You are riding the bus to school. You decide to take a

peek in your lunchbox. You open your lunch box and can ‘t believe your

eyes…

You are getting dressed for

school. You aren’t sure what to

wear. You open your closet door

and out pops…

You are fishing with your

friend. You feel a pull on your

pole. What happens next?

You hear a noise under your bed. You bend over to peek under the

bed and see..

You are outside at night. A light

shines down from the sky. You see a large round

circle coming towards you…

The game is tied. There are 10

seconds left of the clock. All of a

sudden.

The king and queen were excited to have a daughter.

They weren’t prepared for

what they saw when they looked

in her bed.

I was putting together my new robot kit. When

suddenly…

All of the bikes were disappearing from our neighborhood. I

started to investigate. I was determined to find out where they had

gone.

I asked my grandpa why the

flowers in his garden are all

purple. The story he told me

surprised me.

When I look back on last summer,

my favorite memory is…

My favorite family memory

is…
