2ND GRADE IN LORENA ST SCHOOL ELEMENTARY

I started elementary in Soto st school .I was there only for three years until the end of first grade .I really loved that school it was really cool all of the teachers and my friends used to call me dimples=D. I used to be so happy in that school until my dad said he wanted to move house .I got really sad especially because I was going to have to leave my friends and my favorite teachers =(. After two days we moved house on the third day my mom went to a new school called Lorena st school she went to get the papers to put me in that school. The next day was a Friday she took the papers .The lady said the teachers name is Ms. Hamanaka ,but it’s a class where they only speak English and no Spanish .I felt much more scare because I didn't know how to really speak English .The lady said would you like to start today or on Monday .I said on Monday but my mom said it would be better if you start today I said ok but I started crying .I did not want to stay the lady said don’t cry you’re a big girl going to second grade .The lady called the teacher for she could send somebody to go show me were to go .Two girls got to the office they saw me they said hi to me ,then my mom said go with them .I hugged her really hard and started crying then I left ,when we got to the class I did not want to go inside I was scare .The teacher came outside and said you have to come inside everything is going to be ok .She said could you see that girl right there her name is Jasmin she berly came in two days ago .She was also scare like you but know she feels much more better know. After she told me all of that she made me feel much more better so I finally went inside .When I walked inside the classroom everybody just stared me .In that moment I felt like if they didn’t like me I wanted to run out of the class and go with my mom=(. The teacher told the class say hi to MAYRA .The whole class said welcome to our class mayra when they told me that I felt a little much better .She told me were to sit, I got to sit next to a boy name Jorge but he was absent after that seat their was a girl her name was Rebeca. Before the bell rang to go to recess said who would like to go with mayra and show her where everything is .Almost the whole class raised their hand .But the teacher picked rebeca and this other girl name breanna I didnt really like breanna because she seemed concited .And I’ve always hated concited people but oh well it was my first day so I didn’t want to get in trouble the first day. After they showed me every thing we went down to the playground when I was going down the ramp everyone just stared at me I felt weird .Then I found one of my friend her name is Jennifer .When she saw me she just ran and gave me a big hug , jennifer said do you want to go with me and when the bell rings ill show you were your line is at .I said ok then so the other two girls left .When the bell rang they walked me to my line then the teacher came out and took us to the classroom .We were just coping some things from the book .finally the bell rang to go home I got so happy .When my mom picked me up and said how was your day ,I said it was ok .So I just continued on Monday everyday I did the same thing work and work and see my friends .I though 2Nd grade was going to be hard but after all it wasin’t ,it was pretty cool. =D

Per. 4 English

My life was always simple when I was little kid. I was very lazy like a sloth. I always watch television, eat, and sit on the couch all day but all that changed when my mom told me I had to go to school. When my mom told me about school I thought it was a dull place plus I had to learn English. It sounded like a hard language to learn. My first school was Rowan elementary I didn’t really learn anything there.

Then, my family decided to move somewhere else. We moved to City of Commerce where I went to Bandini elementary school where learning went up to another level. The kids were much smarter. They knew there alphabet fast and they knew their numbers to 1-50. These kids were much smarter than me. Then I moved to some other house next to East L.A. but I still live in the City of commerce area. I switch to Ford blvd. elementary. I was entered to the first grade and my teacher was Ms. Cardenas which she was the one that help me learn English better and me improve in my math skills. Then in second grade I improve in everything. My second grade teacher was Ms. Macias. I didn’t really learn anything but I did great in school. I thought her teaching methods were boring. She was always absent a lot. Then when I got to the third grade it got harder for me because she taught in a complex way so it was harder for me to learn. That year I was not doing not so good in school. Then until I got to the four grade I had a teacher that was really mean but taught really well. Than I got better at school and I didn’t failed so I went to the fifth grade. Ms. Leal was my teacher from fourth grade and loved the class so much that she kept us for fifth grade also. That year I notice that I was pretty smart. When I promoted from elementary I had all these awards. Now I’m trying to move on and doing good in school. I need to do great in school to go to a great university. My point is that I had problems during my school life.

Graduating from elementary

When I was about to graduate from my elementary school we practiced how to enter the auditorium was dressed the next day it was the big day so I woke up at six am and took a bath then I put a suit and my dad took me to school. When I got there I was nervous then I saw a lot of people and kid dressed nicely and I saw my friends and I went with them. Then it was time to go to the auditorium and the ceremony started already we lined up in line and the teachers started to call our names I was the last one because of my last name. Then they said Javier Zarate I walked and they clapped like if I was famous then we went outside for a piece of cake and punch. Then my parents came and I took photos with my friends and then I went home and I was happy.
After that I went to school the next day and we didn’t do any work. Then it was 1:30 pm and we cleaned the classroom for the next 5 graders. Then it was 2:15 and it was almost time to go home. We put all books away and took our materials with us then it was time to go home. The bell rang and then I said this is it time to go to middle school no more childhood and they picked me up and I went home and finally I was in vacation now time to go to Stevenson Middle School and this my story when I graduated from elementary.

