This year in reading we read two books. The first one is called A Paradise Called Texas and the second one is called Willow Creek Home. In Paradise Called Texas the main characters are Papa , Mina , and Mama. In the beginning a man came to Mina’s school and told them they would have to pay a certain amount of money to get on a ship and go to Texas. They got on the ship and came to Texas. Then they got stuck on a beach and Mama died on there. Papa and Mina got off the beach and came to a small town. Papa and Mina had to move there. Mina had to stay with a girl named Tante Lisette, because Papa had to leave to get money. At the end of the book Papa asked Lisette to marry him. In the beginning there is a drought and they don’t have any food. Seven men decided they would bring clubs to get some food. Back in Paradise Call Texas they were promised land. Their land was in a place call Willow Creek . Later on, Lisette has as a baby named Peter . Peter was born before Christmas. during Christmas a man named William came and gave Mina a horse named Tucan. Papa had to leave again and came back with a letter that said Opa had died . Mia had to go to school again. Her teacher was a man named Herr Lange . On the first day of school two indans tried to steal Mina horse . Herr Lange shot one of the indans shoulder and scared him off. Later the men had a meeting that they would make an alliance with Chief  Custaleta . After they made the alliance Mina got captured by an indan.  Mina got away from him and Tucan saved her. Then Mina and Papa talked . Papa decided Mina has fire in her veins. My faverite part was when Mina got captured by the indan. I was on the egde of my seat in this chapter. I thought she was going to die or land on her head. I reccamend reading these books.

Dear Mr.Green ,

Will you be my valentine? The reason I want you to be m y valentine is because you are the most handsome frog in the creek. When we are outside you eyes sparkle in the moonlight. When you sit on a lily pad it’s like a butyful site. Remember our first kiss.  I kiss you and you fell in the pond. I helped you out and you fainted.  Remember the other time in frog school when you had that baritone voice? You serenaded me with a melody from your heart. Oh , were such a sweetheart. Remember that time you had to move. I just missed you so much that I got lovesick. Meet me at the pond for some romance.

Saving water is important. Lots of our water is vanishing. our population is getting bigger, so that that means more water. Here some ways to save water.

The first step to save water is to turn the sink off when you are brushing your teeth. About ten gallons of water is lost every day. If we turn off our sink we would have gallons and gallons of water. Next, you can take a five minute shower instead of a thirty minute shower. A person uses about seven hundred gallons of water a week.Finally, try to wash your close every other day.It takes about  seven hundred gallons of water to make the shirt you are wearing right now! It takes about twenty-four gallons of water to make one pound of plastic. Do you think you would trade  a five minute shower for a pound of plastic?

We need water. Start saving today!

The best gift Ihave ever given was a necklace . It was heart shaped with diamonds inside the heart and the word mom on top to of the diamonds.

It was a week before mothers day, and I needed to get my mom a present. My dad took me to the mall. We looked at bracelets, rings, earrings, and other things. Then we went to the necklaces. At first I was going to her one that just said mom in cursive.Mom, but just as we were going to buy it, I saw a heart shaped necklace. I put back the cursive mom necklace away and went to get the heart shaped necklace.

On Mother’s Day I handed the present to my mom. She opened it and smiled. She told me it was the best gift ever.

It made me feel great to give that gift.Ican’t wait untill her birthday!
