Going for a Walk

One summer morning I woke up and looked out the window. The sun was shining bright. I went to go eat breakfast. After breakfast it was time to get a walk. I got my tennis shoes on. I opened the door. It was so so sunny. When we went to the walk my brother called his friends to come. The sun shined on the path. Boom, boom, boom my shoes made sounds along the path. While I walked along the path the sun was shining right by you. I saw a cat. It was black and white. It was so little. Bye bye, I said. I thought it would fun to fun the whole time but I got tired. I stopped to take a brake. I was stretching. I pretended I was the worlds best runner. Even my sister pretended. I saw a turtle in the pond. It was fun when I was watching the fish. When we got hungry I remembered that we had some snacks. I took the bag of snacks. I got the chips to eat, chomp, chomp, chomp. We had fun and took a break. We were talking about what happened. We were all eating popcorn. We went to the park. I was playing volleyball. It was fum. After that I was picking up trash to clean up the playground. It got clean. We went to get ice cream because it was so sunny. My sister was jumping in the mud. Splash, splash, splash. It was a good day! We saw a deer. We sat down to watch the deer. It played around the field. We went to the park. In the park we made a sand castle. It full down. It was so fun.

One summer morning I woke up and looked outside our tent. There were gray clouds. I went to ask my dad to go for a walk. We went walking in the leaves. They went crunch, crunch. The squirrels were running up the trees too fast. We ran and we stepped in a puddle. It went splash, splash, splash. I walked slow. We stopped for a second, we looked up at the sky. I felt a poke at my leg. I looked down at my leg, it was a sticker. I just took it out. I thought it would be fun to run. My legs were getting tired. I stopped to take off my shoes. I pretended that I was climbing a mountain. I picked up dirt and I put it in the hole. I said to my dad, Thank you for taking me on a walk. Can we go tomorrow dad? So we did and that is that.

One day I woke up and looked out my window. I saw snow! On October 8th. I could not go outside because I was ready for A+. When I was in my car I looked out the window and looked at the snow. When I got to A+ I wanted to go in the snow but I couldn’t so I went crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. I was on the sidewalk. My feet stayed on top. When I went out to recess, I looked for snow. I found some! It was with my friends so I went to play. I thought it would be fun to make a snow mountain but my friends didn’t so we made a family out of snow. It was time to go in. So we crunched it. It was fun to make the snow family but I wanted to make a mountain. I looked at a rock. It was cool. Making the snow family was fun. I will never forget that day. I wanted to keep some snow but I couldn’t. So I said good-bye to the now until another day.

One summer morning I woke up and looked out my window. The sun was shining. After breakfast I put my clothes on. Then I went outside. I was almost there. I was excited. Finally, I was there, I was at the Mississippi River. I looked around for some rocks to throw in the river. I found some. Spash, splash, splash, splash, I threw them in. I thought it would be fun to look for some more. Then I stopped to look at the river. Then I started to walk home. I had a fun time after I went home. When I got home I told my mom I saved a rock for my mom.

The Best Walk Ever

One summer morning I woke up and looked outside my window. The sun was peeking through the trees. I saw a bird high about the trees. After I was done eating I put on my shorts and ran outside. My yard was as green as a tree. Swosh, swosh, swosh my shoes left a neat track on the grass. My shoes were wet from the grass. I stopped for a second to watch a turtle cross the yard. I found the baby turtle so I picked it up and set it by its mother. I thought it would be fun to ride my bike. But I fell. I stopped to check my knee. I got back up and pretended that I was a famous bike rider! I saw that a rock looked like a heart. I pout the rock in my pocket. I made sure I said thank you for helping me up and taking me on that adventure. Before I went to bed I looked at the rock one more time and put it on my dresser. It reminds me of my great grandma who died.

One summer morning I woke up and I looked out the window. The sun was bright. I closed my eyes. It was fall, I got dressed up. I ran to my mom and dad’s room. I said can we go hiking. We ran. I saw birds, they were tweeting. I said, “Wow!”
We got to the hike. The wind was blowing. My feet went click, click, click. The path was long and I saw a bird. I saw a stick in the grass. I thought it would be fun to run. I got tired of running and stopped to sit down. I pretended that was the king. Then I climbed a tree. I jumped off the tree. I grabbed a leaf and put it in my pocket. We ran home. The leave dropped out of my pocket. I went out and I grabbed some more and put them in my pocket. I went to sleep, I dreamed about more leaves. I got out of bed and made a big pile of leaves. I jumped in the leaf pile. I woke up, the leaves were gone. I ran to my jacket and checked my pocket and it was gone. I ran back outside. I chased after some leaves. I stopped and the leaf stopped. I touched the leaf but the wind blew it away and I ran and ran. I was tired of running. I walked home. I sat down on the sofa. I was so hungry. I made cookies with my mom. It was fun. I jumped up and down. I took a nap on the sofa. I heard a noise. I woke up. The cookies were done. I ran to the kitchen. I said, yum! My dad smelled the cookies, he said yum. “Mom makes good cookies”, I said to my dad.

