George Washington  as you know, was our first president of the United states. George was born in a little red brick house built by his father on Oyster-shell hill. His mother taught him to read and write, and soon enough, George Washington was now tall and old enough to saddle his own pony. When George Washington died, there was much sorrow, because their leader, George Washington, had died.

Rebecca and the Movies   is a exciting book about a girl named Rebecca  going to a movie studio  because it's her birthday!!! Rebecca is turning ten, so her mom's cousin decided to take her to the movie studio where he works and actually gets to act in a movie! Rebecca was born in 1905, and now she is ten so now it is 1914.  The best part in it to me is when she gets to actually act in a moving picture! (You know, no sounds in the movie just exaggerating and pretending to speak in the movie.)

I like to memorize poems so I decided that I should post some on my blog, so....... here is one of my poems that I memorized.   The Jolly Miller by Robert Louis Stevenson. There was a jolly miller, lived on the river Dee. He worked and sung from morn till night no lark as blithe as he. And this is the burden of his song for ever used to be, I care for nobody--- no! Not  I, Since nobody cares for me. That's one of my favorite poems.

I love the bobbsey twins series because there all about mystery stuff. Here is a section of  The Bobbsey Twins On The Sun-Moon Cruise from the book. "Nan's comment about the writer of the mysterious letter sent a shiver through her listeners. Bert agreed that the person might  indeed be on the S.S. Hale. "Maybe he works on the ship," Bert said. "He could be part of the crew."  That was a section of  The Bobbsey Twins On The Sun-Moon Cruise .  One of my  favorite parts is when Flossie she slips when she is boarding the S.S.

Jungle Drums is written by Graeme Base. Ngiri is a small Warthog in Africa (or something like that) that is the smallest Warthog in Africa (or something like that) named Ngiri. This is a section of the book right below this paragraph. "Tired of being teased, Ngiri heads across the River to play with the other animals. They are arguing among themselves about who is the most beautiful. They turn and stare at Ngiri. "No spots?" laughs Chui the Leopard. "No stripes?" whinnies Punda the Zebra. "Look at those silly little horns!" Snorts Kifaru the Rino "He hasn't even got a trunk," Trumpets Tembo the Elephant. "Or a neck," scoffs Twiga the Giraffe. " Isn't he the ugliest thing you ever seen?" crows Ndege the Crested Crane. "And small too!" They all laugh out loud. Ngiri heads for home. (Back cover description)

"Tis thine to dress the vale anew, In fairest verdure bright with dew; And harebells of the mildest blue, Smile in thy way; Then let us welcome pleasant spring, And still the flowery tribute bring, And still to thee our carol sing, O lovely May! Now by the genial zephyr fanned, The blossoms of the rose expand; Their charms display; The air is balmy and serene, And all the sweet luxuriant scene By thee is clad in tender green, O lovely Ma...

I like the book My Sister Says because the little sister(I don't know here name. The book didn't say) thinks that her daddy will bring her a dragon. Here is a  paragraph from the book it says, I would ride it up Broadway and down Fifth Avenue.(The little sister says if she had  dragon)People would say,"Give us a ride!" And I would say, "Yes, for a penny." Then I could get daddy a present. And if a policeman yelled and said "Get that dragon out of the street!" I would go to the mayor and talk to him. The mayor would say, "What a fine idea, my dear!" And he would hang a medal around my neck so no policeman could yell at me.  That was a paragraph from the book My Sister Says .
