EASTER

                              EASTER MORNING

"I can’t sleep," I said in the middle of the night. "What's wrong?" my mom called out from my sister Rose's room. I guess she couldn’t sleep either. I was so excited for Easter because I had a fun day planned. 

My mom came into my bed to sleep with me. My mom wasn’t helping me sleep she was actually making me stay awake because she was snoring. I didn’t close my eyes once. My mom told me and my two sisters that we had to stay in bed until 7:30. I just stared at the ceiling for hours. It was 7:29 me and my sisters woke my parents up. "don't peek at your Easter baskets" my mom said. I couldn't help but peek at my basket. My parents finally came downstairs. 

We acted surprised as we opened the gifts that the easter bunny left in our baskets. Some of my favorite things were the Nikes (they were black and white), I got a squishy maker, and a slime kit. Then me and my sisters found Easter eggs hidden around the house. I found 16 eggs. 

I really wanted to try out my squishy maker. Rose also got one so we did them together. First, you have to pour "secret solution A and secret solution B together" then add food dye and mix it around. Next, you have to pour it into an animal-shaped mold and wait 60 minutes to take it out. Lastly, when it comes out it will be a surprise what it is. I got a sloth and I named it Sally the sloth. I could already tell that it was going to be a good day.

    I think some parts of this slice are definitely fiction…so proud to see you taking this writing so seriously and how excited you are to write. I can’t wait to be your greatest fan all month long. Love you! ❤️ Mom

    You grabbed my attention with your dialogue in the first line. I could hear your frustration of having to wait for an exciting day to begin. I love all the specific details you then included in this slice. How you waited in bed and it was 7:29am. The dialogue to not peek. The list of things inside your basket. But my favorite is how you described the steps to making a squishy maker. I liked that part the best because you named it SALLY!! That's my name. So in my opinion, this is a PERFECT slice!! Thanks for sharing!

    I could feel the anticipation building to see what was in those beautiful Easter baskets!
    BTW: I've never heard of a shishy marker. Off to google that now!

Cornbread

"Can I make cornbread?" I asked my mom as she was still laying in her bed this morning.  "Sure," she said. "Go turn the oven on. Press Bake. 3-5-0. Start." I repeated "bake 3.5.0. start" as I headed back towards the kitchen. My mom finally came down and pulled up a recipe on her phone. She got some of the ingredients for me, like the baking powder, flour, and sugar.  I got to work measuring and mixing. I asked my mom how much butter to put in the microwave. She said, "Five and 1/3 tablespoons." I cut the butter and put it in the bowl my mom handed me. I put the butter in the microwave for thirty seconds and got back to mixing. I poured the batter into the pan and mom put it in the over. That's when we heard the microwave beep. "What's in the microwave? Did you remember to put the butter in?" she asked. "Oh no!" I thought. How would the cornbread taste without butter?  Mom said, "No big deal," as she

APRIL FOOLS DAY

It was a regular school day. We were working on unfinished work. It was so fun (It was actually pretty boring). "Come sit on the floor," my teacher said sternly to my class. He sounded mad. I was so scared. "What did we do now," I thought to myself.  Mr. Stillway said, "What are you guys doing?" in a mad voice. Everyone was confused because we didn't think we did anything wrong. Then he said, "I got an email from Mr. Veteri (our principal) and it said that we aren't following the Whale Pillars or being respectful, honest, safe, and kind."  The note said that some of us had to stay back in fourth grade. We were surprised but Nate had a grin on his face. Then, Mr. Stillway jumped up. It was the fastest I ever saw him move. He said, "Happy April Fools Day!" We were so mad at him. Everyone said things like, "You tricked us!!!"  Mr. Stillway was so happy. He was laughing and he was bragging that he was the GOAT at tricking

The Zoo

 It was a sunny day and me and my family were going to The Bronx Zoo because we had a four day weekend. On the way we wondered, "what kind of animals will we see there?" "Are there polar bears?" said Wren.  When we finally got to the zoo, we walked in and showed a lady our tickets. Then we walked to the first animal which was zebras. We did a lot of walking that day. I kept looking for the goats. But we never saw them because the farm exhibit was closed that day. But we did, turtles, giraffes, elephants, and tigers. My favorite was the seals. There were all sleeping on the rocks. I kept wishing one would jump off and go for a swim.  After we saw everything at the zoo, I was happy but tired of walking. We thought we were walking the right way to the car, but we weren't. We had to walk across the whole zoo again to find our car. When we finally got to the car, I was ready to sit. It was a fun day.
