      In a state named Kentucky, there lived a boy named Abraham Lincoln. This boy later became a reader, and a lawyer, and later became one of the president of the United States of  America.

      When Abraham Lincoln was 10 he had a best friend. He used to play with him a lot. One day Abraham Lincoln had to move to Indiana. Abraham was really good at making friends quick so it didn’t matter to him a lot. Before Abe’s family moved his mother died. Then Abraham Lincoln and his sister’s life was different, and he was lonely. No one, was there to tell him Bible stories now. Even though his father used to tell him stories he was really busy now. One day his father married another wife. Now Abe had a stepmom, and three step siblings. Abe’s stepmom used to tell him Bible stories, and he really enjoyed  spending time with her. But Abe still missed his mother. 

      When Abraham Lincoln got older he went to fight in the Indiana war. There he led the group of people to win. Then he came back from the war and opened a shop.One day, the ideas from a book changed his whole life. A man who sold a wagon to Abe had left the book the wagon. The book was a law book. He closed his shop and started spending his all time reading that book. Later he became a lawyer and he won many cases. he was also known as a honest lawyer and many people came to him to ask him to fight for their cases.

     One day he went with his senior lawyer to his house. He saw a girl and then fell in love with her. Then because he was really kind and helpful to people, the people decided to support him in his run for President of USA.

     In November 6, 1860 he became a President of USA. Then President Lincoln’s family moved to the White House. During his presidency Abraham Lincoln had to make decisions about freeing slaves or not. Many people were against slavery, but many from the South wanted to continue slavery. This was the biggest decision that President Abraham Lincoln had to make. It also later lead to his death. But Abraham Lincoln was a good president. He made a wise decision and said yes, slaves should be free.

     One day Abe rushed to his home to see his son, Willie because he was very sick. But sadly his 11 year old son died. Later during his presidency his wife wanted to cheer up the president. So she asked him to take her the to theatre. While they were there an actor named John Booth Wilkes shot President Abraham Lincoln. The honoured President Abraham Lincoln who was loved by many people died.

     The work that he had done has been honoured, and in 2018 people still respect him as a good president. He is still known for his Gettysburg Address, “that the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth, helped united the country again.”

         Royal Street party

On Monday, May 21st we had a Royal Street Party lead by Miss Mitchell. Before we started the party we needed to know some information in order to understand what we would be doing. So we watched a May pole dance that was famous in England. Then we went down to the playground and we did the dance. It was really fun.

We also did one more activity that was called Welly Wanging. It was fun. Let me tell you all when I threw the boot, instead of going straight it went to the right.

Later we ate cookies, cake, and popcorn which had been made by our teachers. We sat down and we ate while watching the  high schoolers play kick ball. That was our Royal Street Party experience. It was really fun and we were all thankful for all of the teachers, specially Miss Mitchel who planned this activity.

                                                              Spring Concert

May, 2018 GLCA had their spring concert at 1:00 p.m. The concert was filled with an audience of parents, family,  teachers, and friends. Wait, Wait, Wait! Let’s go back before the concert started. Let’s talk about our practice.

The elementary was working hard  for our concert. We were practicing dance, music, recorder, piano, and drums. It was really hard to practice at the beginning but was now enjoyable as time went on. One of the things that everybody laughed at was when I fell off the stage while doing hand-stand at practice. I also laughed because it seemed funny to me.

When our teacher said it was time for our concert, my heart was pounding. I was so nervous that I was sweating. When we finished the dance I was feeling so, so, so good! Then I was feeling good about our performance.

After we finished our concert we all encouraged each other saying that we did a good job. We meant it. As always it was a great concert and also our last concert for this year.

                        THE IMPORTANT THING

The important thing about a soccer ball is that it is round.

You hit it with your foot,

It is the shape of connecting pentagons and hexagons.

It bounces as high as a wall.

It slams at a goal like a car.

But the important thing about a soccer ball is that it is round.

LIMERICK

In a city named Pan

It was famous for a can

When you go and ask

They will give you a mask

Which you will put on a man.

 

                                                   Limerick

There was a hamster named Clark

Who used to sing in a park.

He used to jump silly

And had a friend named Milly

Who had a dog that used to bark.

Pegasus

rapid , mystical

soaring, neighing, moving

horse, sky, cave, scales,

flaming, killing, flapping,

dangerous, scary,

Dragon

                                                    Summer

Looks like heat waves crawling across the roads.

Sounds like children playing in the park.

Tastes like chilly peppers.

Feels like boiling lava.

Smells like the beach on a sunny day.

Dream War

In the night,

in the dark,

then came the war.

As scary as death,

a Dream War.

At the night it started,

with great lightning.

Then rain,

hard as a rock.

People were howling, crying, and frighted.

Boom, Boom – a sound came from the north.

The sound of canons,

the starting of war.

Floors covered with

red, dark, red.

 Many killed, many aggrieved.

Shaking, touching, calling my name,

my mom?

A Dream?

Finished, it was gone.

I was clammy.

People say ish mish,

haters talking to my sis.

Money on the risk,

fake idols don’t exist.

 

But who cares,

people don’t give dares.

Just complaining on the town’s mayors.

Still who cares?

 

The day was sunny,

but I had no money.

I wanted to go to a beach,

sit there and enjoy eating a peach.

 

So I started from the grocery store.

Then months later I’m no longer poor.

Now I need no more.

Says a person outside my door.

 

I was feeling good,

with the right mood.

People were saying I was rude.

Now I’m in the wrong mood.
