Thankful Turkey’s Trip to Antarctica By: Claire St. Ignatius Catholic School – 5th Grade - Mrs. DeMouy

One afternoon, Thankful Turkey got on the wrong plane and landed in Antarctica. That was a big mistake because he was trying to go to California and he used all of his pennies on his trip to Antarctica. Eventually, he was starving and was as cold as an ice cube. Thankful Turkey made an igloo to keep himself warm and went looking for food. Then met a lost penguin. Then penguin saw the igloo that Thankful Turkey made and went in and started playing a game with pennies called twenty-nine pennies. Suddenly, Thankful Turkey came back and saw the penguin. They introduced themselves to each other and began playing the twenty-nine pennies game. Thankful Turkey said, “I am going to call you Penny Penguin because you always have pennies on you.” Suddenly, Penny Penguin asked Thankful Turkey if he could help him find his home. So they went to find Penny Penguin’s house and found his parents in front of their igloo worried. Penny Penguin introduced Thankful Turkey to his parents and explained to his parents that Thankful Turkey took the wrong plane and landed in Antarctica. He needs two pennies to get home to California. With no hesitation, Penny Penguin’s parents offered Thankful Turkey two pennies because he helped penguin find them in the cold. Penny Penguin said, “Only under one condition, will you come visit every year Thankful Turkey?” Thankful Turkey and Penguin had become good friends and Penny Penguin was sad to see him go. Thankful Turkey said, “You have a deal!” See you next year friends. Turkey was always thankful for friends.

The pumpkin grows ... by: Mimi St. Ignatius Catholic School Fifth Grade – Mrs. DeMouy

Near the graveyard. Under the spooky tree. Above the crispy brown leaves. Behind the abandoned house. Beneath the glowing moon. Against the blowing wind. Upon the howling wolves. Along the rotten fence. Eighmey 5th Grade, St. Ignatius Catholic School Mrs. DeMouy Thankful Turkey in Greece  Before the sun went down, Overprotective Owl got woken up by a gobble as loud as a lion’s roar. She woke up to find Thankful Turkey. Overprotective Owl asked turkey as she yawned, “What do you want?” “Wait, do you need to go to the ER?” “Calm down! I am fine.’’ said Thankful Turkey. ‘’Hey, while you're here in Athens, Greece let's look around’’ said Overprotective Owl. “I have a great idea! Let's go to the to the museum about the famous author, but first let’s go see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” Overprotective Owl said. “Deal!” they both said. Little did they know that the museum would close early that day. They stayed way too long, and all of a sudden the lights went off. They started to freak out. They both thought oh no. Soon they got out, but Thankful Turkey had to go, so no movie for him. On the plane he thought of what he was thankful for, and that is his friends and books.

2050 By: Louise St. Ignatius Catholics School 5th Grade - Mrs. DeMouy In the year 2050 there will be flying cars, real hoverboards, and an iPhone 30! Flying cars should be invented because I hate being late. If I had a flying car I could just fly myself wherever. Real hoverboards should be invented because we should actually hover not just glide. iPhone 30 should be invented because they make iPhone’s pretty much every year. Hope your looking forward to 2050… because I am.

Thankful Turkey’s Trip to Montgomery  By: Ella   St. Ignatius Catholic School   5th Grade - Mrs. DeMouy Early one morning, Thankful Turkey was in Montgomery for a Thanksgiving Turkey Run. The Turkey Run was going to be held outside the Alabama State Capital. The only way to participate was to bring a live turkey. The people would let the turkey lose and then run and try to catch their turkey. Thankful Turkey was in the 4th lane and the person to catch him was Governor Bentley. Beep! Beep! GO! Thankful Turkey was running for his life. When Thankful Turkey was running around the corner, he saw a goat on the Capital lawn. Of all the turkeys in the race, the goat started to run for Thankful Turkey. Thankful Turkey assumed that the goat wasn’t very happy so he nicknamed him Grouchy Goat. Grouchy Goat was as grouchy as a bear woken up from hibernation. Grouchy Goat followed him across the finish line, down the hill, and into turkey’s house. All of a sudden, they noticed that they knew each other from when they were kids. Grouchy Goat told Thankful Turkey that he only followed him home because he recognized him. Thankful Turkey became thankful that Grouchy Goat followed him all the way home because he would have missed him. Grouchy goat was no longer grouchy so instead he called him Gracious Goat.

**Best Friends ** By: Emmalynn  St. Ignatius Catholic School 5th Grade - Mrs. DeMouy

Once upon a time, there were two friends and their names were Kalena and Evana. Not only were they best friends, but they were also duchesses. They both had brothers (Kalena had two and Evena had one). They both went to the same school, and they had a lot in common. However, one day they got in a heated fight. Kalena said something that made Evena cry. So Evena said, “Maybe we shouldn't be friends, but just for a day and if we can't stay away from each other then we know we are meant to be friends.” So Kalena said, “I agree!” The next day they couldn't stay away from each other. They even traded desk with other kids just to be next to each other. Then at recess, Evena said to Kalna, “We should be friends again, we obviously can't stay away from each other.” Then Kalena said, “That sounds good.” And after that, when they said they were BFFs, it was the truth.

Weather is Dangerous  By: Jake   St. Ignatius Catholic School   5th Grade - Mrs. DeMouy Natural disasters can be dangerous. Volcanoes, tsunamis and floods, and wildfires can kill you. Tsunamis can consume an entire skyscraper. Wildfires burn down forests. A volcano can burn you and put you in the hospital.

Volcanoes can erupt hot magma that can burn you. The magma can also burn down your home. Rocks shoot up out of the volcano and could be harmful. Volcanoes can cause many other types of weather including a tsunami. Most volcanoes are on islands. There are some on the Hawaiian Islands.

Tsunamis are huge waves that can be very dangerous. Tsunamis can move cars, they go about 500 miles per hour, and tsunamis can consume a building. Tsunamis cause huge floods. Tsunamis can wipe out an entire village in just a few minutes. A flood can move a car to a different place than where it was parked.

A wildfire can harm and kill you. Wildfires can burn a forest to ashes. Wildfires are uncontrolled and can consume a house because they spread quickly. They can be caused by human carelessness or by lighting. Wildfires can ignite bushes, trees, and homes.

Volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, and wildfires are not the only natural disasters, but they are very important. They are all extremely dangerous.

Megalodon, Real or Myth Avery Fourth Grade - St. Ignatius Catholic School - Mrs. Goodwin

The Megalodon grew up to sixty feet long, had the most powerful bite and had teeth over seven inches long! It would bite the fins off of its prey. It was also attracted to blood just as sharks are. Its closest living relative today is the Great White Shark. The Megalodon existed 1.5 million years ago. Its teeth were called “Tongue Stones,” and it weighed over fifty tons. It was so big that it ate giant whales. In 1970, a bite mark was measured to be eight meters long on a whale. Today there are still over 95% of the oceans that are unexplored. For this reason, I believe that the Megalodon could still be alive. What do you think? Is the Megalodon real, or is it a myth?
