members

of “Steppin’ Out” in their excellent show

at the Grand Theater.

Saturday was a very long day! I woke up

early in the morning to go to soccer practice.

Next, I went to the library to get some

books for school. After the library, my mom

took me to the supermarket to help with the

grocery shopping. At the end of the day, we

stopped by my dad’s business to say hello.

The last thing I did on Saturday was say

goodnight to my parents. It had been a long

and busy day.

WRITING PROMPT: Think about what you did

yesterday. Write a paragraph that tells about

your day. Describe what you did in a logical

sequence.
