Not That Bird

-

 

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 bird, The mystery will stay a secret!!!

    I've had a similar experience. Birds can be so loud and very difficult to see, especially if they are high in a tree. I love how you ended your slice, "The mystery will stay a secret." My student Rylee has been slicing during spring break and I didn't know it. She's a third grader, too. Her posts are here: https://kidblog.org/class/gt-allstars/posts

    I have a hard time spotting noisy birds, too. It's almost like they can hide from you while they are singing to you. It was a great idea to try to sing back. I might try that next time.

Locked

-
  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 s...

The ¨ Farm ¨

-
¨ 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...

Dance

-
  An anxious feeling filled my body as I sat patiently, waiting onstage for my numbers to be called. “ You did great in all of your dances,” I told myself. " Why are you getting so nervous? It won't change anything. “ Thinking this just made the anxiousness get worse. The awards had just started, and my first number had been called. “ Featherstone… Platinum.” The announcer called. This was my contemporary dance, my favorite dance this season. In case you didn't know, your dances were ranked with Gold being the lowest and then going High Gold, Platinum, and then Diamond being the highest. My friend Madison went up to retrieve the trophy and pins, and I smiled in relief that we did pretty well. After a couple of dances, one of my dances was called again: “ Sweet Dreams… Diamond.” With this being called, all of my nerves left me, and joy perked up right there in its place. “ Sweet Dreams”  was my jazz dance, and I was proud of everyone in the group because we had made much pr...