Early childhood

In my first day of pre-school it was very fun but also really scary because I had never been with out my mom so I cried. I was 4 years old, every time I was left there I cry like a water hose. Then I got used to staying there and I had a lot of friends I loved playing with the hammers and making a lot of noise. After there was this girl she was a pain in the butt she didn’t leave me alone not even at naptime. Then she became my girl friend. Then she left me the second day she was bothering other boys and I was really relief. Then I past to kinder it was kind of hard for me I stared to say the alphabet and the numbers they where hard to memories but the cool part of that class was we used to learn the letters pictured in a dolls stomach .They were fun and we learned ,in my alphabet test’s I used to get 90% or higher and I always got a big smiley face .When I got my first video game I had gotten was very special because I had gotten my first grade and it was one of my highest grades I had gotten in that grade level, so my mom and father said that they were going to buy me the new video game for my good grade I was so happy ,when I started to play with my new video game I had no idea of how to use it then I ask my brother how was a geek at playing games .then I was a pro at playing ,after I got really into playing does games that my grades went down because the games were more better then doing my homework but when they took my video game away so I had to get my grade up .I got my grade up and got my game but with one condition that I wont lower my grades then a C .In my first grade class everything was easy ,I do not remember that much but I do remember that I had a really cool girl friend and she did not separate from me so I started to hid from her so at that time I had moved to a new school and the bad thing about it was that we moved three blocks from her house then I never saw her again because I had moved school .In my second grade I had a really cool teacher she did not leave use homework in class I always got an A because she only left use project like build a model of a house or a car .After I past the second grade my dad took us to Mexico and left us over their with our mom how was visiting her mom .Then I went to school in Mexico for 2-4 it was really hard because I only talk English more than Spanish .then we came back to the U.S and I started in fifth grade, I had this teacher named Miss sweat she was mean and I came here with out knowing how to write or read English I could only speak ,then I took a special classes and I got better but I still stud in fifth grade again because I decided to stay because I was not ready .Then I past to six grade and started in a very low level called ESL then in seventh grade I got changed to a regular English class . In eighth grade I pass a very good time because I feel good for me and how far I gotten in my few years in school .SO THAT’S MY EARLY CHILDHOOD I NOW IT IS BORING BUT WHAT COULD YOU DO.

Mr. McConnell

When I when to 3rd and 4th grade I had the same teacher for two years his name was Mr.ledesma. He taught me how to do some really big paragraphs. He taught us first by doing a big paper about our whole weekend and without skipping lines. Some students that were perverts used to touch the girl’s ass or touch them in a sexual way. It semen nothing good, the perverts used to slap the girls ass. They used to do it so hard it sounded when someone clap their hands. The girls use to like it to. That was something really bad. Good thing I never did that. Even some students used to tell me to try and do that to the girls because they said it felt soft and good. I said why if that’s where everyone does their business. They told me that I was a chicken but I did not care. Then the girls got neatened that they told the teacher and they did not know in what trouble they were going to get into. It lasted for six months the touching and other worse stuff. They got suspended for 3 days because it was sexual harassment. In that class I learned a lesson.

When 5th grade started I thought it was going to be the hardest grade from elementary school. Plus I even got to think I was going to flunk 5th grade. My teachers name was Miss.Cota we did a lots of expiriments in her science class. It was a fun class we saw dead bodys from animals and much more. part of The same people that made the things from 3rd grade and 4th grade were in my class. And they started doing the same but this time it was worse. It seemed they didn’t learn there lesson from the last two years. This time they started coming in the class during recess and lunch to the class and play the computers or hide in the class closet and they took turns to hide in there to kiss and do adult stuff. Some of the kids where my friends and told me all about it and I could not believe it, untill I spyd on them and I saw them going to the class room. And I when in the class room and I saw them doing nasty things and I close the door and ran to the play ground. After they made me swear to don’t tell anyone and I did. Later then that same day I saw them doing their things they got discovered one day before turkey's day.

Most of the boys and the girls thought I rat them out because I was the only one that knew. But I didn’t. Then they started saying I was part of them once they were caught. even though they knew I wasn’t .During class time the principal started calling one by one to his office. I was scared I thought I was going to go to jail. He asked me lots of questions and to all of the questions I answered that I was not involved. The principal checked my record and he told me I was with Mr.ledesma for two years of school in his class and I said yes he said you are clean and you are graduating I felt like if I was gifted. The other perverts got suspended and got a ticket. When I graduated the school gave me like a gold chain because I had good grades through the whole school years. Then later that day my family celebrated my graduation with lots of gifts and good tings. That day I felt like if I was someone really special.

good-bye i love you forever

Good-bye
I am so confused
Not knowing what to do
I love you so much
But I love him too
Most of the time
All we ever do is fight
I really don’t have a clue
On how to make it right
I want to be with you
But he is never off my mind
I’m sorry that I am hurting you
I’m sorry I’m that kind
Why do I still love my ex?
I ask myself everyday
I have you know
But I just want to hold him and say
“I miss you so much
You are the love of my life
I want to be with you forever
I want to be your wife”
He would never hurt me
Curse at me or lie
So that is why I have to say
I’M SORRY AND GOOD-BYE…

This poem is how I still want my ex-boyfriend back even after we broke up. I have a new boyfriend right now but I am going to bump him because he does not treat me right. This poem describes how I LOVE my ex-boyfriend and I am going to break up with my new boyfriend for him.
I LOVE YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU EVEN IF YOU DON’T LOVE

THE WORST DAY OF MY 6TH GRADE.

