Athena Greek Goddess
By Julia Parcher
A long time ago in Mt. Olympus there was a baby being born her name was
Athena, Zeus her father could already tell she was the goddess of
warfare, wisdom, and strategy. Athena grew up fast by now she is already
fighting monsters and dragons and she was only a toddler. One day while she
was practicing she saw something strange Hades, Poseidon, and her father
were all fighting Poseidon and Zeus were fighting with Hades so she went to
investigate. When she got there she asked her dad,” Daddy why are you
fighting with Hades ?” “Umm dear you‟re supposed to be practicing for your
battle with Apollo, replied Zeus. But then they started fighting but not with
Hades with Athena, Athena felt unloved so while the family was asleep she

3. “AAA good morning life,” said Athena .“ Hello there,” replied an unfamiliar
voice. “Who's there,” asked Athena. “ You don‟t remember me it‟s me,”
replied the voice “ Who‟s me,” mentioned Athena “ It‟s me Zeus your
father,” explained Zeus. You see Athena thinks that she doesn‟t have a
father because she was like two when she ran away from Mt. Olympus and
she is like eighteen now so she doesn‟t remember her father “ I don‟t
have a father are you a kidnapper or just a weird person,” scowled Athena
then she saw Zeus but it wasn‟t him he was disguised as a old man but he
took the disguise off and she noticed something familiar in him “ Wait
what is your name again,” questioned Athena . “ It‟s Zeus ,” said Zeus.
Then Zeus bellowed, “ Come with me.” So she went with him.

4. Welcome to Mt. Olympus said a sign while they were walking Athena saw
something a cyclops and a wolf/man she was terrified and creeped out the
wolf/man was hideous he growled. When they got to the tower Athena
saw another person she thought was familiar she thought it was her
mother but she wasn‟t sure that‟s when the lady mentioned something
Athena also thought was familiar “ The baby will never be successful if she
never finds her heart.” then Zeus said, “ That is your mother Metis.” “
Why is she in the dungeon,” asked Athena. The reason Metis is in the
dungeon is because she did something terrible but Zeus didn‟t want to
talk about it. So then Athena saw something it was her old baby blanket
she ran over to see it then she noticed writing on it she tried reading it
but all she got out of it was when you grow up my little angel you will still
be my little angel remember that.

5. Then Athena asked her mom, “ Mom did you write this?” Metis responded “
Yes, I did when you were just born and when your father gave you that
blanket.” While Athena was talking to Metis Zeus had to take her away
just like when she was born she started crying like when she was a baby
then her father had taken her to her bedroom he had to say something to
her. “ Athena I have to tell you something,” said Zeus “Yes.” responded
Athena “ You have to go into the … dungeon,”explained Zeus. You see the
reason Zeus wanted Athena to go into the dungeon is because she ran
away he has to punish her so when Athena got into the dungeon she was
laying in her bed crying when she heard someone scream someone let the
beast out. Something terrible was going to happen.

Pay it Forward
Could you imagine a world with every body helping you when you fall down? That is called an act of
kindness. A way to show an act of kindness is to, “Pay it forward “. Paying it forward is where
you do something nice for someone else, then they spread it on and on and on .”Pay it forward”
is a random act of kindness someone would come and do something out of the ordinary when he
gives you something or if you leave something they will hand it to you and return for that and
do something kind for a person. My goal is for me to do three acts of kindness and hopefully
they will pass it on.
For an example, if you clean your room without being told that is a good thing because
your parents would be happy. When your little sister sees that thing that you did maybe she will
pay it forward. By doing this it makes our parents life a lot easier. If your dad asks you to do
something you should do it because your dad would give you something good and he will pass it
on.
Well pay it forward is a good thing it makes our county a better place because it would
stop people from being bad and then they could be a good person. An example one time i
helped my little sister and she was happy about it .Then her friend came over and she fell on
the ice and she helped her up and then she passed it on and by that she did something good and
she did pay it forward .
People can do it anyone can do it even little children .For a example if you do something
nice like clean your room without being told that is a kind thing cause it gives you a lot less

12. or people can get nicer with stuff.Also you can
teach people a thing or to be a better person and when
a little kid walks by and they see you doing something
nice for a person they will want to do that and they will
spread it and the world will be a better place.so i hope
you will pay it forward.

