Summary:

When they go to school the Indian named Little Bear pokes Omri because Omri is just keeping him in his pocket. Patrick shows the headmaster Little Bear and Omri takes back both of them. They go to art and Patrick’s cowboy named Boone draws a picture and the art teacher asks Omri to show her his picture. The art teacher gets amazed and Omri gets excused. He made a promise with Little Bear to by him a Indian woman and gets one and the owner asks Omri to give back Boone and Little Bear and Patrick tells the owner that they’re his. Little Bear shoots Boone with an arrow bot Boone does not die. They lose the key and thy find it under the floorboards. They give the key to Omri’s mom.

Character Evaluation:

When Omri asks Patrick for both of the little men back, I think it was a good choice because Little Bear and Boone didn’t seem as safe with Patrick as they would with Omri. But I think Little Bears choice of shooting Boone with an arrow was a very poor choice because what harm did Boone do to Little Bear? Also Patrick’s choice in showing the headmaster was not so good because it would have better to just keep them a secret. Little Bear’s choice in poking Omri was poor because it was his own fault he was kept in a pocket.

Summary:

Omri let the Indian ride his horse outdoors and then he has to go to school. He also lets him make a longhouse. After he comes home from school, his brothers are looking at the long house in awe. Omri asks them to get out of his room. Then he shows Patrick the Indian. Patrick said  ” Well what are you waiting for? Let’s make armies of them!” Omri disagrees with the idea. Patrick  makes his own living cowboy. The cowboy shoots Patrick with his gun. They find a little piece of metal bullet under Patrick’s fingernail. After that, Patrick decided to take the cowboy to school.

Connection:

Me and Omri have similaritys because if I had a living Indian, I would definitely try to keep it a secret. I also wouldn’t want someone in my room when I was showing a person a little Indian. I wouldn’t agree to the to the idea of having armies of toy men all over my room. I also wouldn’t want to take the Indian to school.

The House on Maple Street

By Sean

       While the family was out for dinner, a criminal put rockets under the house. He tip-toed behind a bush and waited quietly for the family to come home. When the family came home, the criminal became very excited. He punched a button on a remote. It was a perfect lift-off. The parents were screaming and yelling as the house took off.

        The criminal heard the parents screaming and yelling to each other, “Who do you think did this?” the mom asked. “I don’t know!” the dad answered. “Let’s call the police!” said the mom. The dad searched his pocket for his phone. “I must have forgotten my iPhone at the restaurant” the dad said.

       The children ran up to the attic because they were frightened that the person that put the rockets under the house was inside. A little later, while hiding in the attic, the kids spotted a remote control that said “rocket controls.” They rushed down the stairs to get their parents. The mom said, “There’s a button that says parachute” and they hit it. The house landed safely back where it belonged.

        The neighbors called the police when they saw the house blasting off. The criminal was just wandering around the block seeing what other trouble he could make. He knew he was in trouble when he saw the flashing red and blue lights. ”I’m innocent, I’m innocent” he screamed as the police drove him away to jail. Everybody in the family was happy because their life was back to normal.

 Rafting Field Trip

By Sean

        When I hopped out of the van I got super excited because it was my first time rafting. The Kenai River looked like a beautiful turquoise snake. I was also looking forward to seeing a salmon swimming in the river or an eagle on its nest. Also, I hoped to see a bear catching a fish.

Then we got in our raft, called the Orca. Christie, the person who paddled, untied the raft from the dock.  Christie sat on the cooler started paddling. At first it was calm but later on, we hit some rapids. Every once in a while, we would see a bald eagle or it’s nest. In a little while, huge, red sockeye salmon were in front of our raft. We also saw Dall sheep on the mountain. Seeing the animals made me wish that I brought my camera so I could take some great pictures of them. Remember when I said I wanted to see a bear? All we saw was a lost teddy bear.

“Gross!” I said, as Connor was drinking water from the River. “Fish go to the bathroom in there!” “It tastes fine.” Conner said. I thought, I still won’t be surprised if he isn’t at school tomorrow.

After that, we spotted a little rocky area to have lunch on. I opened up my lunchbox hungrily to see what I had for lunch. Because I was so hungry, I ate my jelly sandwich in a few gigantic bites. It was nice eating outside when I could see the river. When I finished my lunch, I put away my lunchbox and spotted seven dead, smelly, rotting salmon near shore.

After we got back on the raft, we started playing bumper rafts which was like bumper cars only with rafts. I got dizzy because we were spinning around a lot. But it was fun.

After playing bumper rafts, Christie let us paddle. When it was my turn, I thought that it would be as easy as paddling a kayak but I had to push harder. In a little while, we got closer and closer to shore until we were out of the water. Then I got back in the van and we drove back to school. In the van, I thought that was the best field trip I was ever on.
