Hello everyone!
I have not written in a long time. Now I am 9 years old and in 4th grade. I just started school at Brywood elementary and I am in APAAS (Alternative Program for Academically Advanced Students). My teachers name is Ms. Young. She is very nice. I don't think I have told you that I went to Springbrook elementary in Ms. McCubbin's class last year. She is very nice too. I stopped homeschooling and now I am doing public school. My brother, Nirav is homeschooled though. My sister, Naiya also started preschool at the beginning of this year. Her teachers name is Ms. Maryam. She really likes her school but two of her friends graduated to kindergarten this year.
Today I have a day off from school because its a student holiday. We might go to the beach. I like to surf, boogie board and play in the sand with Naiya and Nirav but mostly I like to play in the water with my friends if they come too.
I will be posting a story I am writing later called "The Adventures of Wendy Wilcox". I have barely written a page yet so it might take a long time till I post it. I might post chapter by chapter.

Marietta and the Magical Emerald
This is a story I wrote in Bridges Project Ink writing class. It's about a fairy named Marietta and a scientist named Draco:
Chapter One: The Land of Sunny Maple
Once upon a time, far, far away in the Land of Sunny Maple, if you looked close enough you would see golden, shimmering Almond Castle. Strong, stone towers with clear, beautiful windows stood tall. The castle had wooden steps so lovely they looked fake. It was a lovely place were flowers grew every day. All around it you could see the old sandy-brown trees of Butterfly Forest which blue birds filled in the sunny summer. Next to it you could hear the whistling ocean-blue water of Diamond waterfall as loud of a elephant's trumpet. You could also smell the fresh, syrupy melted chocolate from Bellflower Chocolate Lake. It was a magical place where strange, enchanting things happened, especially when the chocolate plants gracefully grew under the cinnamon-brown lake.
Chapter Two: Marietta
In the land of Sunny maple, there also lived a smart fairy named Marietta. She had beautiful wings with light-pink swirly designs of butterflies on them because she loved how butterflies floated through the air. Her soft rose-pink hair was like a flower blowing in the wind whenever she flew around. When you looked at her you could see her dazzling feet, as smooth as round pebbles with pink toenail polish. She always wore a sparkly dress which was made out of silk and shimmered in the sun when ever she zoomed through the clouds. She also wore a pink barrette which was shaped like a daisy and kept her thin hair out of her lovely face when she played with the butterflies. Marietta always carried a magical emerald seed that could grow into anything she commanded. She hid it in her pouch so that she could make sure no one faced any danger.
Chapter Three: Draco
In the Land of Sunny Maple there also lived a scientist named Draco. His large peach-orange nose smelled his experiments in his lab, and had a wild mustache sitting underneath it. His large, black eyes were like the dark night shining in the silver moon light. When you looked at him, you could see silver-gray hair as spiky as porcupine quills poking someone. He always wore aqua-blue glasses, which looked like the ocean when he greedily smiled. he also wore a sky-blue tie which quickly swung around his neck because it was very heavy. Draco always wanted to steal the chocolate plants underneath the cinnamon-brown Bellflower Chocolate Lake because he loved chocolate.
Chapter Four: Draco's plan
One windy afternoon something terrible happened in the Land of Sunny Maple. It all started because Draco wanted to selfishly steal the chocolate plants away from the lake. First he quietly walked over the bridge as fast as a tiger towards the lake. At that moment, Draco dove into Bellflower Chocolate Lake and speedily dashed down to the yummy plants. He was so happy he danced around the because he now knew he could eat all the chocolate he wanted. Anyone could see that he wanted to do something bad because of his greedy smile. Then he grabbed the sweet plants so quickly he jumped back up to the surface in three seconds. You could see the lake turning into sticky chocolate quicksand mysteriously. And, it sounded as if there was a huge earthquake, shaking the ground very hard. All around him sat the remains of the plants like the leaves and steams. At last, he silently raced back to the shore until he turned around and there was Marietta. There was a moment of silence as they stared at each other. At the same time, there was a feeling of hunger among all the citizens. Instantly, Draco ran away with the valuable plants back to his smelly cottage. Draco felt so happy he could have eaten 100 pounds of chocolate. Draco cheerfully whispered, "Ha-ha-ha! Now I can eat so much chocolate!"
Marietta sadly muttered, "I need to do something and fast!!"
Chapter Five: The Chocolate Plants are Returned
Then at that moment Marietta remembered her Magical Emerald seed, so she grabbed it and flew slowly off to the lake. At that moment , she threw the seed into the chocolate quicksand and shouted "Grow more chocolate plants!!!" She was so happy she could have flew all the way up to the sun. Anyone around could see that she was excited because she had a twinkle in her eyes. In a flash she joyfully flew as fast as a humming bird after Draco. You could see her shimmering wings fluttering 1000 times per minute! And, it sounded as if a giant jumped up and down ten times because her wings flapped really hard. All around her loud noises almost made her fall to the ground but she pushed forward until she caught up to Draco. Then she convinced Draco to give back some of the chocolate plants so he walked back slowly back to Bellflower Chocolate Lake. There was a long moment of silence as Draco gave back the plants. And at the same time the plants started to grow very quickly until they reached the top of the lake. Instantly all the villagers came down to the lake and ate some chocolate cheering for Marietta. Marietta felt so cheerful she could have hugged all the villagers. Marietta kindly shouted "Thank you for giving back the plants!!" Draco slowly replied "Your welcome, but can I keep one? Marietta happily answered "You can. Go plant it!" In the end Draco raced home and ate chocolate. Then they all lived happily after ever.

