My Garden

 Last year, I got a garden for my ninth birthday. I loved it. My dad and I decided to put it in the backyard, by the shed. We soon realized that it was not the best spot. It didn't get enough sun. My garden hardly had any vegetables all summer. 

So this year, we decided to move it a more sunny place. My grandma came over to help. She's so crazy about gardening. First we took all of the dirt and sticks out of the garden. We used the wheelbarrow and a lot of pots that my Grandma brought. Then, we carried the garden to it's new spot. Then we put everything in. First we started with sticks, then leaves, and finally we put all the dirt back in. 

We had planted some seeds in the house. We decided to plant the lettuce in the garden. I'm excited to see it grow.

    It felt like a big job but we got it done together. I hope your garden does better in this new spot. I love that you love your garden. It makes me think of my grandma. She loved gardening too. ❤️ Mom

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

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

 It was St. Patrick's Day and I was at school. My class was going to paint a rainbow. Earlier that day we had worked together to make a leprechaun trap. The rainbow was going to go with the trap. We all started off painting the red. When I finished painting the red, Ms. Puskar said, "There is no orange, so you'll have to make it with yellow and red." I dipped my paint brush into the yellow and before I knew it, the red cup of paint spilled off my desk. "Oh no!" I said as I stood there not knowing what to do. Everyone gathered paper towels and then I said, "This is shaped kind of like a heart!" Jake said, "I think the leprechaun did that!"