The worst day of my life was when I was in 6th grade. I was in Mr. Miranda's class, it was 6th period. It was so humiliating because all the people were just looking at me, even the guys were looking at me & they were just laughing. So i just got really panic & i told Mr. Miranda that i had to got to the restroom because it was an emergency and that i had to go really badly. He didn't let me go at first but then, I just told him & very loudly MR. I NEED TO GO TO THE RESTROOM BECAUSE I JUST GOT MY PERIOD.'' So he's all like then go, go. So i wanted to stand up but all the people in my class were looking at me & i just felt like crying because all my pants were staine & you could of really see it. So i just stand up & i went with my friend jenny because i didn't wanted to go alone. Then i asked George to lend me his sweater because i was staine he was so nice that he did lend it to me. after that i went to the nurse to get a pad & to call my dad for he could bring me some clothes. so then he did, then i had to go back to my 6th period. When i went in their everybody was just looking at me, like if they have a staring problem. So i screamed DAYAM WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOU B******. Then my teacher Mr. Miranda told me to sit down. Finally the day ended and people were asking me alot of questions outside of class i was just ignoring them. Then some days passed & people forgot about it. But that was the most humiliating day of my 6th grade.

When I Got Suspended 2 Times

When I got suspended in Griffith middle school. I got suspended for doing stuff to other people’s property that doesn’t belong to me. What I did is help my friends mess up my teacher’s car. What I did is put branches inside my teacher’s car. We broke his back tail light. We also tagged on his car. I helped Sergio put the branches in the car.

Then I was keeping watch for my friends to break the back tail light. Then the next day the dean called up Sergio to tell him who helped you mess up the car so Sergio told him our names.

So they found out was us because they caught us in camera. So I, Sergio and Jose got suspended but my other friend named Freddy got O.T. and he went to belvedere middle school. Freddy got a ticket for tagging on the car. The school the police had us arrested to question us because he thought we were not saying the true because Sergio kept on stuttering.

Then the school police let us go so we had to go back to the dean’s office. He told us that he was going to call our parents but he didn’t. They gave us a note to remind our parents that we were suspended for the next day. So then I showed it to my mom. Then she was talking to me saying that what I did was wrong. So I just told her I know.

After that they took me the school the next day to talk to my counselor. So they put me in a daily but I wouldn’t turn it in. so the counselor called my mom telling her that I wasn’t turning in my daily’s so the counselor told my mom about t some program. The program was named Vida it was from the sheriffs departments I told my mom to put me in that I didn’t care so the next day she went to get an application. So when I started I started to get good grades. I also started to behave better.

So then now I behave better and my mom trusties me. Like no to get a daily no more. So then a week later I had gotten suspended again. So when I got to the deans office the security was searching my backpack crazy like if I had a gun. But they were searching for 2 bottles of c it is called computer cleaner that gets you high fast. So they took me to the principal’s office to question me and other 2 kids that were already in the principal’s office before I had gotten there. That they had told the principal that I had the 2 bottles of cc.

After that the 2 kids told the principal more name that had done it to. There was like 8 of us in the principal’s office. They took us to the nurses office to test us if we had done cc. all of us got negative that we had all done it because our heart beats were going to fast. So then my counselor saw me and took me to here office to call my mom that what had happen.

So then my counselor passed the phone to me so I could talk to my mom she was telling me stuff that was getting me sad. Then my mom started to cry so I felt bad. I told my mom that some kid told the principal that I had 2 bottles of cc. then when I got home she was crying and telling me how you could do this to me. After I worked my ass of to get you some food on the table. So I felt bad so tears started to come out of my eyes. Then my mom went to the school telling them if they could put me on school probation and on a daily to.

So after that happen I started to do my homework and not get in trouble. The school told my mom that they had a drug program for me. It was all the way in south central. A bus would come to pick me up ever Thursday right after school. The program had helped me a lot by not to use drugs.

My Change

My change

It all started when I entered middle school…
I was very shy and I didn’t wanted to talk to any body. But only talk t the people that I really new. But then 7th grade came and I wanted to hang out with new people and so I showed the ME and a lot of skaters liked me because I was the only skater chick they new.

Then one day I saw them go places that are far and they didn’t haft to tell there parents and at that time I though it was cool. So then they started to invite me to go skate with them to a skate park and I said no because my parents wont let me. I though it was stupid of me and so I told m mom and she said yes so the next day I went and I had fun. So then that same day they invited me again and I said sure so I told my mom again and she said that I always want more and that’s true I do. Then after that I stated making plans with my friends with out telling my parents and they get mad and we start to argue a lot.