Walking to the Duck Pond

One summer afternoon I went for a walk. We were walking to the duck pond. I stepped in a mud puddle. Step, step, step. I left mud tracks. Stopped for a couple of minutes to talk to a friend. I found a huge stick. I started to get thirsty so I stopped to get my water bottle from my dad. I started to go home. When I was half way home my feet started to get cold. I finally got home.

Snow!

One winter morning I looked out the window and saw snow! Everything was covered with snow! I went over to my friends house to see if they could play in the snow! After breakfast I put on my snowsuit and laid with my friend in the snow. We threw snowballs at each other. We looked up the path, we saw more snow! Smuch, smuch, smuch smuch, my shoes sank in the snow. I walked with my feet pointing backwards! I stopped for a second to watch an eagle land on a tree. I found a snow man named Bob! I thought it would be fun to throw a snowball at my neighbor but I missed! I stopped to take a pop in the face (I took a drink of pop). I pretended I was a famous snowball thrower. Bam! I started to go back home I saw a rock. I picked it up. I made sure to thank my parents for letting me play with my friends. Before I went to bed I looked in my pocket. My rock was gone. I cried. My mom told me it was fine so I stopped crying and I went to bed. The End

One day I woke up. It was a beautiful morning. I looked out of the window. My mom and dad and I went for a long walk. I had my skateboard with me. We walked to the skateboard park, it was so cool. It was awesome. Thank you mom and dad. You guys are awesome! I love you guys! We forgot my sister. She called my dad. She was worried. My sister said, “Where were you guys?” My mom said, “We are sorry that we forgot you. When we got home I put my skateboard in the garage. Then I asked my dad if we could go to the skate park tomorrow. We did and we had pie for breakfast. That was good pumpkin pie.

The Leaf Walk

After school in the fall I went for a walk. I looked at the trees. The sun was coming through the trees. I saw my driveway. The trees were very tall. Tap, tap, tap, I walked across the road. I stopped at the other side to pick up a leaf. I climbed up a rock because my feet were tired. Then I jumped off. I turned to go home. It was fun. Before I got home I looked in my hand. The leaf was crumpled. I knew it was just a leaf. I can remember it.

One summer morning I was walking in the woods. I looked inside the building. It was fresh. I saw a fox in the woods. I put on my socks and my shoes. There were big big big trees. It looked spooky but I wasn’t scared that much. I saw somebody right in front of me. They were riding a bike. It was a she and I said hi and she said hi back. I said thank you. I was somewhere. I was scared. I found apples and berries. I ate them. I was harry and I found a little light behind me. I ran and ran. I was almost there and I wasn’t scared anymore. I was half way there. I was a little more. I looked down the path I was on. I was happy because I was almost out of there. I was tired. I was finally out. I was walking on the path and there was sweat all over me. I was very tired. I was finally home.

One early summer day I looked through the trees. I opened the door. I ran through the lawn. It was wet. I walked over a hill and went over a road. I walked along the road. My mom followed behind me. We were going to Andrew’s Park. Stomp, Stomp, Stomp. I tripped on garbage, my hand got scrapped. I found a rock in the green grass. I tried to skip it. It didn’t go anywhere. I asked if we were there. She said no in a calm voice. “Come on!” I exclaimed. I pretended I was there. My mom ran over my toe. “OUCH!” I screamed. I asked my mom if I could run and she said yes nicely. I picked a flower and ran. I stopped and went down the slide. “Weee!” I declared. I looked at the flower. It was squished. I cried. My mom cheered me up. She picked another one. “Thank you,” I said calmly.

One autumn night I went toad hunting. I had to go back. My mom told me I needed a sweater. It was cold. The wind had picked up. I could not stand it. It was very scary to have such a big wind. I kept going. It was getting harder. All of the sudden it seemed that everything got better. Then things got worse. I thought I heard thunder. I tried to get out but it was no use. I had to get out of there. It was getting late. I have to think fast. Suddenly I had an idea. I remembered that I had a pocketknife in my pocket. I also remembered the way I came. I went that way, it was actually useful. When I got home I was soaking wet. I went upstairs and went to sleep.

