November Freewrite: Holidays.

I can smell the turkey cooking in the oven and all the other food baking. I absoulty love the holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love Thanksgiving because for as long as I can remember I've gone over to my aunts house to have Thanksgiving dinner. A lot of people show up. One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is the dessert. My aunt makes the best pumking pie! Theres usaually a lot of desserts there like, pumpkin roll, chocolate pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, etc. Then the next day my mom, my cousin, my aunt, and I got black friday shopping, but we dont go at the crack of dawn like most people do.

I can see the snow falling off of the trees outside, you cna probably guess what holiday it is. Christmas! I also love Christmas! Its the time of the year that I see most of my family together. On Christmas my mom goes all out! Shes decorates the christmas tree, inside the house, and outside, also when my family comes over Christmas morning after everybody has opened gifts, she then makes breakfast, then we go to my grandmas and do it all over again!

 In the book, Something Wicked This Way Comes, why does Will's dad act all weird when he sees a paper saying the carnival is arriving?

October Free Write.

You can hear the waves crashing down. You can feel the heat of the sun. When I get older I would love to visit, or even move to California. The reason why I would want to go to California because mainly, of the beaches that they have there. I love the beach and going boggy boarding. Over the summer I went to the beach in New Jersey and learned how to boggy board and I absolutely loved it.

Also California probably has good waves, and eventually I would love to learn how to surf. I also would want to visit, or even move to California because of the weather. I hate the cold weather here. I would rather live where its warm. Also in somewhere in California they have cold weather, so I can go skiing there. A good thing about California is it can be hot in one part of the state then it could be cold in the other part.

The theme in the The Djinn Who Lives Between Night and Day, is that sometime when you lie to someone it could be good to them. The theme applies to the story when one of the characters names, Tayab tricked the mother in saying that her kids where alive when they were'nt. The theme applies to real to real life because people might lie to someone to protect them.

Over the summer I went on vacation with my cousin to Indiana, where my aunt and uncle lives. While we were there we went to two baseball games, one in Chicago and the other in Cincinnati. While we were in Chicago we walked around the city and went sight seeing. At night we went to the John Hancock center, which was where you could look over the city at night. At night its beautiful with the all the lights.

When we were in Cincinnati we went to Kings Island. We also went to a Kenny Chesney concert and Brad Paisley. One day we went horse back riding, bowling, shopping. Another day we went to downtown Indianapolis and went by the Lucas Oil Stadium where the Colts played. While we were in downtown Indianapolis we went to the zoo.

We also went paddle boating down the canal. On our way back home be stopped in Pittsburg. My vacation out to Indiana, would have to be one of my favorites, and I would love to go again.

( Visual Representation of Me) Hi, my name is Makenna I like to go to the beach. For my binder project one of my pictures is of what I like, which is to play softball.

 My second picture is a smiley face because of my personality I would rather be happy than sad.

My third picture is my favorite book and I picked Winnie the Pooh I have just always loved Winnie the Pooh when I was younger.

My fourth picture is of anything I want, my picture is of the Little League World Series I picked that picture because over the summer I watch every game.

My quote is "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is the gift. That’s why its called the present" by, Bil Keane. Those were the pictures I picked to put on my binder.
