Slice of life has been such an opportunity for me. I have not been able to share my writing this year because of covid-19. I have learned so many new writing techniques from Reading other people's slices and writing. Some of my favorite slices were... The Jump Cracked TV HOME And so much more. I love writing and I think I got so much better.  I am so exited to do it all again next year!!!

  Packing for school may not seem like a hard job and I guess it isn't but let me take you through it. The day before school I need to pack my lunch. I do not usually get hot lunch so we need to pack our own lunch. We usually have the same things every day.   My mom packs my lunch and she asks, ¨ What do you guys want for lunch?¨ ¨ Bagel!¨ I would usually say. Sometimes I would pick a ham sandwich but not too often. A few times I would pick leftover pizza. The next thing we have to do is pack our snack bags. Some people use lunch bags but  I have a separate bag just for snack.   I pack my own snack.  We have to have a fruit and a snack so for the snack I like to pick Z-Bars, Skinny popcorn, and sometimes Girl scout cookies [ If we have them. ] Others are corn puffs or what me and my sisters like to call purple bag. For a fruit I like to pick apples, apple sauce, and grapes. They are so yummy!!!   ¨ What did you pack for snack?¨ We are always honest and we tell her.  Then the day of

  It was a day mostly like any other day but it was earth day! A few days earlier we had found out we were doing a challenge to make something useful out of a box.  Me and Poppy went downstairs to work. We first had to plan what it would look like an so we came up with a cool idea for a table for dogs to eat from. We used the fold-out box to make the stand but then we realized that we only had 2 legs and we needed 4. We went searching in the basement.  We went first into the wrapping paper room and looked to see if any roles were almost empty. All of them were full of paper and Mimi said we can't waist any paper.  So we went into a walk in closet with cardboard boxes in them. There are no things that can make legs like toilet paper roles or anything like that.  The last place we went was a big room with a lot of tools. We saw boxes and then we saw 2 Styrofoam blocks. And we took them out. They were a strong material so they would be great!!! Then we had to staple in the flaps so th

  Spring Spring is the time that the flowers bloom,  when you can go outside and get some room, It rains a ton in the spring, maybe so much that you will loose something. Spring is the time you hear the birds sing, And all this happens in the spring, There is a lot of mud, but it is not my mom´s best bud. Spring is the time we get a few breaks, kids will do whatever it takes, to keep the spring break going, And the wind is hardly blowing. Playing outside or wearing no coats, I wish it was not Adi´s birthday so we get no goats!!! It is Rose´s birthday too, and she has no clue! It is not Summer, nor Winter or Fall, But it is great over all, We love Spring on and on, Where we play and play, until dawn!!!

  Me my sister and my mom were at Target. I had came earlier and we came again to look for cloths for picture day.  We walked to the kids cloths. We obviously went to the girls rack of dresses.  ¨ Where is the romper you wanted?¨ She asked me. I pointed to the rack of rompers and pulled out the size medium flower romper. It was a purple with white and orange flowers on it. She asked me if it was a medium and I said yes. We put it in the cart and kept walking. We went to a rack of dresses that Adi might like. There were a lot of cool dresses. There were flower dresses and my sister picked a bluish gray dress with white and other colored flowers.  Then we went to look at shoes and I grabbed the shoes I saw with Mimi and put them on. I did not like them so we did not buy them. We kept looking. We found a few threes of other shoes because I am size 3. We also found pink sneakers that were size 4. They were a little too big but I held onto them because they were not that big.  We ended up g

  As I said in part one there is a tree in my back yard that is handing from a vine. Here is the story of how we got it down. ¨ There is Pop!¨ My sister screamed. There he was with a big rope. And he was pulling down the big branch.  Dad came outside to help. I saw them talking. Soon after dad was throwing a weighted ball up the tree. Pop went first actually and when it did not go up dad had a go.  He made it in one shot!!! ¨ Can I video on your phone? ¨ I asked mom.  She gave me her phone and I saw pop pulling, and pulling, and pulling. It was not coming down. Then dad tried. Nothing. I was still videoing in the hot sun. They kept swinging and swinging. I gave mom her phone back because I was not getting anything good. Then they tried wrapping it around the tree and pulling. It was no different. Then when they took a break, I started to swing and pull on the rope. It was so much fun, well so much fun until mom told me to stop. Then they went next to the tree and swag and it was fallin

