Happy Halloween 3

                           Happy Halloween 3

                                By Devon Bates

          It’s the final chapter in this chapter we will found out what It is, who keeps leaving these notes, what will happen to James, and if anyone likes the word tutum. Since I liked doing this so much I might start doing more of them. Let’s head to part three MWAHAHAHAHA!

          James opened the door to the hallway slowly more careful than ever before. The map seemed to lead through the kitchen he kept a look out for more pages on the way. On the back of the map was another note from ?.  “Don’t mess with anything that wiggles, moves, floats, or anything else around moving in the kitchen.” James started through the kitchen and saw a note he head toward it to find that it didn’t say tutum instead it said “James, turn around and head for the door now it will be your only hope.” James then thought “Why am I listening to these notes its crazy. One wants me to go out the door and the other deeper into the mansion. I think I trust the one to leave.” James turned and head for the entryway.  He got there and on the couch he was sleeping on before was a note it read “James (tutum) I’m sorry that I didn’t explain why you need to go deeper in the mansion and a better reason to listen to me. I’m your father (I am NOT COPYING Star Wars in any way and am not trying to so shush now I have to go back to when I wrote that and fix it) I’m your father’s brother and your long lost uncle Dave.  Trust me please” “WHAT” “I don’t understand this I’m leaving and that’s that bye creepy mansion,” James… yelled. (JAAAMMMEEESSS (VERY ANGRY) WHY)

Then he heard a high screech and a lot of banging noises. Out of the direction the kitchen was came 5 faceless men in servant uniforms. They picked up James before he could move and carried him upstairs.

When up there they took James through a door and into a bedroom in the bed was a giant worm-like thing, it was green and black and had big fangs out of its mouth. It started to talk which made James even more speechless. “James James James I warned you and gave you a chance I really did.  Now unfortunately you must be punished,” said Uncle Dave the worm. James Then screamed his last scream as he was turned faceless and his limbs eaten and replaced.

Well not what I expected to have happen at first, but if I went with my original plan it would have been huge. My favorite part was part one what was yours. Next time will be WAY better, one it won’t be horror and I’ll start earlier than the week of Halloween. Bye and be safe this Halloween oh and watch out for Uncle Dave.

Next story genre: probably fantasy and watch out for next holiday special. (Thanksgiving won’t be there it’s too hard to think of story for that)

           

Happy Halloween Part 2

Happy Halloween                (Part 2)

                                By Devon Bates

                                                                (Again use scary voice at scary part)

          Here’s part two, I had to make it two part for two reasons; one suspense and two it got big I mean two pages around 582 words its bigger than my patriots pen essay. I should write stories more often this is fun, but I won’t write it ill type I like typing better. Any way lets back to the story. Just so you know there might be a part 3 BWAHAHAHAHA.

          James started to open the basement door and thought for a second. “Wait this reminds me of a horror game I saw, “said James to himself (again gahhhhhh stop it James). James looked around thinking if he took something as defense from anything he’d be fine (WHEN IS ANYONE FINE GAHHHHH). He finally found a crowbar and headed for the door again. He started for the stairs after finding a candle to use as light. James got down the stairs, found a light and pulled the chain “light,” said James. As he looked around he saw the heater, but also saw what looked like a note it read, “Anyone who finds this, follow its instructions and nothing else or It will find you easily. If you find another paper look for the word tutum its (Latin for safe). Any other paper that doesn’t have tutum is NOT by me. If you don’t trust me ok I wouldn’t either unless I told you I’ll help you survive.” James decided to trust the paper and looked around then kept reading. “Look behind the heater. There should be the instructions and remember to look for more papers and keep all papers of mine you find” James looked behind the heater and sure enough there were the instructions. “Tutum, number one: Add logs to the heater if you got cold. Being cold is a sign that It is either close or that It is close to waking. Two: go upstairs, even if the basement now feels safe you need to go. Follow the map you find on the pedestal at the top of the stairs.” James went to the pedestal and saw the map. He picked it up and read it “This way, (tutum) follow the red line,” It said. James then took hold of his crowbar and opened the door into the hallway…

          TO BE CONTINUED…. SORRY a new one needs posted so it has to end here sorry!

Think about what might happen to James in the next one and expect more talking to himself in PART 3(THE FINAL CHAPTER)

    

Book Fair Decor

The book fair décor

Brody Willis

                Ms. Travis’s 7^th hour has started making and coloring decorations for the book fair. I and Derek are making a dragon to put on our Christmas tree, to make it look like a dragon peeking out from behind the royal thrown. Delaney and Madeline are making a tiger to display as guardians of the castle.

                So far, we’ve gotten the entire tiger cut out, and were beginning to paint it, and the dragon has all of its teeth and were starting to make eyes and a nose for the head. We think it would be best to have the nostrils on top of the head, but it would also be cool to have them cut out of the head so that light could flow through them. Another idea we’re going to incorporate with the dragon is to have a fog machine and led lights inside the mouth to create a devious and evil look. We’re working tremendously hard and they will all be done before the book fair  

Book Fair Is Coming

Book Fair Is Coming

Abby Summers

The book fair is coming!  I am so excited to be a part of it this year, evenmoreso then I was last year.  Our theme for the upcoming event is Sir Read-a-lot’s castle. We have many brilliant ideas swirling right now. We are in the process of finding our one true and loyal knight. Our knight will have yes, a trusty steed on our family night event. It will be a challenging time for him as he searches the school each day looking for Blaze the Terrible, a dragon.  Blaze will have a signature hiding spot each day, and if we’re fast enough we will snag a picture of him in that spot. The first 3 people each day to come to the learning commons and tell us where he was in that picture get 10 tiger paws. We are also having a bookmark pull during the book fair. The bookmarks will be put into King Author’s rock and if you pull the right one out you get a $5 book fair certificate. We are also having an essay contest for the eighth grade. All girls and boys can do it. You have to write the essay and if you are in the top five for boys or girls you move on to round 2. The next part of the contest is raising money for all for books a donation that raises money and buys new books for schools that have had a freak accident like a natural disaster. The boy and girl that raise the most money will be named our schools King Author and Queen Genre-viere. The King and Queen will have everything that royalty should have. They will have thrones, crowns, and the nicest of robes. I truly look forward to seeing you at our awesome book fair.

Royals in the World Series

Royals in the World Series

Derek Howerton

The royals are finally in the World Series after 29 years in 1985 was the last time they were there. I have watched every game that I could that they were in the post season. They have won by luck in some games and some they won by a lot. The Royals are in the World Series with the Sf, Giants.

          I believe that the Royals are going to win and I hope that they win, even if they win by luck. More people are hoping that the Royals will win against the giants. I wished that the Cardinals were in the World Series instead of the Giants even thought I don’t like the Cardinals I would have liked for them to be in there so we could beat them.
