My Favorite Place
By Cassidy Desrochers
Grade 2, Mrs. Burrill
I took a trip to Florida. While we were there my mom, dad and I went to the pool. It was fun. I went on the top stair and then…SPLASH! dove into the water! I shouted, “Weeeeeeeee!” while I went in the water. Then, soaking wet, I crawled out of the water to go to the bathroom.
After I was done, I jumped back in the pool. My mom said, “Time to go!”
I got out of the pool, grabbed my towel, slipped on my slippers, and then we went back home to my grandmother’s house. It was a very nice day!
How To Take Care Of A Kitten
By Dillyon Siepmann
Grade 2, Mrs. Burrill
It is a lot of work for me because I am the only one taking care of the kitten.
First, you always need to feed the kitten. Next, you always need to wash the dish. Then at night put the kitten in the bed. Put the toys in the bed with the kitten and put the litter box by the bed in case the kitten needs to go to the bathroom. Finally, in the morning give the kitten some food and milk.
I Went On A
Boat Ride
By Zach Conley
Grade 2, Mrs. Burrill
One day we thought about going to Georgia for vacation.
I got to see my friends that live there. It was fun. A couple of days later if we went right we would see blue whales and seals. If we went left we would see fish and alligators. We went left.
We went to a beach bar and had lunch and played in the sand. Dad and I walked very far to try to get fish. It was fun! We saw an alligator. It weighted up to 400 pounds. It was fat. We also saw baby turtles jumping off branches.
After that we went back to my Nana’s house and watched Avatar. Then we went to bed. My brother and I slept where my mom used to sleep when she was a kid. It was a great day!
Fun Town
Splash Town
By Gabe Honeycutt
Grade 2, Mrs. Burrill
This is my fourth time going to Fun Town Splash Town. It is past Bangor. I went last summer. It was very hot outside, but I had so much fun. I went there because my brother, my cousin, and my sister are too small to go to another Amusement Park. You have to be three feet tall or taller to ride the roller coaster. It goes 55 miles per hour. My cheeks flew back. It cooled me off really fast. I was lucky I was buckled in because if not I would have jumped out.
Can I ask you a question? What would you do if you were going 100,200 miles per hour? Would you be scared? I was once we started to go down. I was happy when the ride was done. I don’t think I will go on it again.
The New Elf
By Emma Drew

I can’t believe there’s a new head elf!
Me, Fefey! Here at the North Pole. I’m in charge. I’m actually in charge, I can’t believe I’m the new head elf. Okay, before I forget, I need to introduce myself. Hi, my name is Fefey as you just heard up above. I just got the job of head elf. E-e-e, I’m so excited! What should I do first? I could make the toys, box the toys, or I could wrap. That’s it, I’ll wrap first. After I’ll box the toys. Next I’ll help Mrs. Clause bake in the kitchen. On Christmas Eve I’ll help harness the reindeer and load the sleigh. I’ll even get to take the sleigh for a test spin.
Here it is, the next day, Christmas Eve. I’m so excited! It’s time to harness up the deer. Already done, then it’s time for a test spin. “Okay,” I said. Zoom. “I’m back,” I replied.
“Okay,” stated Santa, “Load up the sleigh.”
“Got it. What next?” I asked.
“Get the candy bag in the sleigh,” he commanded.
“Already on it. I got it done,” I stated.
“Great job, Fefey. You finished all your assignments for the whole day. Now you can have the rest of the day off,” said Santa so I got on the computer.
Now it is night time and everybody is asleep so Santa left in his sleigh. He’s almost done his route. Now he’s done so he yelled, “MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!”
The Ride in Space
By Mikyla Howland
Grade 2, Mrs. Estabrook
Chapter 1 The Freaky Morning
It’s 5:00 in the morning. I wake up, go downstairs and do you know what I saw? A spaceship.
Yep, a spaceship. It was giant and an alien was in it. I was shivering with fear, but Sabra gave me a big bear hug and I felt a little better. Then the alien asked us if we wanted a ride. I was still shivering a little, but I said yes and so did Sabra.
We raced into the spaceship and jumped into our seats. The alien gave us some hot chocolate before we left.
Chapter 2 The Alien’s House
After he did, the alien brought us to his house. His house is on the planet Creature. There were a lot of creatures on the planet. One of the weirdest creatures on planet Creature was the three headed zebra. Finally we reached the alien’s house. “Phew!” He had a pet tarantula. The tarantula had 10 legs. I did not like the tarantula. We had cookies and milk. “Yum,” I said. I started to miss home so we skipped into the spaceship and blasted off. Our moms freaked out.
