“Ugh! The Reading TAKS! I hate it!” I thought to myself the day before the TAKS. I don’t like reading passages, they’re hard. Every time I look at the words in the passage, I start asking myself, “Where do I start? Where do I go? What does all this mumble jumble mean? Help Me!” I always think I’m going to do bad. Don’t you? I mean I always think I’m going to do bad after trying to answer questions about organization and the summary of the paragraph. Do you agree with me?

2+2=4  5-2=3 Do you know what these mean? MATH!I love math!Do you?

Have you ever surprised your self? I have,like  in  3rd  grade , I thought I would do bad on the TAKS test but I did awesome. Have you ever surprised yourself?

One bursting hot summer day, my dad set up Mikey’s (my brother) and my enormous water slide. I could smell the water as it sprinkled a sparkly clear liquid. I put my bathing suit on and ran as fast as a lion to get over there.

When I got there, Mikey was was already there having a grand old time. I climbed up the ladder to the slide and slid down. Then Mikey jumped up and landed SMACK! on his bottom then slid down. It looked like he had a lot of fun and why I copied him I don’t know but I was in second grade so cut me some slack. Up! Up! And Away! as I jumped into the air.

SPLAT! YEOW! It felt like I broke all the bones in my body. “Mikey, get mom,” I groaned. As you can see I was in a lot of pain.It felt like the pain was flying up then it would slide back down.

I thought I was in hot water as I saw my mom running as fast as her big belly (she was pregnant) would let her. She called everyone we knew (and I mean everyone) and she also called 9-1-1. the EMS workers rushed over here. I felt kind of silly because they wrapped me in a million towels and put me on a board, plus they were tickling my toes and asking me if I felt it. After a few more questions they put me in the emergency trucks and raced me to the hospital.

When we got there I forgot the doctors name but here we go with the questions again. “Can you feel this? Can you feel that?” Then they took some x-rays. I had to wear a heavy suit. A couple hours later the doctor said it was okay to go home.

That’s all I remember now but every time my dad sets up the slide I make sure I’m extra careful when I slide down.

Guess what? The writing TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) is coming up! I know some kids wish there was not one, but I love to write. Do you like to write or can’t wait for the writing TAKS?
