The Nutcracker By Carolina

The Nutcracker was really fun. I liked the beginning. It was really calm, but then the mouse comes and throws the bombs that scared me so much. I almost screamed. Then another part I liked was at the end when the girl is dancing. She looked really pretty with that outfit. It was shinning so beautiful in the light.

About the Nutcraker By A.L

The Nutcraker was really good. I like how they danced. My favorite thing was the building because it was really big and pretty. I like some of their clothes. They were sparkly. The cannon was cool, but it made me jump. The little kids were cute when they did there little dances. It was awesome when they did the backflips.

A Third Grade Memory by Zach

A third grade memory I remember is when I was nine years old I had a bike wreck. Before I wrecked I was going off a jump on my bike over and over again. Then I went home for an hour or two. Then I went back and went off the jump again. After the fourth time I stopped to take a brake. Ten minutes later I got up and got on my bike and went off the jump full speed. I fell off my bike right on to my hand. Three days later I went to get an x-ray. I sprained my wrist, I came close to breaking it. I had to wear a removable cast for about two months. That is my third grade memory.

The Best Basketball Game by Brenda

It was testing day in gym class about soccer and every one looked ready for it but me. So I did my best but my best was not good enough. I missed 5 out of 8 it was terrible. Then the coach said get a ball and everyone ran to get one. Then Shaney and I wear shooting hoops. After five minutes we got bored so we decided to ask the two first guys to play us. And the two guys happened to be Nathen and Alex. As soon as the boys got the ball the game was on. At first we kept to the rules then we just didn't care. Alex was guarding Shaney so I had to run down court and do a lay up. Half-way up my lay up Nathen's foot got stuck around my ankle and I fell on my face. Nathen couldn't stop laughing. Then around the end of the game Nathen's team had the ball. It was then that I realized how fun the game was and how bad we had lost to the two nerdiest guys in gym.

Yeaterday I came to school. I had a pretty good day at school, but when 7th period came around I got nervous because I told my boyfriend that if he doesn't meet me after school then its over between us. I said that because I'm sick of him ditching me. So after school I got really really really nervous. When I got where we normally meet he wasn't there. I was very very upset. I was cryingm and everything. Then I called his friend to see if he was there and he said,"Nate just left about 10 mins ago and he wanted me to tell you that he is sorry." So then I calmed down and waited for about an hour and a half till he got there. He was so happy to see me. He ran up to me and pulled me off the wall I was sitting on and gave me a big kiss. After that we went and got something to eat and just chilled at BK. Then he walked me home and talked to my mom for a min. Then he went home and that was my day yesterday.

The Nutcracker by Senorita Jorge

On December 5, 2007, I took my students to Capitol Theatre to see the ballet, The Nutcracker. All of the students behaved very well - they were respectful and attentive to all the performers. For the most part, everyone had a really good time. The students commented on how much they enjoyed the building, the costumes, and the dances. Almost everyone enjoyed the first half better than the second half. They loved the fight scene between the mice and the Nutcracker's army - especially when they fired the cannon.