The Game
By: Craner and Brunsie
“DOWN, SET, HIKE!” Shouted Brunsie. Craner snapped the ball back to Brunsie and
Brunsie passed the ball to Andrew Formanek. He caught it and got 13 yards on that one. The
crowd yelled, “That’s good enough for a Lions first down!” “Hey,” said Eric H. “I thought you were
going easy on our poor team!” “Well,” said Andrew Formanek. “Life isn't fair.”
The first half was over and the Lions went into halftime with 56-3 lead. The locker room was
very excited at half time. “Well,” said Fred Week, the Lion’s football coach. “That was a great first
half!” “Wasn't Brunsie supposed to pass it to me?” Asked Eric Ritter. “You always pass it to
Andrew Formanek!” “The Quarterback makes the plays,” said coach. “The wide receivers run the
routes!” “He’s right,” said Craner. “The wide receivers run the routes. Not the plays.” Then he
made one adjustment and thats that Craner is the running back for at least the 3rd quarter and
Caleb Tenike is the center so he can get some experience. The Team won the game 108-9.
The End!

Poseidon and the Minotaur.
by Alec Eggers
Once there was an island Called Minotaur Land. They had a great
army and they wanted to attack Atlantis and there ruler
Poseidon. Atlantis has a small army. But Poseidon said “Do not
worry I am god of the sea”.
So he went to get his sidekick John. Together John and Poseidon
came up with a battle strategy. They put on there their
diamond armor and retrieved their Golden trident and
sowards. They are now ready to Minotaur land army.
They charged toward the Minotaur Land army. The
Minotaur Land army attacked with radge. Minotaur land has

16. more men than Atlantis. Just when it
seemed they were going to be overpowered
by the Minotaur land army. Poseidon
dropped his trident and put up his hands and
as he did a huge wave came up and washed
away The Minotaur land army.
POSEIDON RUSHED RIGHT INTO THE
MINOTAUR‟S CASTLE. BUT HE WASN'T
THERE. HE CALLED OUT “JOHN “ JOHN CAME
RUNNING UP. „What is it sir” “HOW MANY
MEN DIED”.About 50” “so what you're saying
is we lost half of them” “great” ”Lets go get
more men” said Poseidon.

17. So this time with 1,000,000 men they went to
the center of the earth. There sitting in a
straight jacket was the Minotaur. Wait “its a
trap” “anyone got a boe” Poseidon grabbed
the boe. “wait he is getting out of the
straight jacket. “give me my Trident” him
and the Minotaur clashed. Poseidon Had the
Minotaur pinned up against the wall John
came up and stabbed the Minotaur. The
Minotaur spent eternity in the Underworld.

DancaTape
By: Brooke Schulze
Hey if you are tired of going to boring hotels (no offence
hotel owners), then you should come to the amazingly
relaxing and adventurous DancaTape Island. It is a six
out of five star ratings, so come down to relax and go
on some far out wacky adventures. The day it opens is
July 2nd, 10 am Sat. to July 20th 10 pm, in the Pacific
ocean 40 north and 180 west
Ok so when you come there are some relaxing meadows

19. Brooke page 2
We have like the best and waterfalls, they are the
best because they are soothing and some you
are able to swim in on the bottom of the
waterfall. You should come and show off your
fashion styles, because you could win up to five-
thousand dollars just because you made the
number one outfit, the day it starts is Tues. July
2nd 10am, to July 20th 10pm.
If you come and there were problems at anything
we will do something about that, we may even

20. Brooke page 3
But like I said you MIGHT get that one thing free. Also
if you get hurt on any one of the things you could go
to the hospital, don't worry you don't have to go far
because there is a hospital every where! Now there
may be some dangerous spots in the jungle so I
recommend that kids under 10 should stay away
from the dangerous spots.
If you come we may give you half the real price for
your stay, like if it was $100 you would pay $50, but
that is only for Tues. July 2nd 10am, to July 20th

