Grade 1

How Much I Know About Space I had just gone to Chobot Space and Science Center. When I got there, I didn’t even know one planet in our solar system. Soon I learned all eight planets in our solar system. I learned what the first rocket ship looked like. I learned how to land a rocket ship. I had two lessons. The lessons were fun. My favorite class was space class.

Sweet Spring Spring is sweet because we can go boat riding, and bees come and take honey out of the flowers. I feel good because it is very, very, very hot outside, and I can go on the swings. The best part of spring is that my family can go to the beach.

Parrots Parrots are colorful. They have different colors like blue, red, black, orange, green, yellow, and white. Parrots live in cactuses, nests, and underground holes. Some parrots eat roots, and some eat nectar and seeds. They have different bills. Macaws (a kind of parrot) crack things open. Other parrots dig up roots and bulbs from the ground. There are different kinds of parrots, but they all lay eggs. Parrots are pretty birds.

Happy Easter Once there was a hen. The hen was very lonely. Then she laid some eggs. They were not ordinary eggs. They were colorful. On Easter the chicks hatched. It was their birthday! The hen was not lonely anymore.

Leaf Person One morning, I turned into a leaf person. I went outside. A wind blew me away—far away. Another heavy, heavy wind blew me everywhere in the whole world. It never stopped! Then it blew me to outer space. I was floating in space. I went to Mars, but I saw nothing. I went back to Earth. I didn’t know where I was, so I went on a rocket, back to space, to the moon. When I landed there, there was nothing but crust, holes, and craters. Then there was another special wind. It was special because it blew from land to space. I was floating in space again!