So then the school year ended. Then it was time for me to be a 8th grader and this time I told myself that I’m not going to go with my friends to skate parks or any thing… so I decided to change my ways and so far iv been good. I found out my problem it was the friends I once had and I didn’t realized it till now and now the new friends that I have are the kind that respect there parents and don’t cause that much trouble than the last friends that I had.
So now I have been much better I have been helping my parents not getting in any arguments with my parents. and ever since the last friends I had I NO I will never do that same mistake.

My Babybop Costume

When I was 3 years old and I used to go to preschool I dressed up for Halloween as Babybop from the show Barney. I used to like Barney a lot when I was little because it would have many colors and they would show me the numbers and letters. My mom used to put me the show Barney and I guess that’s how I started liking Babybop.

Baybop is supposed to be a little girl with a yellow blanket on the show. I used to like Babybop so much that I think that’s why I wanted to dress up as her for Halloween. All my family would take pictures and buy me things of Babybop because I used to cry so that they could buy it for me .They also told me I was a crybaby and I used to cry for everything.

In my costume I included glasses but the costume didn’t have to go with glasses. The costume colors are purple and green 2 of my favorite colors. Another color is yellow because Babybop carries a yellow blanket everywhere. I think Babyop was one of my favorite characters when I was little and I think it still is.


When I was 3 years old I used to live in East L.A .East L.A has been my hometown for 13 years already. I’ve done so many things and like my Babybop costume will be one of the best memories from East L.A. The Babybop costume I think my mom bought it for me in Halloween Club where we usually buy all of our costumes. So I hope my next costume I buy it their and maybe my costume I get would probably be of another Barney character.

Meeting Miranda

Meeting Miranda

When I was 8 yrs old and in the third grade, I would always see this strange girl walking around school. She would wear these strangely colored clothes. I thought of her as unique or extraordinary. Her hair looked as if someone got gum stuck in it, then cut it off in a weird way. The truth was that I never really liked her, I kind or hated her. But there was a reason. She would always talk to my mom. Whenever she would see us she would talk to her, I had no idea why that bothered me, maybe it’s because I didn’t want my mom talking to someone I didn’t even know.

Later I found out that her name was Miranda. Shortly after, I realized that her class was right across from mine. Miranda, if I can recall also had bushy eyebrows. She was really tall as tall as the building or that’s just how she looked to me. The year was finally over. I was bursting with joy; I could have been jumping up and down. When the new school year started I didn’t want to go. I even almost started to cry like a baby. But I remembered that some of my friends were there so I went. When I went in I saw Ruby and Isabel. We tried to sit next to each other, but Mr. Flores had already assigned seats. Mr. Flores was tall and a weird beard more like stubble. After recess, when we got back I saw Miranda. My face just exploded, the room felt like it was getting smaller.

After a while I started talking to her. She was really interesting. We started to eat lunch together, hanging out as we could. Soon we were best friends. We would always be together; if someone was looking for one of us they would find us both. Miranda would always make laugh. Never was there a time Miranda would not have a crush on someone, but then she stopped. Then near the end of the year I found out that she lived on the same block as me. It was my house, then the back house. There was a wall that wasn’t high but had barbed wire; Miranda’s house was right behind it. When the school year ended, we were devastated we thought that we would never see each other. But then we remembered we could visit each others’ house.

When the fifth grade started I was so happy I had Miranda in my class. But the worst teacher. Her name was Ms, Simpson, she smoked a lot. When she passed by you, you couldn’t even breathe. We even made a song about her. She was mean to everyone on the first day, like when she made us write about hurricane Katrina then made us read it and then laughed at us.

Her classroom was okay. The floor had carpets. As much as I can remember Miranda has changed a lot. She became boyish like a tomboy. She chased boys’ everyday at lunch all the time. They would see her, get scared and run off. She has also become nicer and helps out people when ever she could. I could always count on her when I needed help or had a problem. I miss her a lot. Over the summer she moved so I don’t see her as much as I use to. But I do know that I will see her in ninth grade at Garfield and she would see all of her loving friends.

The day i betrayed my best friend

the time i had barely gone to 4Th grade i had no friends. And I didn't know anyone because of how much i used to move. But then a week passed by and I had made a new friend. They were cool we used to have a lot of fun. But one day we got in trouble for supposedly tagging on the benches. so they blamed on us because we used to kick it there so they suspended me and my friends. the next day my mom had to go for a meeting with the principle he had said that i was the one who tagged on the bench.so then i said it was my friend and they believed me because he had a record.so they called me up and they told me to say wath i had said. so he got suspended so when he came back i said sorry and he pushed me and i pushed him back and we almost got into a fight. So the year pased and the next year we didnt say one word to to each other.

