Treefest Emily McDavid-Jones Elementary – 4th Grade – Ms. Courtney

In a little town called Treeville, Sonda Squirrel, the mayor was getting ready for Treefest. Treefest was the town's way of celebrating their one-hundred year anniversary. The town was founded in 1916. Rose Anne Robin was in charge of decorating. Her cousin, Anna Marie Robin was in charge of the contests, painting, music, ect. Morgan and Matilda Chipmunk were in charge of refreshments and they also helped Rose Anne with decorating. Sonda was in charge and lead the Treefest Parade.  All of the town citizens helped with Treefest in some way. Anna Marie entered her paintings and sang in the music contest. Morgan and Matilda are sisters and they do practically everything together. That is why they both were in charge of refreshments and helped Rose Anne with decorating. Sonda made the parade wonderful.  Treefest began with the Treefest Parade. After the parade was over, the painting contest began. Then music and other contests followed. All the first place winners won a blue ribbon. Second place won red and third yellow. After all the contests were over, they ate. The food was especially delicious this year, since Matilda made her treenut pie.  When Treefest ended in the late afternoon, Sonda gave a speech about how she enjoyed Treefest. She also said they would have yearly Spring, Winter, Summer, and Fall Fests. Later on that week Sonda allowed everyone to write a statement about what they liked best about Treefest. They were to send it in Town Hall where she would post it to the News Board where everyone would see what the other citizens thought of Treefest.

Blue Eyes went in the water and caught the fish. “Good job Blue Eyes”, said Dino as his stomach started to growl. “Let’s eat”, said Blue Eyes. “Mmmmmmmm”, said Dino, “that was a good fish.” “Yes, it was!” said Blue Eyes. “AND A BIG ONE”, they said together. They laughed. Unfortunately, they were never seen again.

Dino’s mom thought, “It has been 12 years now!” Dino’s mom was worried. “They said that they would be back by now.” Their mom was worried more. Suddenly there was a loud sound. Boom, Crash, Boom, Slap, Kaboom! Suddenly Dino and Blue Eyes came. Their mom was mad and happy at them because she told them to be careful, but they were here.

It was Halloween Day, a little in the afternoon. It was 3:00. I heard a little knock on the wood but it was just woodpeckers. Anyway, I went on with my day. I was in my room playing my game. When I heard a knock, I said “Who’s there?” Nobody said anything. I started getting freaked out. So I took a nap. Then I heard something scratching. I got under the bed. Then I looked out the window. There was a pumpkin head. I heard my mom come in. I said “I saw a pumpkin head out the window”. She said “I was exaggerating”. So I went back to sleep. Then I heard a voice and it said ”Jaden”. I got freaked out, so I locked the front door, back door, window, and my room. This is a Halloween day I will never forget.

The Dishonest Princess Learns a Lesson LaNiya 4th Grade Collins-Rhodes Elementary Once upon a time, there was a princess, she was very dishonest. One day at school, her teacher asked, “Who broke this pencil?” The teacher looked to the princess and the princess said, “I didn’t.” But, everyone else said, “Yes she did! She did do it!” This was only the start.

Tuesday, she broke the teacher’s cup. Wednesday she hit a girl. Thursday she pulled a girl’s hair. Friday, Oh Friday, She spit on the floor!

She was dishonest about doing all of these things. So the teacher called her mother. Her mother became very mad at her. When the princess got home she was in big trouble. She was grounded for a whole month. The princess! She started to cry.

More crazy things happened the next week at school.

Monday somebody let the rat out of the cage. Tuesday, somebody let the hamster out of the cage. Wednesday, somebody let the snake out of the cage! Thursday, somebody let the cat out of the cage. Friday, Oh Friday, somebody let the scary dog out of the cage!

The teacher got so mad she suspended the princess for doing all of these things. When her mom came to pick her up she said, “Now you are grounded for a whole year!”

The princess began to cry because she did not do any of these things this time. The princess had learned not to be dishonest. The princess cried to the teacher and told her she did not do these things. The teacher asked, “How should I believe you? You’ve lied before.”

The princess replied, “I know but, I have learned a lesson to be honest.” So the teacher believed her and the princess went back to school. The End! –