24. Sydney With Timmy and the Time
Machine
Once upon a time... in a land where all things happen... there was a
house with a mom, a dad and a child. The child‟s name was Timmy!
One day when Timmy was only 5 years old, on Christmas day, Timmy
saw Santa! Timmy exclaimed “SANTA!!! What are you doing here on
Christmas?! I thought you only came on Christmas eve?” Santa whispered “
Shh! Keep your voice down! We don‟t want your parents knowing I am
here!” “But why-” Timmy started to say. Santa whispered “Timmy, you
are going to have the most amazing gift. You have been given- by me- a
time machine!” “Wow” said Timmy quietly.
Santa pulled out the time machine from his magical bag and said
“Timmy, do you know why I gave this to you on Christmas?” Santa asked.
“No” Timmy sighed “No I do not.” Santa replied “Well, I brought this to
you for 2 reasons. 1, It was too big for my bag, and 2, I thought- out of the
whole world- that you were responsible enough to take care of this.
Now, I want you to use this to go into the past Christmas, present
Christmas, and future Christmas all in one day without your parents

25. Sydney
Then Santa pressed his nose and went up the chimney. Timmy had
soooo many more questions to ask him, but Timmy knew that he had
already gone. So all night Timmy thought about what he was going to do
the next day.
So the next day Timmy did exactly what Santa had told him before. At 5:00 in
the morning ( he got up so early because he didn‟t want his parents to
see) he went through the time machine and screamed “ Take me to the
PAST!!!!” And then the most amazing thing happened. Timmy saw the
ghost of him as a baby and his mom while his mom was cradling him in her
arms. Timmy was so delighted to see her so happy! But when he looked
out his window, he saw that a person was living in a box! Timmy thought
to himself, “ If I would have done something to mom to make her see
him, we could have got him in the Christmas spirit!” “ I better get to the
present now. Bye me!” he giggled.

26. Sydney
So Timmy went to the time machine and said “ Take me to the
PRESENT!!!!” So the time machine made him swirl and swirl until he was
in the present. then he saw his parents looking for him! Timmy looked
over at the clock and shouted “ It‟s already 8:15?!?” Then he noticed a
person as an older version of the person on the street in the past. Timmy
thought “ Wow! Didn’t I just see that man!? It’s either just me, or I need
my eyes checked!” “ Beep! Beep!” “ Already 9:00? Bye me!” he giggled
again. So Timmy said “Take me to the FUTURE!!!!!”
Then again, Timmy swirled and swirled and swirled until he was in the
future. When he was in the future, he saw himself, his girlfriend (
EEWW!!! ), his mom, and his dad all having a fun Christmas. Then, Timmy
in the future, went out and let the man who lived in a box into his home
to share Christmas! Timmy was so excited that he jumped all around!

27. Justin W.

28. When we got to Slender Forest it was all dark and scary, but good thing I had lightning on my side to light the way. We were
heading toward the forest when something flashed before our eyes, then again, and again. When we saw him our vision
started to blank , but when we saw his face it was hideous! I tried blasting a lightning bolt at him, but it just went
through him. So me and the gang ran and ran until we couldn‟t see him but he just kept popping up everywhere. At a
sudden flash I saw him dash to the left side of me so I quickly maneuvered where he was standing and blasted lightning in
his mouth and just like a slingshot he darted away into the stars.
We got to the lake of misfortune, and some aqua suits, but bad this is there were only five suits only for the five
halo soldiers. Hey chief, you and your squad take the suits, I‟ll stay above the water. I went in the lake and the halo
group went to the bottom of the sea.
After an hour or so something started pulling me down to drown, and fast to. I tugged and tugged, but I just
couldn‟t pull up, the force was too strong, and finally I gave up, my whole life flashed before my eyes, but most of it was
avoiding fruit trees, and I thought to myself I should really get out more, but something weird happened. I was
underwater, I could still breath great, and the sharks weren‟t eating me alive. I saw the squad down underwater
defending a giant city I swam like a torpedo right to the bottom of the ocean. I bumped into a sea monster without saying
sorry. Master Chief looked at me in shock, but he went with it anyway. I dashed there and there without looking I grabbed
a sea creature and threw him into another sea dude. I thought I would have a lot more water power since you know I was
under water, so I cupped my hands and shot a surge of water and a humongous tidal wave came out of my palms and
pretty much wiped out all of them in one shot. There was only two left so I just let the halo dudes take care of them, but
it wasn‟t as awesome as I would‟ve done it. All they did was attack awesomely, but they didn‟t do in style.
After that something weird happened, I saw some little man fish hiding behind a coral reef. Who are you? I asked.
He swam away from us as fast as he could, but I stopped him with my water powers. Please don‟t make me die, I‟m so
young so many places I want to see! he said, I‟m not gonna kill you, I just want to know what your name is so what is it?
Clumsey he said. Ok peace I just wanted to what your name is by ,but before I Could say all that he said can I come with
you? Nope. By, I said, please he said, why can‟t you just go back to your little home? Take a closer look at He said. The
city was all abandoned, everything broken, and nothing worked. Who did this, I asked, I don‟t know he said, When it
happened it was just when I was two months old ,and now I‟m twelve, cool I said. Then I realized this kid lived on his
own, all abandoned, all alone for twelve years. That‟s amazing I said, and how would you like to join the Justin is