  They day started off great. We had walked to my Mimi´s house, made doughnuts, and we were playing outside with Mimi and Poppy. Me and my sisters were jumping on the trampoline and I heard Poppy say to mom, ¨ That tree branch is going to fall off.¨ Mom looked. It was a big tree branch and he was right. It was dangling on a vine and the worst part was that it was hanging right above the trampoline. My sisters got off and I stayed on because mom did not tell us we had to leave.  ¨  Get off the trampoline. ¨ Mom told us. Now I got off. I was not too scared. But when mom said that we would have to stay off for a while, I was devastated.  Now, you might be thinking, oh just chop it off. Well it was a big problem, actually 2!!! First, the tree branch was very high on the tree, and second... It was not our tree!!! It was our neighbors and mom said that they were very nice so if we told them they would be fine.  Well I still wanted to write a script! So mom could act like one of those cool mo

It was a warm and humid day and it was my 8th Birthday! I was so exited but when we were setting up for the party I got to go with Mimi. I got my mask when Mimi came and hopped into the car. We were driving to her house and when we got there she told me I could open a present. I did not want to because I wanted to open more presents at home. Mostly because I love to open presents.  Then she asked me what I wanted to do. I did not know because I never do. She suggested Ice- Cream which I agreed to.   We were driving to a Ice- Cream shop. ¨ What do you want. ¨ My Mimi asks me as she says all the flavors. I pick the vanilla cone with a hard chocolate on the outside. We go to the window and order. The ice- cream was really yummy. My Mimi told me how she would bite the top and sip out the ice- cream  without breaking the shell. I did not work.  We drove while we ate. We drove around Lordship because my mom wants to live there and we can not really find a good house that we like. We drove to

 Swish swish. I was painting with water color paints and I was making a flower. It looked kind of ugly so I started painting on another paper and I closed my eyes and pick a color and I pick White. I think what can you make with white and mostly White. I decide to make a clown. I start with the head because it's the easiest part and it's kind of like the base. I make a circle in the middle of the paper and there's a little bit of orange in it so it looks kind of weird but it's fine. Then I move on to the hair I did my paintbrush in the water and I get the red paint on the brush and paint curls moving upward. Then I do the same with the orange, yellow, green, blue, red and purple. It looks very very realistic. Then I remember I have to do the face. I make what looks like creepy eyes on the face because it's dry then I choose black to make the insides of the eyes. Then I use the back of my paint brush to make the pupils. And the smile who is pretty it's just an op

¨ I love the farm.¨ My sister shouted at us, and I felt pretty much the same. We were going to a farm on a random day so I was a little confused. My mom and dad never let us go places for no reason. We all got in the car and we went in the car for a long time just driving and driving. Then we reached ¨ The farm.¨ but the farm was not a farm. It was a bunch of plants in a greenhouse I thought what was that we are at a garden. My mom said that it wasn't exactly a farm she said it was more of a garden with animals. We walked to the greenhouse to look at plants for relatives for Easter. We found quite a few things. We looked at Garden toys but we couldn't really find anything so we went outside in the back. There were ducks walking on the path but they were gated up they were in a cage though. Then we looked in a cage and there were peacock a few goats that my sister was really excited about because she loves goats.  Then we went back inside to look at flowers in the other house. W

 last night I slept over at my Mimi's house. We had actually gone there to do school because she runs a daycare and we work in another room but later that day we slept over. But the first thing we did was wait till all the kids were gone and then we went on a walk. We walked to the Victoria Soto Park and then we walked around the pond and it was so much fun. We took a lot of pictures there was stairs benches and the bridge. Then we went home took off her sweaters because it was really hot and we all got in the car and we drove somewhere. It took about 15 to 18 minutes. When we got there there was a Big Y. And I was wondering why we had to go to this Big Y when we could have gone to a closer Big Y. ¨ if you wanted to go to Big Y there was another one-way closer to your house¨ I told pop who is driving the car. He told me he was actually show me the way to her hair appointment for later this week so she knew where was. When we drove home we turned our bodies and tilted whenever we tu