I remember the day I pants a girl. It happened in 6th grade when I barely entered 6th grade. It was on Friday in a sunny day when I pants the girl. In P E there was like a billion kids. It sounded like if we were in the super market. I saw a beautiful girl she caught my eye. I told her was up sexy she said f*** you. I felt like a jerk but I wasn’t because I did not know the girl. I told her was up sexy because I thought she was going to say nothing. So my friends started to tell me things. They told me a girl that a sexy girl wasn’t going to get with me. My friends also told me that I was gay but I did not listen to them because I knew I wasn’t gay. One of my friends told me if you’re down for your mom go and pants that girl. I thought first that if I pants the girl I was going to get in trouble but since my friend told me only if I’m down for my mom. So I went to the girl where she was with her friends and I went right behind her I got her end of her shorts I pulled them down. The girl got mad and started to cause at me. The girl when I pants her she got red like a tomato. I pants her and I saw her underwear and her underwear was white and with pink flowers my friend that told me to pants her he started laughing like a monkey. The teachers were outside and they did not see me but the girl told me she was going to tell the dean but I told her I did not meant to do that. The girl’s name was veronica she told me ok and she said if u really mean it why you pants me and embarrassed me in front of my friends. I just listen to my friend because he told me if you are down for your mom pants that girl. So she told me ok I’ll forgive you because you did it for your mom she told me I will also do anything for my mom. I told her thank you very much for not telling the dean and I just walked away and went back to my P E class and I sat down like if nothing happened. When I got home I told everything that happened at school to my mom about the girl I pants. Then when I told my mom she started to laugh and got mad at me for disrespecting a girl.

The First Day At Stevenson

Vargas, Jose
English, period: 5

Room: 63
The first day at Stevenson middle school

It was one sunny morning when I went to go get the mail. I was walking slowly to go get the mail at my front yard. Once I got there I started to walk back home. I put the mail on the table and my mom said for who is the mail. I did not know for who was the mail but when I saw the mail I saw the card that said the classes that I had to go to next year on the first day of school at Stevenson middle school. My mom came to me when she saw that I had gotten surprised. My mom told me what was wrong with me. I don’t know why I feel scared. My mom told me why are you scared. I didn’t know how to tell her. I feel scared because probably in my class there is not going to be anyone from last year.

The next day in the morning I woke up and I went to go take a shower. When I
Finished taking a shower I got my clothes and I started to change. I went to the
Kitchen where my mom was. My mom told me if I was ready. I told her yes mom.
So we got out the house and we started to walk to school. While we were walking
Too school I saw one of my friends from fifth grade. I told him what room did he get and he told me room one hundred and six. I thought he got the same room as I had but he didn’t. When we got to school I saw another couple of my friends but the bad thing was that when I told them what room they had got it was not the same one I had got.

When I went to room fifty-five I saw the teacher that I got for first period. She looked very nice. My mom told her that when they gave me my schedules to sort of tell me where my classes were. When they gave me my schedules my first and second period I had room fifty-five. For third, forth and for sixth period I had room one hundred and six. And for fifth period I had physical education. For math and science my teacher was ms. Rojas. For English and history I had ms. Gratt. And for physical education my teacher was ms. Laughlin. All of my teachers were nice the only thing was those ms. Laughlin was the only stricked teacher.

On the first days of school I had lots of fun but days passed and I started to think that sixth grade was hard because of all the homework the teachers were giving. Some of my teachers gave me a lot of homework and other teachers gave me a little bit of homework. Even though they gave me a little bit or a lot of homework I still liked sixth grade the most.

The end

Had no Friend in Elementary

When I was in preschool in Early Elementary. When it was the day I go to preschool I never cried when my mom left me. I had fun in my class with Mrs.Po we always played when we had free time. I always played by myself kitchen and tea with toy animals the other played dress up and play together. My teacher Mrs.Po she always felt sad when I played by myself. She would always ask me if I wanted to play with her I will always say yes to her because she is a really nice teacher that I have ever met. We always talk a lot together when she asked me a question I felt really quiet. When I turned around to see the other students they were all laughing everything they had a lot of fun but me I had with my teacher I feel alone in that day.
One day a girl name Emily she will tell me question I will ignore her I felt hurt that I had ignore her. I felt like telling “I am sorry that I had ignore you’’. I didn’tdoit because if I tell her, she will be angry or be ignoring me just that I did. I was always to shy to tell her an apologize. So I went to class and played by myself again. Then my teacher made us to get partners but everyone had partners but upset me my teacher Mrs. Po she will tell me to go to the group but I said “No I think that I will better work by myself. My teacher said okay. Then their was a girl name Kathie she was telling me stuffs and I will just ignore her and will just walk away and still work by myself. Then when she felt bad when her friends said why did you tell her stuffs she didn’t did any thing to you when she felt bad in that day and I felt bad and I thought it was my fault.
When I go to recess I will always eat by myself when I am done I always go to my class with Mrs.Po and go inside. Play the activity that I like playing tea party. When my teacher is absent I will go and just walk around or sit down I do anything and look at the cloud or sometimes there is no cloud I see the kids playing and by chasing each other. In lunch we suppose to hold hands and be in partners. I never had a partner I act that I have a partner whenever we are on the play area I just go and stay sitting and wait when it bell rang.
One day a girl name Ivett she was a new student she was shy to like me when I go and eat recess I see her eating by herself I sit with her but not that close then I was finish and she was finish to o I went to class first and played when I saw her playing too then the teacher came she said will maybe you will be friends. Then she Ivett, Mrs.Po and me were playing tea party. Ivett started talking to me and I started to talk to her but we still go to class and play. When I go to get something to buy to eat we always wait for each other. Then when Emily came I had apologize she except my apologize. When Kathie came she told me sorry and I accepted her apology. Ivett told me what happened I told her it is a long story she started to laugh when Emily and Kathie came we all came friends we always talk a lot but we all go to Mrs.Po class to play tea party and always be friends.