Swim team
Hi.
I signed up in swim team. The days I do swim practice are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Saturdays I have Swim meets too. Last Saturday I had my first Swim meet.
On that day it was my brother's birthday party. He is six years old now.
At the party I lost my second tooth. I can feel the first adult tooth coming in. Now when I smile I look funny. My mom says I talk funny but I don't think I do.
The day after that was father's day. I painted a frame at an art place and put a picture in it and my brother drew a light house.

Zoomars
Today we went to Zoomars. We saw guinea pigs, rabbits, alpacas, llamas, goats and an ostrich. We rode on horses. There were three sizes, small, medium and large horses. I went two times on the medium one. When my friend fed a carrot to the alpaca, it burped and got carrot all over her forehead. We fed the guinea pigs, rabbits, goats and an ostrich. There was a ball-pit with dried corn kernels in it. There were a lot of babies playing in it. We also went on a train that went around in circles. There was a playground too. First you climb up a ladder then you go across a bridge then go down a slide.

Redwood trees
Hi!
Yesterday I did Ordering Fractions on Khan Academy.
I watched Climbing Redwood Giants. I learned that the redwood trees drink the fog as water and that there are a lot of salamanders in the redwood trees. Salamanders have to be wet so they stay up there. And I learned that the people who want to cut down the trees spray blue paint on the trees.

My PE work sample
Hi!
Every month I meet with my Sky Mountain teacher and talk about what I did for the month and give work samples for Math, History, Science, PE, and Language Arts. This is what I wrote for my PE work sample:
"I am going to Atlanta because my Aunt is having a wedding. I'm doing two dances with my cousins. One of the dances goes like this: first you clap two times and scratch the air two times. For your feet you jog in place. Do that three times. The step after that is when you swing your arms back and forth 14 times. While you are doing that, march in place. Then do the clap, clap, scratch, scratch move again one time and after that, point up and move you hips. Do that again. The next move is when you push down with your arms and kick with your foot. Then do it with your other foot with your arms up instead of down. Then you clap two times and scratch two times. That is the first song in the performance."
I finished The Tail of Emily Windsnap. It's about a girl who turns into a mermaid because her dad is a merman. So she is a mermaid and a human. Her dad went to prison because humans and merpeople are not supposed to get married. Emily found him and talked to Neptune. Neptune said they could take her dad out, but they were supposed to live somewhere else.
I read a book about the penguins that live on the Galapagos Islands. They are called the Galapagos penguins. These penguins are tame. They are not scared of people because we have been nice to them and feed them. Some people hunted them but they were sill friendly The Islands are near the Equator that's why it is hot there. They spread their wings and face the wind to cool off.
Penguins can’t fly because one time they knew how to fly and they flew somewhere. Then they learned how to swim so they couldn’t fly back. When penguin chicks hatch they are gray, fuzzy and blind. The chicks stay with their parents 30 days until they fledge. Fledging means when they learn to swim. Galapagos penguins are 21 inches and almost 5 pounds. The males are bigger but that's the only difference between male and female Galapagos penguins.

Writing class
HI!
Today I had writing class. Here is a story that I wrote called The Story of Lily Rainbownose:
Lily Rainbownose was always being made fun of because her nose was so big and rainbowy, otherwise she was normal. One day she decided to run away. She packed her pj's, her clothes, her toothbrush ....... But the last hing Lily packed was a picture of her mom, dad and sister Silvia Rainbownose. She ran away just then and stomped out the door. She ran to the park but then she said in her mind ''Maybe I should face the bully's.'' So she did. And every one liked her now.
