Native American Report

Native Americans had a different life than us a long time ago.  They lived in teepees made out of buffalo skins.  They would take steam baths to keep clean.  The people used sign language with other tribes.  The men smoked medicine pipes to keep healthy, stay calm, and in religion.  The Native Americans played games too, like shinny with a clay puck covered in beads and a long stick. 

The Native Americans get food just like we do.  They had to hunt buffalo.  The Indians ate adn used all of the buffalo.  The men would take two or three buffalo.  Then they would shoot them with arrows in the rear and drive them off a cliff.  They were not able to farm because of the land.  Instead they picked wild berries.

Baseball

    Once there was a family that was almost never home.  The mom worked at a marshmallow factory five days a week.  The dad worked at a fire pit factory also five days a week.  Troy, their son, plays travel baseball three or four days a week for two and a half hours a day.  Susie, their daughter, is in first grade and goes to ballet, tap and jazz two days a week for one hour.
    Just two weeks after school started Troy and his friend Justin and the rest of their team made it to the play offs.  They had to play five of the best teams.  And if they won all of the games they would play the team that won last year's championship.

   Finally they won the championship.  That night they celebrated by roasting marshmallows and playing board games.  Troy was happy to spend time with his whole family.  The end

Tall Tale

      Once upon a time there was a very strong man named Henry.  Henry worked on rail roads. Henry could pound a stake in the ground with one whoosh of his hammer.
    One day when Henry was hammering stakes a very tall man named Gorden challenged Henry to break through a wall half a mile long.  
    Gorden said, "If you don't break through this wall before me, I get to use my machines.  If you beat me you can still use your hammers, deal?"
    "Deal," said Henry.
     The next day Henry and Gorden waited to get started.  Henry had two hammers and Gorden used machines.  At twelve o'clock Gorden and Henry started to break through the wall.  It took 
Henry an hour and a half to break through the wall. It took 
Gorden two hours to break through the wall.  Gorden got so mad that he hurt Henry with a gun and killed him.  But from then on they used hammers.

Fixing the Road

Today Tanner and I just watched the construction site.  There were three trucks, a skid loader , a dump truck, and a jackhammer truck. The jack hammer truck tore up the rode into big chunks.  Fun fact: the cement is over two feet long.  Then the skid loader picked up all of the big  chunks of cement.  Then he would dump his load into the dump truck.  Then when the dump truck was full that driver would go and dump it somewhere else.  And then they would do it all over again.

Junior's Adventure

One day the extremely fat baby was born!  After 3 years he had a mini power chair that shot extremely large missiles.  One day Junior      
was taking a nap when he got a dirty diaper. So he got a new diaper. After that he had a mission to go on.  He got in his chair and went to Walmart. he went to the baby section and with his electronic arm he grabbed the package that said extra large diapers/extra white!  Then he went home and maybe put them away. Then went back to sleep.