Playground Puke

In fifth grade during the south playground's repair, Magaly and I stayed after school. The sun was beating down on us and the soles of our shoes were scorching hot from the heat. Then all of a sudden it started to drizzle very faintly at first, then the droplets of rain were thick as gum balls and u could not see what was in front of you. We sprinted to the corner store across the street from our elementary school. Together we waited for the sun to shine again and so it did, after a couple of minutes, the storm had passed and so we bought some drinks and junk food and left.
We walked across the now sodden asphalt inhaling its sweet aroma drinking our ice cold Gatorade. When we arrived at the north playground we found Valerie and she had a bottle of Lucas picante. We screamed her name out and she rammed right into the pole (ouch). Magaly ran up to her and helped her up, after we were certain that she was alright we asked if she wanted to do the secret Lucas mix and she was all up for that.
All three us were in Rowan Avenue’s Bulldogs Drill team so we knew the secret formula. A bottle of Lucas and a bag of limon Lays (lemon). The story goes like this; Miss Lopez who was once our coach was walking with a Lucas bottle in one hand and a bag of limon Lays and then she tripped. When she stood up she noticed that her limon Lays had some Lucas on them and well she tried them, loved it and ever since then every week we have had a bag of secret formulated limon Lays.
Valerie always loved the secret formula so we mixed the ingredients and dug in. Magaly accidentally inhaled an air full of Lucas and she started coughing. She ran to a nearby water fountain and nearly choked on the water. When she was done spewing water out of her mouth she dared us to do what she had just done.
Valerie is always up for a challenge and so she said she would do it. When she did it, she did not start coughing like Magaly but you did see her body heaving but nothing coming out. When she had calmed down she told me that the citric acid in Lucas is what had made her start heaving. Then all to soon it was my turn and so I did it and the sensation that your stomach was on fire was instantaneous. I automatically ran to the water fountain like Magaly had and I was relieved of the burning sensation but a new sensation was occurring underneath it all. At first I felt fine but then I felt light headed the floor started falling away from me and then I was on the ground, puking out a concoction of fluids. It felt like I could not stop but then I was emptied of all the food and liquids in my body and I felt better.
When I stood up I was ailing and I was tottering over a puddle of my own vomit. I felt dehydrated and dizzy Valerie and Magaly had to walk me home. When I finally arrived at my house I crashed onto my soft bed and fell asleep.

Ms. Shorter

In elementary the earliest memory I had was when I was in first grade. I remember when we were in recess, my teacher Ms. Shorter will always run around the school about two times or less. But one day Ms. Shorter was running around school and when recess was over we went back to the classroom she wasn’t there. I remembered I asked the T.A. where was Ms. Shorter, she told me and the rest of the class that our teacher was in the hospital because she got runned over by a car. She had broken her leg in to two pieces.
I did not understand but when I went home I told my mom what had happened in school and she explained it to me and I understood. The next day we had a substitute, she was an old lady with white hair and she was wrinkled and was I remembered she was very mean. The next day we had another substitute and she nicer than the previous one we had. Ms. Shorter didn’t come for at least a month, the next month after that we got nice letters from Ms. Shorter, the cards were light green and they were shaped like a heart. I remembered she wrote a letter to each student saying something special. I don’t remember what mine said. But what I do remember was that the sub was reading my letter to me, and she began to cry because she was a close friend of Ms. Shorter.
Then past one more month and Ms. Shorter came back to school to start teaching the class again. When she came back I was happy because I missed her dearly. When she was feeling better she began to run again. Now that I think about it I start to laugh but at the same time I feel sad for what happened to her.

Camp Clear Creek

Sedano, Leslie
Mr. McConnell
English ,per 4.