It was a cold windy day in April and it was April break. Me and my family had just gotten out of the car and into the airport. We saw a lot of things like Duncan donuts, gift shops, restaurants and so much more When they called our plane we got onto the plane and buckled up. I was sitting with mom and Rose and dad was with Adi. We flew up and up and I grabbed a piece of gum from moms purse and chewed as hard as I could. At that time I was only maybe five and so I didn't really like to chew gum because of flavor wore off easily. Then we started flying straight and I took out a notepad. Mom had got us all funny notepads and pens so we can write on at the airport and on the plane. I drew me my aunt and cousins and my parents and my sisters because we were going to North Carolina to see them. I was so excited to see my aunt and my cousins. Then I put it back in my backpack. I help moms and tight and I was so tired that I took out my stuffed animal and used her as a pillow and eventuall

  It was a warm but cloudy day in the Summer. Me, my sister and her BFF sighed up for virtual art camp. They had given us the boxes and canvas and they have meets.  My sisters BFF came and we set up outside and put the computer on the tablecloth. Before it was dead but we charged it a little so it came on. We opened our paints and took out some of our canvas and got to work.  We were painting my sisters favorite animal, a goat because she picked it out on the website. We started with the background which was blue and then it started to rain!!! We all panicked and went to the other umbrella. Good thing we were the only ones. then it just rained harder and harder. ¨ We are going to transfer inside.¨ My mom told the teacher. We all took our paintings and went inside.  When the moms came in with the rest of our stuff I said ¨  We could use the blow dryer like we did at Emmett´s Birthday party!  I grabbed the blow dryer and ran back and plugged it in. One by one we dried our paintings and i

 ¨ Beep, Beep, Beep.¨ A truck pulled into the driveway with a bunch of mulch in the back. It said Home Depot on the side of the truck and I looked to see who was in the window. It was my pop and he opened the window. ¨ Here´s your mulch.¨ He tells us. Suddenly he backs up and I wonder why if he is giving it to us he was leaving and not giving  it to us. ¨ Back up!!!¨ He told all of us. We all went to the path and backed up. My mom told my dad to ¨ Come here.¨ She said that because he was in the open garage. He ran to us and my mom put up the thumbs up sign. Back back back he went. Now I was really confused. Then about 60 packages of mulch flew out of the truck and me and my sisters laughed. ¨ Again, again! ¨ Me and my sisters chanted together. I was thinking that was so funny and what the heck! Then Dad and Poppy opened the back and took out the remaining mulch. There were like 5 more packages on the truck. I will never forget that funny and cool moment!

  It was a breezy summer day and it was also my birthday. I was going to be eight! I was so exited because we were going hiking with my friends. I was going with my mom´s friends kids and we were going to have so much fun.  When we got there everyone was waiting for us and we got out our scooters. You might be thinking scooters? Well yeah we were allowed to use scooters and bikes on the path which was really fun because my scooter was super fast.  First we walked toward a bunch of cages with birds in them. There were owls and peacocks, I think there was a turkey and a few other birds.  They were really cool and my friend Quinn told us all about them because she was here before us and she already saw all the birds. Then we all went on our bikes and scooters and we rode through a little house. Then we passed a few trees and stopped for the parents. We knew that we would be a lot faster than the grown ups because we had wheels!  Soon I saw a bridge and backed up my scooter.  ¨ Look guys,

