My Poem About Me

       My name is Karina,
I used to want to be a ballerina.
Pink is my favorite color,
I am a pretty good actor!
My favorite animal is deer,
God is my only fear.
I am a girl,
and my brown hair had lots of curls!
I am ten years old,
my favorite flower is the Marigold!
My birthday is in December, with lots of snow,
and that's almost all about me! Now you know!




           The End

My Trip to the Sharp Farm

November 6th, 2013 I went to a place called the Sharp Farm. I learned about Pilgrims and History.



               First we went to a classroom and met a man named Bill. Bill had a good sense of humor.
He told us that everyone in the room will be participating in his class (including the adults). We all sat down on a bench. Bill got two volunteers. The girl was Olli and the boy, Joe. They dressed up in pilgrim hats. Bill said that a woman in the pilgrims has to have lots of endurance, a man has to have incredible strength. We learned about these plants called the three sisters. The three sisters are Corn, Bean, and Squash/Pumpkin. We also learned that half of the pilgrims died in one year. They had a really bad diet. Corn Mush all day. We learned that in the second class. Their ship was called the mayflower. Afterwards we went outside, and we played some games. In one game, their was a group of kids called the cats. The kids that were not cats had to run from hay bale to hay bale, without getting caught by a cat. You would become a cat if you got caught. I loved that game, but I became a cat on the FIRST round! Afterwards we learned about Indians/Native Americans. They died because the pilgrims brought plague to them. Afterwards we went for a hay ride! It was pretty awesome. Then I went to the corn maze. A little girl got lost from her mom. She cried afterwards. Then I hung out with the goats a little. Afterwards we went home. I had a great time in the Sharp Farm. My favorite part was the goats and learning about native Americans. I would like to go back there again some time sooner or later.

The Dark Forest (part 4)

"Brooke? Brooke? Brooke where are you?!" Charlotte yelled. "HELP!" She heard Brooke scream. Charlotte ran around but couldn't find Brooke. Brooke's voice was already faded away. "This is hopeless! Why did I come here anyway?" Charlotte asked herself. She tried to find a way out of this forest, and she did. She was the first survivor of the Dark Forest. But there was no hope for Brooke.

The next morning Charlotte immediately called Brooke's mom. "Mrs. Hannah?" She asked. Hannah was  Brooke's mom's name. "Yes, who is this?" Hannah said. "This is Charlotte, we have an emergency." Charlotte. "I was expecting an emergency, because my daughter was not home last night!!!" Hannah yelled at Charlotte. -Uh oh...- Charlotte thought. -I'm in big trouble...- "Yea, I called about that...." Charlotte said. "Where is Brooke?" Hannah asked. "Well, you see..." Charlotte said, trying to come up with an excuse. "Where is Brooke? Hannah asked once more. "We went to the dark forest and Brooke got kidnapped!" Charlotte blurted. "Tell me where Brooke REALLY is!" Hannah was very upset at Charlotte. "I'm telling the truth! You know me, never lying, always blurting secrets!" Charlotte said. It was true, Charlotte never lied, and she could not keep secrets. In her world, lying and secrets were illegal. "Today, we are heading to the dark forest, and we are going to look for Brooke!" Hannah said. "UNDERSTAND?" She added. "Understood." Charlotte said. Everyone knew that when you start an argument with Hannah, you will NEVER, EVER, get the last word.

The Dark Forest (Part 3)

"Aww, don't be such a wimp." Charlotte whispered. As Brooke walked, two yellow eyes watch her steps, from the trees. Charlotte spotted a weird creature. It kind of looked a jackrabbit, but with deer antlers. Strange. Brooke could feel something breathing behind her. That creature with the yellow eyes was right behind her. "Charlotte, stop breathing on my neck!" Brooke said. "That's not me! I'm in front of you!" Charlotte said softly. When Charlotte turned around, she heard a scream that sounded like Brooke....

The Dark Forest (part 2)

"Where to?" Brooke asked. "Let's go to the dark forest!" Charlotte yelled. "NO! Are you crazy?! Whoever goes to the dark forest never comes back!" Yelled an angry Brooke. "Yea, but this time we can try to come back! We can tell everyone our stories about the dark forest! They'll finally know that it's real!" Charlotte said. "Ok, but if we die, don't you blame me." Brooke said, and they drove to the dark forest. It took a really long time to get there. About 2 hours. "Ok, we're here. Happy now?!" Brooke yelled, when they finally arrived. "No, we have to go IN the forest!" Charlotte laughed. Brooke groaned as they stepped through branches and over logs. The dark forest was always dark. Even on happy summer days. Brooke brought two flashlights, and each of them had one. They heard the owls, and some other noises.... Then, when they got deep inside the forest, they heard lots of howling. Lots, and lots, of howling. "What was that?" Brooke said, shivering....

Beware, for this is a Horror story.You might be afraid, so remember, lock your doors at night... 
BEWARE.....






 
One morning, a fifteen year old girl named Charlotte woke up. She tied up her very dark brown hair, letting one hair-ironed bang drop down across her face and put on her khaki colored over-the-shoulder top. The she slipped on her green jeggings, and put on a camouflage vest. She loved to dress like a zookeeper. This morning she was going adventuring with her BFF Brooke. Brooke was really pretty. She always wore a knee length quarter sleeve dress, cowboy boots, and any color tights under it. Today she wore a blue dress, silver cowboy boots, and white tights. One of her eyes was green, and the other was light blue. Her hair was really long and orange. It was straight and it would always bounce when she walked. Purple eye shadow made her eyes pop, and she had bubblegum pink lip gloss. Her nails were painted as a French mani-pedi, and her eyebrows were sharp. She waited for Brooke to pick her up from her apartment, and the doorbell rang. As Brooke and Charlotte walked out the door, they got into the truck that Brooke borrowed from her dad and drove away.