When I was in the 5th grade for my birthday I went to Camp Clear Creek, which my birthday was in November 7, 2008. It was a class field trip. I was so sad because my family was not going to celebrate my birthday only my sister’s birthday because we have the same birthday but we are just 6 years apart so I felt sad. The day we went we arrived and gotten in to group with others schools there was 5 groups. The names of the groups were named by animals. The names were bear, raccoon, rattlesnakes, bobcat, and the last one was and the last one is coyote. When we got into our groups we all went to our cabin choused and we some to share bunk beds. I choused this girl named Jackie. She went to the same school as I did. She slept on the bottom bed and I slept in the top bed it was so fun because I have never slept on a top bunk bed. When we choose a person to share bunk beds the lady’s that were going to be supper visor us gave us our bunk beds and then we started to unpack. When we all finished we went to the cafeteria to go eat lunch. Before we got their my friend Darinee had said “Happy Birthday Leslie” which some other girl name Jahira said “it is your birthday” and I sad “Yes”. When we got there one of the people who worked there gave us like a presentation and he said “that every year on our birthday we go around the world one time because that is how long it takes 1 year”. Then he said today is someone’s birthday and he said that if any one knew who it was. Then Jarhira said it was Leslie’s. Then he told me to come up and he told me how many times have you been around the world and I told him 10 times. Then they sang to me happy birthday. When they finished singing happy birthday to me they gave me a brownie with some starbursts. Then the man sad if I will like it know or later and I said later then he went to put it away. When he went too go put it away they started to pass out lunch. I don’t quite what kind of food we had because it was so long ago, but what I remember was the first time I had coffee cake, which I had the first morning there. I can’t remember the schedule we did, but I know that we went hiking about 5 times on was when we came because we had to go hiking down to the cabins. We also went hiking in the morning and we saw the mountains and we studied the plants and trees. We also saw a small water fall and saw insects. I took a camera so I took a lot of pictures. The 3rd hiking trip was my favorite it was the hiking, but at night it was fun we had to choose a partner and I choose my friend named Monica which we both hell because we had to turn off our flash light so that is how we fell down. We hiked up maybe all the way up the mountain. While we where there we stopped and the super visor past out like this mint candy and we had to turn off our flash lights again and put the candy in our mouth and you can see little lights coming out of our mouths it was very fun, but I didn’t eat the candy I saved it for later which I did eat later on. The next day I had my piece of brownie. It was also going to be the last night so we did allot of things we went hiking and saw more things then we made bracelets and landyerds.we played different games with the people we met we also went to the little small zoo which some of them were rescued by the camp. They super visors taught us a song of bazooka bubble gum it was so fun. The last night it was fun because had a came fire which we all got to gather and had like a play which every team had to make a play about something. The plays where so fun because they where all funny after we all finished we all went to our cabins and went to sleep. The next day was the last day we were all sad because all had a fun time so we had to start packing. When we all finished we had our last hiking trip, but this time we had to go to the school bus. While we where hiking it started to sprinkle so we hurried so we don’t get wet. When we got there we all took a picture together of both of the schools then we got on the bus and went back to school which to my it was a long way. When we got there my mom was already waiting for me, which I was so happy to see my mom. When we got their my mom took me out so I can go home and relaxs, but before that we went to jack in the boxes to go get which I told my mom how much fun I had. When I got home I opened my birthday present, which I got a t-shirt and I got money. I was so happy and I had so much fun.

My First School Fight

Have you ever gotten in a school fight? Well I have, when I was in 7^th grade I got in a fight. It all started when the girl kept rolling her eyes at me. One day after school hers and my friend were going to get in a fight. I seen her trying to think all cool and then told her friend “don’t worry I got your back.” I was just laughing and laughing at her because it was very funny.

After I just snapped at her and told her “shut up you sound so dumb saying that.” She got all mad. The next day was when all the action happened. If you now what I mean. During lunch I went up to her and told her that why was she saying that we jumped her friend. She got all up in my face and told me that she wasn’t. I got tired of her and told her handles then after school. She said ok.

After 5 and 6 period pass when I came outside of my classroom she was waiting for me right there. She had big ring in each finger. I told her to take them off that this was a clean fight. I couldn’t believe she actually listen to me and took them off. I through my backpack to the floor and put my hair in a bun. As soon as I seen her coming near me I got her by the hair and started swinging at her. I got some clean shots in her face. The point when she got at me by the hair I got all crazy on her.

The security Lucy was coming and she separated us by the hair. Lucy took us to the deans office. When we got to there they gave us both a paper to right the reason we were fighting. They asked us what are your reasons for fighting, I said because she was looking at me dirty and she said because we were going to jump her friend. I was so mad. They gave us a paper that said we were suspended. My mom was mad but then she got over it. So that was the story of my first fight. Maria

My Memories on Elementary

On my first grade I was in Mexico. My teacher was nice because she led us have free time. When it was free time we play and we do a lot of fun activities. Plus my cousin and my friends were in the same class as me. It was cool because I could talk to them. On Halloween we dress up I dress up like a doctor my cousin like a princess, my aunt helped me dress because she is a doctor. When it was mother’s day we did decorations in the card that we were going to write about. My mother was on LA so I give the card to my grandma. In first grade was awesome for me.

In second grade it was even better because almost all my friends were in the same classroom as me. In recess we hangout at the benches or walk around the school. After school we went to our friend house because she was very sick. When we got of her house we went to my house to do our homework. The phone was ringing I answer and it was my mom. She told me that she was going come and pick me up, to take me to LA. I told my friends and they were sad.