  Moose My dogs name is Moose. He is a Shih Tzu and he is very tiny. He is 11 years old and we love him. He is a little stinky because he has prostate cancer. Here a short story of how we found out he has cancer.  One night my mom was working for her job as a literacy coach and my dog had a seizure. We all got really scared. My mom called pop, [ He is a nurse.] Dad sat with him and I ran outside and cried. OK I was lying when I said everyone got scared, Adi and Rose just sat and watched TV. Although Rose was watching him a little she really did not care. The next day we brought him to the vet and he stayed the whole day and I was worried that he was not going to be OK. We went at the end of the day and the vet said that he would have to go again because they needed a cancer expert. He told us he was pretty sure he had prostate cancer and they gave us medicine. We gave it to him for ten days.    We did not bring him to the expert because we knew he was old and it was OK. Now he is just

  I have a really cool shirt that says biggest sister. I love it because it reminds me of when I met my littlest sister Rosie. Here is how the story goes! It was a breezy spring day and I was four years old! I got to miss preschool for a  special occasion! I was at my Mimi´s house and I was so exited because I was going to meet my baby sister! We had been staying at my Mimi´s for 2 nights while mom and dad  were at the hospital. My pop brought us to the hospital and we were so exited because I already had a sister but baby's are so cute. We were wearing shirts, mine said biggest sister and Adi´s said big sister. When we got there I asked pop, ¨ What room is Rosie in?¨ He did not answer, I guess he did not hear.We walked into a shop?  ¨ We are getting the baby and mommy a present.¨ He told us.  We walked toward a aisle marked baby. We saw hats blankets cloths, but then we saw it. It was a pink teddy bear with cute eyes. ¨ That one!¨ I told my sister pointing at the bear.  ¨ Now some

  It was a sunny day in early fall and me, my sisters, and my parents were in the front yard. Me and my sisters were coloring on a blanket while my parents cleaned out the garage. When Rose woke up from her nap, she came to snuggle on my mom's lap. While my mom was snuggling Rose, she checked her head because she had been scratching. She called to my dad and he checked Rose's head too. Then my mom called over my other sister, Adi. I can tell it's bad because I can see my mom making faces and she kept checking their heads. Then she called me over. I was a little bit scared. My mom wouldn't let any of us in the house. She began calling places to see if we could find someone to help. Finally, she told us all to get in the car. We drove a few minutes away to a store. "Do we have lice?" I asked her.  "I think your sisters do and you might," she said. We all got out and walked into the store. The store was like a salon. There were salon chairs and each one

 Have you ever been to a sleepover? Well I have never been to a sleepover with friends, the only kind of sleepover I have been to is a sleepover with my Mimi. My Mimi is what we call our grandma and although I am not with friends it is so much fun.  We always start by me and my sister fighting about who gets to sleep on the top of the bunk bed because we both never ever get to sleep on a bunk bed because we do not have our own. Soon enough I just slept in a different room and it was all fine! It is fine because it is better than me and my two sisters sharing a room! Then we pick a show and ice cream flavor. We always have ice cream and watch a movie or a few shows. Poppy always gets the most ice cream and me and my sister get so mad! One time we were fighting so much for pop to give us the ice cream that he ate is all!  Me and my sister Adi always get to go when she asks us, not my little sister Rose, she is only three. I always feel lucky when I am at my Mimi´s house for a sleepover b

  To me home is a place to shelter you. I don´t know how I would live with no home. Here is a poem about what home means to me! To me a home is a place you spend your day, where you make memories and play and play, where the people you love are right beside you, to help with emotions and even guide you. To me a home is a place you stay, but if it is burnt or blown away, I guess I would not know what to say, I would be sad if I lost my home and I bet you would be too, so make the times with your family happy and a big ¨ Whoo Hoo!¨ If your home is a big mess, do not get stressed, clean it up and tell your kids, we keep our home healthy and that will be the way is is.  To me a home can provide, anything you want inside, water, soap, bags, you name it, even if you do not have those things, don´t be ashamed of anything, just keep reminding yourself, I have a home and I am not like anyone else! To me a home does not have to be a big place,  It could be small, tall, short, it´s really not a r

I have a tree house and me and sisters love it so much, we made it so pretty so it is amazing. Here is what is in it! first we have some painted rocks because we love to collect rocks and paint, so I thought perfect! The rocks have nice things written on them things we love and more.  We also have little canvases that have our names on them. Oh and one has a unicorn! They are in between rocks and they are fun to look at. We all love chalk so much that we decided to put chalk on it. We wrote rainbows hearts smiley faces and so much more on the walls. [ Well I drew them and they look! ]  Here is a little poem I wrote about it : You let us play inside your wood, If we could even eat in you we would, When we decorate you more and more, Even when it starts to pour, We love the time we spend with you even in the winter, Although we do not like your splinters, We want to play in you every day, Because we love you in every way! I hope you like the poem!