One fall evening I went for a walk. I looked at the sun. It was setting. It was pretty. My shoes made a scratchy noise. I was with my family. We stopped at the stop sign. I found a rock. I threw it in the road. It was fum. I was almost night time. It was scary. It was fum. I was way ahead of my parents. I pretended I was in a marathon. Finally I was at home. I went to bed. My dream was that somebody smashed my rock in the road. I woke up. The rock was still there.

One fall morning I went for walk and looked outside. Leaves had fallen during the night. Leaves covered the ground. After breakfast I got my rake outside and jumped in the leaves. My pile was piling in the yard. I raked the yard so that there was a running path. SCRUNCH, SCRUNCH, SCRUNCH my body sank into the leaves. It left a sign of my body. I made a leaf angel. I found an old rake. I used it for raking. I thought it would be fum to get my friend and have a leaf fight but he was much better. I stopped to take a rest. I climbed out of my pile. I picked up the old rake and started raking. I told my parents thank you for letting me go outside. Before I went to bed I went to the garage, the old rake was not there. I went outside and it was on the ground. I dreamed that the leaves covered the whole yard. I woke up and my dream was true. I went outside to play with my friend.

One winter morning I woke up. I looked outside the window. It must have snowed last night. I went downstairs. I ate breakfast and then I put on my boos, mittens, snow pants, and hat. I went outside. I walked to the park. I stepped in a puddle. Splash, splash, splash. I made stripes and then dragged my feet in the snow. I made a long line. I stopped. I heard a bird. It was a blue jay. I climbed the tree. The tree wiggled the bird off the tree. I jumped off the tree and a big pile of snow fell plop on my head. I thought it would be fun to join my cousin in a snowball fight but they hit me hard so I went to the bench. I sat there for a while and then I got up. I pretended I was a mountain climber. I climbed a great big snow hill and I slid down the snow hill. I made snow angels and a snow man. I went inside. I told my mommy all about my adventure while my mom was taking my socks off. When my mom was done with diver I went downstairs. I ate dinner for a little while. I went upstairs. I changed my clothes. I checked my pocket. My snowball was melted. I was sad. I told my mommy and she said it was ok. So I went to sleep. I dreamed that the snow had melted. When I woke up there was new snow. So I went to change my clothes. I went downstairs I ate breakfast. After breakfast I put on my winter boots, mittens, scarf and hat and I went outside to play with my cousins.

One Hawaiian morning me and my mom and dad went across the road and across a sidewalk on the the greas and there was some birds on the grass. As I walked on the grass the a sound like a purr in their neck. I ran and threw sand as I ran across the sand. I threw sand and kicked sand up. Then I ran to the ocean and I as was not running long, I fell in three seconds into the ocean. I landed on a beautiful shell but the waves took it back. I thought it would be fun to look for it but I stopped to take a rest. I sat on the sand but there was a big wave that took me away. I pretended that I was a surfer. There was a surf board and I leaned on it but I dropped in the ocean. I felt a slippery rock. I picked it up. It was a green turtle that about to stick its head out. Then a big wave hit me and my pants were filled with sand. I went back to the ocean. It didn’t help. It happened again. I was so cold. I went to the Jacuzzi to warm up.

One summer morning I woke up and looked outside. The leaves were falling on the ground. I out on my hiking boots and went outside. I went outside and took a walk to play in the park. I climbed a tree. Scitch, scritch, scritch my boots were dragging. My dad said to not get my shoes dirty. I was hungry. I stopped for a second to watch a a robin put an egg in a nest. I found a baby bird. I could it to play with my sister. I thought it would be fun to make it to the top of the mountain. I started to get tired. I stopped to take a rest. I walked down the side of the mountain. I wanted something to remember this hike with. I picked up a rock and put it in my pocket. I made sure to thank my parents for taking me on this hike. I played in the sand with my family. It was almost dark so we went home. The next morning my sister woke me up. Today I am going to school so I brush my teeth then I eat breakfast. I come to the class and write the words. Then we go to the calendar. Then I read all by myself. Then my dad picks me up.

Once summer morning I woke up. The sun was in my eyes. I saw birds were chirping and I ate breakfast. I went to open the garage door. The wind was in my hair. When I went down my driveway it was hurting me. I needed a break for a while. But I still went. The trees were in my mom, dad and brother’s faces. When we got to the duck pond click, click went my wheels. We went o the park so we had to ride up the hill and I stopped to take a breath. I pretended that I was a Champlin Park group with my family. I rode down the hill and it was steep. It felt like I was on a roller coaster at the state fair and I said to myself, I like the pond. After I went to sleep I watched TV. I brushed my teeth. I said good night to my mom. I said I love you and she said good night and I went to bed.
