My Trip to The Aquarium

I wanted to go on an adventure for my summer break so one day I took a trip to Adventure Aquarium. I felt happy about going to the waterfront. I had went inside to see the underwater animals. I wanted to see everything there.


In the aquarium I saw sharks, jelly fish, penguins, needle fish, sea dragons. I was excited to see the sharks. I did a project about sharks a long time ago. The shark was bigger than a great white sharks. I think I saw thirty sharks. Some other sharks weighed over 100,000 pounds. I thought the sharks were cool. I wanted to see the sharks in person. I saw people swimming with the sharks in the shark realm. I didn't swim with them because I was too young. You have to be twelve years old or older to swim with the sharks.



Most of the jelly fish were blue and they are called moon jelly fish. The pink jelly fish gave birth. I had a chance to touch them. I touched them with two fingers. They were squooshy.


The penguins stood on a little island around water. They eat fish so they won't die. The had black and white feathers. The penguin had waddled and chattered which means to communicate with other penguins. They made noise by using its beak. Yes, I heard the noise.

The sea dragon looked like a dragon. A dragon can use its wings to fly and breathe.

The needle fish has narrow jaws filled with sharp teeth. I knew they were needle fish because its whole body looks like a needle, a thin tool used to sew. I like the mouth because its like a sword. They might use their sharp mouths to stab their prey. The size of a needle fish is 18 inches long. The predators of the needle fish include a porpoise.



I went to a gift shop to see what was there. I brought some playing cards and a pencil. They were not the regular card size. The playing are six inches tall.

Then, I went home because I saw every thing in the aquarium.




Fancy It!

The Spelling Bee, I Won 1st Place

By: Deron Banks

One day on June15, 2007, when I was in school we were having a spelling bee. There were four spelling bee rounds. When the first round started I felt excited. On my turn I had to spell the word that was given to me. I spelled them out loud. The others lost because they messed up. I won by spelling all the words right. I won an achievement award and a ribbon. Everybody told me, "congratulations". They were happy when I won. I said, "thanks".
















That is the certificate that was awarded to me for being the spelling bee champ.

Here is another way to have a spelling bee...
When the first round starts everyone in the class can write some words on a sheet of paper. Then, we can spell the words when it is our turn. If you spell the last word wrong you should correct the word before it is noticed.

In the second round, we can use the paper like in the first round. In the third round, I can be in first place again. In the fourth round it could be two people in the round to see who will be in second place.