  Two years ago when I was in first grade it was almost mothers day. I was at the YMCA and everyone was so exited because we were painting pots.  ¨ Everyone get a pot. ¨ The teacher told us. We all got a pot and the teachers passed out paint. One of the teachers had drew flowers on the post so we could paint them in.  When I looked at the brush it was pretty big so it would be hard to paint inside the lines.  When it was getting out of the lines so much I decided to just make it so it was supposed to go outside of the lines. I also used the back of the brush to make dots. It looked so pretty to me. Then I even painted the top and wrote mom on the to and I loved it.  Everyone had so much fun and the teachers said ¨ Those all look beautiful! ¨ Now me and my mom love to water it and take care of it. She puts it in the kitchen so she can look at it when she cooks and bakes. And it just keeps on blooming!

You might remember I already wrote this story but here it is again with different words! It was a sunny day and so sunny we needed sunscreen.  ¨ Who wants to paint the garden?¨ My mom asked me and my sisters. We all said yes because we love to paint. When my mom got the supplies I got the paint and she got duct tape. I wondered what she was going to do with the duct tape. '' What are you going to do with the duct tape?¨ I asked my mom. She told us to wait. I would so excited to paint because we were using new paint that we have never used before, but we couldn't get on our cloths because it wouldn't come off.  Suddenly when we got outside she started making what I thought was diamonds with the duct tape. I wondered how we were going to paint it and make it look good after there was a duct tape covering the whole box.  Now our garden is a weird shape so it would look good if it was painted. It has like three boxes in it that can hold dirt and you can put flowers in it. W

  It was a sunny morning and it was Summer. I woke up happy and ready to play with my sisters. Just then I heard something. It was not a human or a dog, it was a bird and it was really loud, so loud that I could not hear any of my sisters yelling and fighting. I could hear it saying Tweet, Tweet, Tweet. But this bird was singing really high and it was starting to become really annoying, mostly because it was just repeating the same thing.   So I decided if it was tweeting at me I would tweet back. I whistled the same thing it was humming over and over. Then I got a sip of water because I had just waken up and I needed some fresh water. [ I had it next to my bed. ] So I got up to see if I could see the bird out of my window. It sounded close so I thought I might be able to see it. I pulled up the shade and looked out each side. Nothing, I expected a big bird but I couldn't see anything.  So I went downstairs and asked my mom if she could see a bird, she said no.  No one had seen the

  I have two dogs one is named Moose and one is named Otis. The are shih tzu and they are so adorable. Well not fully, one of them has a stinky butt!!! But they love us and most of the time we love them!!! So it was a nice but windy day and me and my family were just having dinner. Now I can´t remember what we had for dinner but I can bet it was yummy! ¨ Today Jack said he likes chocolate cake. ¨ My little sister Rose said.  I was just wondering why she said that, it was so random and maybe it was because no one was really talking. ¨ I like vanilla and chocolate cake, but not frosting because it is so yucky!¨ Adi said.   I just felt like I should say something so I did I said ¨ I like chocolate moose. ¨ Just then Rose blurted ¨ I like chocolate Otis!¨   Everyone laughed so hard, but I laughed the hardest! It was so funny! ¨ Chocolate Otis is not a thing, chocolate moose is a thing.¨ I laughed at her I will always remember that day, but mostly the laughing.🤣