When I came to LA I was happy because I was with my dad, mom, and my little sister. In two weeks I was going to started 3rd grade but I was scared because I didn’t know English. My first day at 10th street elementary school was good but I got a little bit scared. When I entered to the classroom I seat on the back so they couldn’t see me. Some girls came and talked to me they asked me a lot of questions and I answer them in Spanish. The next day they told me if I could hang around with them and I said “yes”. The months past and I could write English and spoke a little bit. My friends and I we always walk around the school. On 4th grade my friends were in the same classroom as me. On 5th grade I used to have the same friends and new friends. On the graduation all the girls wear dresses and the boys tuxedos. My years on elementary were very good.

*best times*

My best times at school were when I was a little girl. I would sometimes be
doing what I want. Also because in 1st grade we use to do a lot of creative things and had lots of fun with my friends. I learned lots of knew things. The teacher also did raffles. People got too choose what they want. Like a note book, a pencil, book, or something else they wanted.
We did creative things in first grade. Like popcorn necklaces. Sometimes had free time. Like playing around. We had parties. All of us had lots of fun. My 1st grade teacher was Ms. Rogers. She was tall and skinny. She was always there if we needed help others and me on our work. One thing was that she would always tell us to memorize a poem and if we knew it all she would give us a prize. But only the ones who wanted to say the poem out loud. I mostly remembered it because she would give every body a chance.
Another thing was that in 5 de Mayo every body had to practice. So that day in a hot day in 5-de mayo everyone did a good job. We had to dance in front of the teachers, and students, also parents. I was so nervous I thought I was going to mess up. But every body clapped. In the 3rd grade it was pretty awesome because my teacher Ms. Solomon gave every body treats on Friday or sometimes every day. We did little work but easy. She was a cool teacher. The last day of school she gave me a radio of an e minim it’s blue and still have it. It’s my memory from the 3rd grade year. I laughed and had fun. My teacher was short and chubby also cool. I was always behaving in that class. Id wish to go back to my elementary because I miss all the fun I had with my friends.

MY BEST DAY AT STEVENSON M.S.

My best day in Stevenson Middle School was when I first became a 8th grader. I thought I was going to be all that. But then I had decided that I don’t want to be a little showoff. So I began how I’m really am. I got o know new people. New girls. I became friends with them, and I started talking to them. After that two weeks later I saw this beautiful girl. So I went and introduced myself, to her. She told me her name was Monique. So we sat down, then started walking around and she gave her number. I started calling her everyday at 8:00 in the night. We got to know each other more. I’ll walk her to class then I found out she had a boyfriend. So I felt kind a of sad. One day later I told her that I was in love with her. She didn’t believe me at first. So I went ahead and proved it to her. Then she believed me. Then one day I was going to get in a fight with him because he saw us having fun and he had got jealous. Then I was walking her and he hit me in the back of the head. I was going to hit him back but Monique got in front of us and I couldn’t hit him back. At lunch I was going to get him back but he got scared and left because he didn’t wan to fight. Then they broken up, and ne week later me and Monique got together. We have a fun time together and we’ve been together for one month, three weeks, and two days. And now we are still having fun together

My Last year in Elementary

I went to Eastman Elementary School the principal was Ms.Davalos and as I know right now she is still there it was the last year for me as a 5th grader. There were a lot of dances and I would’ve gone to all of them and it was fun. There wasn’t one dance that I would’ve missed. Ivy was my best friend I had her for my class our teacher was Ms.Flores, she was a nice and cool teacher. She would’ve made “quesadillas” in the class and we would’ve bring the salsa but before being with Ms.Flores I was with Mr.Salcedo. On October 5th or 7th I moved with Ms.Flores but I wasn’t the only one it was me and 4 other friends of my. When I moved to Ms.Flores class they were making “quesadillas” and the students brought different kind of salsa’s and we just got there and we just started eating with every one. The “quesadillas were delicious and the salsa’s were so good too but some were spicy and some weren’t. It was the last week we graduated and we went to field trip’s and the last day we went to the cafeteria we ate pizza then we ate cake. Then they gave us a picture frame and a pin of graduation and it was fun and at the same time sad that I was leaving.

A phsyco day

A psycho Day One day I was burning hot , because my mom made so mad , that I felt my brains were coming out. I really wanted this toy that every stupid kid had in this dumpster school named Euclid. So my dad dropped me off in his shinny blue truck. I slammed the slippery , shinny door. Then I was walking to my class pushing all the little bucked tooth kids .The stupid nasty painted kaka brown door was wide opened . Then the stupid teacher was talking like if she wasn’t the stupid slut from the corner . I take a seat and sit there like if I was nothing was happening . The teacher says in stupid voice , come and sit in a nice perfect circle . And share the nice toy you have . I got so mad that he became my next enemy . After that lady sees that I don’t have nice cool toy . She comes walking to me like if she was walking in Americas next top model . Then she sits down next to me in a flirty way . My mind was just full of ways how to kill this lady . After she started saying all these stupid things . I stood up and said , shut
up you got dam lady why don’t you just go back to the corner where you belong . She ran to the phone like a stupid lady , to call the principle . I knew the principle was coming so I got this old chair and threw it to her . the principle comes in takes me by the hair to his office . He calls my parents , so then I got transferred to another school named Lorena street school.
