Have you ever been attacked by a baby chimp at the zoo? No, well if you haven’t this crazy, but true story, will explain what happened to my Aunt Sal on a hot summers July. On July 7,2006 my Aunt Sal took us to the zoo in California, and we were walking by the monkey exhibit and somehow a baby chimp climbed up on a tree with his banana and jumped the fence. We had started walking away by now but before my Aunt Sal even took her first step, the chimp jumped on her head and pounded her with his banana and screamed an ear piercing scream while yanking her hair. Everybody laughed, including me, but some ol’ lady called the zoo keeper to help. (By the way it took three of them.) When we left she probably had 1,000 bumps on her head. Well at least those three zoo keepers have one heck of a story to tell others.

Slippery, Slimy, Moist, (and still jumping alive in my hands), are ways to let you know how awesome I thought holding a fish was, especially in my three-year old hands. Oh wait hold the phone, I think I’m getting too ahead of myself so let me explain what was gong on at the moment. You see I was fishing in the deep Southern mountains of California (right before dawn), with my cousin’s Jessica and Javier, Jr., plus my fun Tio Javier.  We were in our small wooden boat that we had rented for the weekend. I was resting in the back sleeping on a small pillow in the back of the boat but hey don’t say I’m lazy cause it was 5:00 AM and I have to rest sometime right? As I was saying though, while I was sleeping in the back, everybody else was fishing.” GUYS GUYS I GOT ONE I GOT ONE!” I woke up to see what all the ruckus was but before I even toke my first step, a green trout fish flew about 25 feet above air and SPLAT! I had caught the fish! Now that is something I surely won’t forget.

I was about seven now and I was going on a camping trip for the first time in my life. But we weren’t leaving till the sun’s rays faded away, and the moon gleamed up high in the sky.

When we got to our tent, (which was right at the foot of the mountain). “Tia Sal me and Jessica are going to explore up on the mountain!”

“Fine but be back by ten so we can have hamburgers and roast the marshmallows.”

But of course knowing me and Jessica we would probably be jolting up the mountain side, which we were.”GRRR!” Came the sound of the only possible creature around.When we turned the corner of the mountain my guess was right. It was a big mammothed sized mountain lion what seemed to be eating a jack rabbit.

Jessica let out a scream of horror when all of a sudden he glared at us with his fire shooting red eyes. I told her it was cute and if we could take it home. But she yanked me by the arm and we dashed, and boy I mean dashed, down the mountain.

When we got to our tent, we ran to our tent and hid under the blankets (well it was really my  suppose to be brave 16 year old cousin.) In the end I really did think I was the bravest, but I also had a great time.

As I walk down the corridor,everybody scatters. Readers despise me and so the characters. My students say I am beastly but I do not agree. I dress in a brown smock and wear green breeches with a big leather belt. Many say I have big eyes with giant muscles. I am the headmistress for Crunchem Hall. I think there should be an invention to make children disappear. When you meet me you will fear me. Who am I?

Star light, star bright
oh how I miss that special night.
The night you taught me most I know.
I remember how you said that star was shining radiant and bright.
Oh yes, I remember that night.

That night I’ll cherish most of all.
That night I remember like it was yesterday,
the trees dancing in the wind,
the stars playing hide and seek.
Oh how could I ever forget that special night.

May 22 was an exciting day for me. When I arrived at school we took a 5 minute bathroom break, loaded the buses, and then we were off to My heart was pounding, my thoughts grew and grew as goosebumps played tag all over me.

But wait, hold the phone, let me answer that big question you are probably wondering.You see, the 4th Edgemere Elementary were going on a field trip to Carlsbad Caverns, (a bat cave in New Mexico). And today I was one of those 4th graders.

There like a bump on a log, I sat impatiently rocking back and forth excited and nervous.Finally 2 hours passed and we stopped for a lunch break for well about half an hour or so till we then reloaded the buses and once again on the road. “LOOK,LOOK WE’RE HERE!”, a boy from Mrs. Moreno’s class shouted. There I saw it Carlsbad Caverns. When I saw the main entrance I was blown away. In the cave I saw magical wonders. I hope you get to go to see it.

In all grade levels the subjects you learn are mostly math, reading, writing, etcetera, and all of those are okay to learn but besides subjects, I want to thank a very important teacher and that teacher is the one and only Mrs. Hulburt. She has taught me so much since 3rd grade. Like in the beginning of 3rd grade I was reading books like Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, that is until Mrs. Hulburt came along and after that I was reading Harry Potter books. In math she taught me to multiply and divide and now it’s a piece of cake. In writing she gave me good enough advice that I got commended performance. I hope you 3rd graders are thankful to have her as your teacher.

“Mom can you make me some scrambled eggs?” I asked with a grumbling stomach. ”Sure why not”,she said sleepy and grouchy as she did 15 minutes ago when she woke up. As her ”bad attitude” started fading away, my fast talking  gullible giggling four years old brother(who is now five) came in talking fast about the things he learned in school.And that thing was what he learned about eggs and how chicks were inside them when they were hatched. “Oh Pablo shut your big yapper!”  I thought in my mind.At the sound of breaking eggs my brother turned pale.CHICKY DIED! He screamed.”Pablo it’s okay Chicky will be going to chick farm heaven.At that moment he stopped his whining and peace was restored once again.

Summer is a great for time for kids (and adults like my teacher). But it isn’t a great time when someone takes you away or you just wonder off and and get lost. So I recommend when you go somewhere to tell your parent or some adult you are with where you are going and make sure an adult or some one older is with you.

VROOM! If your a race car fan you might want to see Speed Racer. It tells about a boy who loves to race. If you want to see this race car in action, race into theaters May 9 2008.

After a powerful massive tornado hits Greensburg (a town in Kansas) the town decides to go green to help the environment. If you want to help the earth go green to help the environment and your town/city will be a safe place to live.

Well that’s it for this week folks. See you next time. Hope you read and comment.

VROOOOOOOM! are the only sounds you hear my brother make during the play time that he has after school or on the weekends. You see, my brother is a huge fan of monster trucks and plays with them all the time when he gets the chance. One of my greatest memories of this is the time he made a funny looking car figure that was made out of a mattress that I don’t know where it came from. There were sheets hanging down, (and as I have mentioned in all my stories,he had the help of someone but this time he had no help). There were also four crates that held up the mattress and I guess they were to be the wheels for the ”race car.” And last but not least I saw my brother pretending to be driving it with a bycicle helmet on his head. Oh well, I guess I can’t change who he is but I can knock some sense into him.