29. So there we were, a whole pack full of weirdos, an orphan kid, five halo soldiers, and some
dude named clumsey who had the power to breath under water. We were running up the steps to
the combat arena ,which was about thousand so are gym teacher must be proud. There was
something as pretty as a rash up those steps, but I had to face it to make the island safe again. As
we were crawling up the steps we saw it.
He had about two scars on his face and one more on his arm, he had tattoos like dragon
slayers, monsters, aliens and all kinds of creepy. He had all sorts of bruises, like almost
everywhere. He had a twisted long nose, and also he wore this gown thing, and weirdest of all
he had no pupils which is really scary if you ask me.
Hello, I‟ve been waiting for you young hero, I would like to tell you where are your little
army friends? I looked behind my back and they were in some kind of trance. they started
walking over to pig snout on the other hand. Man, I wish I had the power to do that I
thought, well you can if you join me he said, jee can a man have it‟s privacy, but fine if I can
have mind powers and turning people on your side powers I‟m in. I walked over to him, but as
sudden as I could somebody stopped me it was Gavin. Justin, don‟t do this he‟s trying to trick
you, whatever I‟ll get more powers, Gavin rose his arms and a sprout of bones came out, ok i‟m
on your side I said. Did I miss the party somebody said which was way too early because it took
whoever it was about two minutes to get up the stupid stairs and it was Nathan.

30. I got beauty powers Nathan said, wow Nathan you‟re an overachiever, I know right? So you
guys have found out about your powers the witch said, do you know you have the powers of the
gods? Justin you have the power of Zeus and Poseidon, Gavin you got the power of Hades and
Apollo, Nahan you got the power of.... well you look good, but what's my godly power Nathan
blabbered, Dude the witch said, don‟t ask questions you don‟t want the answer to. What!? We
got powers of the gods that is so cool we all said, but Hey Nathan it‟s great to see you
buddy, so now you scared of us sorcerer, wow, wow, wow, how did you know that I was a
sorcerer? Well for starters it‟s pinned to your shirt, oh whatever lets get this over with!
He shot out his hand and blasted a master bolt, but bad news for him because I‟ve got
lightning powers buddy! Oh, and just so you guys know I got lightning and water powers
buddy, Justin, you‟re not the only one with powers, Gavin rose his arms and summoned army
out of the dead and shot an arrow at one of them just to prove a point, oh yeah guys, I got the
best and only one power, Nathan put on a dress and looked like he was ready for a beauty
pageant wow Nathan, cool power, so all three of us attacked the dude, I shot master bolts and
water spears, Gavin rose undead armies and shot arrows, Nathan looked good, and for the
sorcerer he waved his wand in the air and said something weird repel are powers and put spells
on us like he gave Nathan a wedgie, he pushedThe End

31. Gretchen
Athena and Zeus
By Gretchen Guetzlaff
Long ago Zeus the god of the sky was sad. It rained and rained. Many gods and
goddesses tried to fix his problem but none of them could help. You see
his problem was the sun. It hurt his eyes so he could not work.
One day a messenger came and said someone was there to help. “Bring them
in.”Zeus sighed sadly. Then, Athena goddess of art and beauty glided in.
“I shall fix your problem father.”Athena said. “How my
daughter?How?”sighed Zeus. So she explained.
Athena went to work painting. She painted big,white,blobs in the sky.
Then,she named them. She named them clouds. She painted them all over
the world. Zeus was very happy. He let the sunshine but always left a
cloud to shade him.
The End.

about what I like. In other words I mostly like EVERYTHING, But as you know
everyone has at least one dislike about something so I will talk about both.
Next is what I like to do at home. What I enjoy to do at home is go to the
church with my family because at our church they play good songs and have good
messages.i I go to church at Zion in Clear Lake Iowa. Family is very important to
me so I like hanging with them! Dance is enjoyable too! You get to hang with your
friends and feel free to dance! Hanging with friends is also very fun to me. lots of
times they sleepover at my house and so do I.

