1st PLACE

On March 1st, my mom gave birth to a baby girl. She was named Kohana

 

That's the day I became a big brother!

It's a lot of work being a big brother, sometimes I help change the diapers

.

Sometimes I get her bottle for her

Sometimes I rub her belly so she doesn't cry

Sometimes I read her a story

But a lot of times, I kiss her. I love being a big brother

1st PLACE

Once upon a time there was a hilitai that lived in the halom tano. His name was Hanom Hilitai. He was happy there every day.

But one day the dwendes played a trick on him. They dug a hole and covered it with coconut leaves.

Hanom Hilitai wanted to swim at the beach. WHile he was walking to the beach he fell into the hole. He couldn't get out of the hole. He said, "Help! Help!"

Then his friend Kiko Koko was walking by the hole. Then Kiko Koko heard Hanom Hilitai saying "Help! Help!"

So he weaved some coconut leaves into a rope. He put it in the hole and told Hamon Hilitai to grab onto the rope. Then he pulled the rope.

Hanom Hilitai said thank-you to Kiko Koko.

It was a beautiful day. The ducks were swimming hapily in the lake. In a tree by the lake, there was a nest of bees. The bees were waiting for their newest arrival. The queen bee was having another baby. The bees were buzzing around getting things ready

His mom, the queen was going to teach him ho to fly. But Ben would not fly because he was afraid. His mom kept tryinh to get him to fly. But he didn't want to fly. "You'll know when you're ready," said his mom.

One day Ben was walking, he met a caterpillar. He said "Hi my name is Ben Bee."The caterpillar said "Hi, my name is Charlie Caterpillar." They became friends. Charile asked Ben why he never flies. Ben told him tha he was afraid to fly.

They were having fun playing, when a blue bird flew down and took Charlie away. Charlie shouted "Help! Help me Ben!" Ben was so scared he didn't know what to do. Ben remembered what his mom told him.

Ben had to help his friend Charile. He started flapping his wings and flew as fast as he could. Ben started stinging the bird until it let Charlie go. Charlie was falling down fast.

Ben zoomed down and caught Charlie on his back. "Whew!" Said Charlie. "If you didn't save me from that bird, he would have eaten me." "I wouldn't let that happen to my best friend," said Ben. He took Charlie back to where his hive was.

Ben tols his mom what happened. The queen was so happy she hugged her son. From then on, Ben was not afraid to fly anymore. And Charlie got free rides from Ben.

Once upon a time there was a young girl named Michelle. Michelle loved to go to art class every saturday. She learned how to make clay models, draw and paint. Drawing was her favorite. But Michelle had one problem, she only liked to draw girls.

One day Michell's art teacher, Mrs. Pen gave the class an assignment. She said, "I don't want pictures of people, I only want you to draw something about nature.

Mrs. Pen told the class that their pictures would be framed and displayed on gallery night.

Everyone in the art class started talking excitedly about the wonderful news, everyone except Michelle. She just sat there thinking about how she could complete the assignment if she couldn't draw girls.

Michelle turned to her friend may and said, "How can I possibly do this assignment?" May said, "Don't worry, it's not due for another whole week. Maybe you'll get tired of drawing girls.".

The next day Michelle's dad woke her and told her that they were going to start her drawing. They went out into the backyard where her dad set up an easel and charcoal.

After thiry minutes she was done. Guess what she drew. She drew her mom in the garden! Dad laughed and said, "Try again, but this time just draw the garden. Okay, Honey?"

After thirty more minutes Michelle was done. This time instead of drawing just the garden, she drew only her mom! Dad laughed and laughed.

Suddenly Michelle had a wonderful idea. She whispered to Dad and he said, "Good thinking, Honey!"
So this time Dad took Mom's place in the garden and Michelle started drawing. Thirty minutes later her drawing was finished.

Mom said, "What a wonderful drawing of the garden, but where is your dad?"
Michelle said, "Mom, Dad is not a girl. I hate drawing boys.