 It was a warm but breezy day in May. It was also my sisters Birthday and she was really exited. Earlier that day we had made a goat cake because she loves goats. It had boxed white frosting [ YUCK! ] paper eyes, nose, and mouth. I thought the only good thing that would even be on the cake was the vanilla cake. [ Even though I prefer  chocolate frosting and vanilla cake . ]  When everyone arrived my sister came over to me. ¨ Look at all my presents!¨ She whispered in my ear trying to annoy me even more than she already had been. You see that morning she was in my ear a lot. When she opened presents, when she played with presents, and basically everything else! So as every party would go, only after dinner would we get desert. I don´t get why we can´t eat cake before dinner in party's! We cut a piece of cake with a candle on it [ Because of COVID. ]  ¨ Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Adi, happy birthday to you!¨ Everyone sang She blew out the candl

  It was a dark and breezy winter night and I was coming home from my my mom's friends daughters dance recital. I was so much fun and everyone did great! When we got home we parked the car in the garage and we ran to the door because we were so tired.  My sister opened the door and said,¨ It is locked.¨ Everyone tried opening the door but it was definitely locked. No one knew what to do, but my mom unlocked the car and we all went in, except for daddy. ¨Can I honk the horn?¨ I asked Mom. She said no. We were sitting in the front seat because we never get to go in the front. I kept touching all the parts of the steering wheel, trying to find where the horn was hidden. We started opening compartments and touching the mirror. We were actually having fun. HONK!!! The horn finally honked and everyone laughed except for mom.  ¨ I told you no.¨ Mom said. ¨Wait!¨ I screamed I was looking out the window at dad. And then suddenly I started to laugh! ¨What are you laughing at?¨ My sister Adi

It was a cloudy day in Winter and I was on Zoom with my teacher and classmates.  Recently my computer had been going black and it wasn't dead. I was always scared to exit full screen because it would just go black.  It was our reading meet and we were actually doing read aloud. ¨I am going to put you in breakout rooms now!¨ We were going to talk about our book that we were reading, [ Well she was reading! ] I was exited because I loved to go in breakout rooms. I was in a room with my reading buddy Jennifer. She is really smart and good at reading.  Then my teacher came in and told us to go to Jam board. I was thinking, What if it glitches and turns black again. ¨ Well only one way to find out.¨ I whispered on mute. And then... It went black!!! Now usually we leave it alone for 10 minutes and so I left it for 20. Nothing, absolutely nothing.  ¨ Poppy!!!¨ I yelled ¨ My computer went black and I tried charging it and leaving it¨ He came in and looked. ¨I´ll call daddy¨ He told me. So

It was a partly sunny day and we were at my mom's friend´s pool. Her name is Elena  and we had been going to her house a few times that Summer. This time I was a bit nervous because that day I was going to jump farther into the pool.  I walked to the edge of the pool, trying not to burn my toes. I bent my knees and then stopped. I was too scared to even spring up. ¨I am going to come down to the pool from the stairs, to see how deep it is.¨ I said to Elena. It was not that deep, but it was pretty deep. I also practiced swimming from there so if I were to drown I would be able to swim out. I ran back up. I could feel the nerves crawling inside of my body. I almost said that I was not going to jump but then I felt ready to do the jump. So I curled my toes around the rough edge and bent my knees and sprang up, then I splashed down and swam to the stairs. Then I took a big breath! ¨That was so much fun, again, again. I yelled.¨ I felt so energetic! My mom and sisters were so happy that

The day started out great. I was watching a new movie with my sisters, The Adams Family it was called and it started out great. Unfortunately I didn't get to finish it in the morning because I had virtual school. I was like halfway through and even though I love school I did not want to stop watching.  I had a break after reading so I decided to watch some more TV to see what happened. I was so exited so I grabbed the remote and  almost  pressed the red on button. Something told that even though my sister said she did not like it I should ask her to come because I had a feeling that the rest would be good. She came and I pressed the button and screamed!!!  I could not believe my eyes, half the screen was cracked!!! I could tell because half was black with lines all over it. At this time my dad was working from home and he came over and asked me what the matter was. I almost didn't tell him because I didn't want him to think I did it even though I knew I did not crack the TV