Home can be fun and all, but I have some dislikes about home too! I
don‟t like at all when my siblings and I fight .They always start the fight
first.! At home when it‟s night time my asthma acts up a ton and so I
don‟t get enough sleep, so sometimes I am crabby in the morning, but I
always get over it. I don‟t have very many dislikes at home, but when I
am at school some things are really not so nice.
What I dislike about school is the drama between girls. They get in some
unnecessary fights. The lunches are sometimes gross so I bring cold lunch
a lot. Did you know that most of the boys are really crazy! Well they are.

Well those are my likes and dislikes. I hope you learned about them. I‟ll
say it again I can‟t wait for fifth grade! I hope that I can use what I
learned in fourth grade to help me become the best fifth grade student I
can be!

Animal Behavior
By: Paige Rolling
Have you ever wondered what you have in common with
tigers, or turtles? Have you ever heard of a Ivory Colored
Woodpecker, or a Chinese Giant Salamander? I am here to
tell you all about these amazing animals that you should
know every bit about! I hope that you learn many things
about these amazing animals that we share our home
with.
First I‟m going to tell you how animals use tools. You
might not know this, but you use tools everyday
without even realizing it! You use tools when you, use a
pencil, open a can, or even cut something with scissors.

39. The first animal I‟m going to talk about is
chimpanzees. Chimpanzees learned how to use tools a
long time ago without human help. One of the tools are
stone hammers found at a chimp settlement in the
Ivory coast 4,300 years ago. They can make spears. We
are closely related to them.
Now I‟m going to tell you how dolphins and sea
otters use tools. Sea otters use stones as hammers to
get shells off of the rocks, and then break them open
with the stone hammers for food. Dolphins in the
bay, Australia, carried marine sponges in their beaks to
stir ocean bottom sand and uncover pray.

40. Have you ever heard of Christian the lion. It is an amazing story about
how this European lion finds his wild home. Here is a little preview on the
book, and movie:
This lion is a 5th generation of lions kept in captivity, and he was ready to
break that streak. It was 2 Australian guys that went to London to find
adventure bought him for 250 guineas. He was taken away from his parent
with his siblings at a critical age, and they had no survival skills, because
of that. In 1969 London was an exotic place where you could purchase a
lion. They kept him in an apartment. When he got too big they talked to a
man that could take him to Africa, and get him ready for the wild.
Christian went with them to Africa, and lived a new life as an African lion.
You have probably never heard of this, but now I‟m going to tell you
about symbiotic relationships. That is where two animals spend a period
of time together helping each other even though they are totally different
species. This usually happens with water animals. An example is a
eneminey and a clownfish.

41. This is how they help them: Clownfish help
enemies, because they get them food. They eat like
other fish in the ocean. The enemy helps the clown fish
by giving them protection. Clown fish have different
skin-scales, so then the enemy's sting does not affect
them.
Now I am going to tell you what you have in common with
a chimpanzee! Octopuses make houses out of
coconuts, and then when they want to move they just
move the coconuts with them. Octopuses have houses
just like you! Monkeys can do math just like you.
Certain animals can mimic human speech. For an

42. You probably know about this problem. It is endangered animals.
People are hunting them for furs and skin, and we are taking their
habitat. I‟ll tell you about the top ten most endangered animals. 1) The
Ivory colored woodpecker 2)Amur Leopard There is less than 40 of them
left in the world. 3)Javan Rhino (No more than 60) 4)Northern Sportive
Lemur 5) Northern Right Whale 6) Western Lowland Gorilla (They are low
in numbers from hunting) 7) Leatherback sea turtle (They‟re number is
going down at an alarming rate) 8) Siberian Tiger (They weigh 660 lb) 9)
Chinese giant salamander (Humans eat them) 10) The Little Dodo bird
(they are almost extinct like the big Dodo bird)
You should know that they are close to extinction. If they are gone
they could never come back. Think about it, a tiger could be know as good
as a dinosaur. Don‟t worry though we can still save them, but we need
everyone to help. You can help by: 1) getting people to stop cutting down
habitats. 2) Making sure that nobody hunts them.

43. I hope that you learned a little about
these amazing animals, and how we can
protect them in different ways. I hope that
you realize how important it is to keep these
animals protected when they are in this
little of numbers. You should know how
animals work together, and live together
like we do every day.
The
End
