Sturgeon Trip

We were pulling up at the parking lot of Knott's soak city it was so full. I was so exited. First we had to get our tickets. Second we had to find some chairs. Then we went to a pool called The wave cove. And every 5 minutes waves would hit. It was so fun to swim over them. After that we went to a big water slide that was 50 feet tall. My little cousin went on one that was 4 feet tall. Then we ate pizza and salad. Then we went to the Lazy river that took you around Knott's soak city.

It was about a half-hour bus ride all the way to the middle school. When we had finally arrived the principal was standing outside answering any questions the fifth graders had. People were asking him where their classes were and where their homeroom was. Now my brother was in the middle school for four years, so I was fairly familiar with the layout and where the classes were. The first class for me was homeroom which I had Mr. Lishego, but first I had to go to my locker and put my things away. All I came into homeroom with was a pencil and notebook, we were all given about five different forms that were related to health and other information. Once homeroom was finished, I went to my second period class which happened to be Mr. Lishego’s class again, but this time it was for reading. Every single one of my classes was the same thing which was going over classroom rules. Then lunch finally came and

Last summer before school started my sister and I were told that we were going on a trip to Ute Lake in New Mexico. We had never been to New Mexico before, so we were super excited. We were told that we were taking my dad's cousin's jet ski with us. My sister and I could not wait to go to New Mexico.

We all woke up that morning early so we could get all packed and ready to go. We had to take two separate cars because of how many people we had to take. The car ride was eccentric and ready to jump out of the car and into the lake at any moment. Finally both of the cars made it to the destination, my parents and my friends parents both rented all of the things we could use for today. Throughout the whole day we used the water bikes, kayaks and paddleboards for how

It was how to write our name and I like to think of myself as always being quite a smart kid, but this was not the case here. I had not really been taught how to write my name in a comprehensible way. I had written my name down with only being asked once. The only bad outcome was that I wrote something I could not even comprehend. The other students were older than me and wrote their names that would be considered neat for their age. I was frustrated because no matter how hard I tried, I could not produce something that was readable. I had a bad case of anger issues and was ready to flip but thankfully Mrs. Tayman came and helped me. She corrected the way I was holding the pencil and that by itself helped the legibility tremendously. When she saw that everyone had made a sufficient amount of progress in that day she let us have nap

Sturgeon have a similar life cycle to that of pacific salmon with spawning occurring when the female sturgeon releases eggs and the male sturgeon fertilizes them. Incubation happens for a week until the eggs hatch and the new fish rely on nourishment from a yolk sac until they are further grown. The yolk sac provides complete nourishment for the small sturgeon for its first 12-14 days of life. Similar to salmon entering ocean, sturgeon fish can enter areas with higher salt content to look for food. The fish can spawn once they are mature, with the males reaching it first when they are about 12 to 18 years old. Female sturgeons can only reproduce when they are older at 25 to 30 years of age. Unlike salmon, sturgeon can reproduce several times throughout their lifetime and can reproduce every year or every several years, depending on the age of the female. http://hsbc.frasersturgeon.com/rhspsec/Lesson1/Articles/Article1.pdf

Our last stop was a golden corral about 2 hours away from the school. We were supposed to eat at about 5 p.m. but we got delayed 2 hours because they didn't have enough space in the restaurant. I was starving by the time we got to eat, it was good to eat because I didn't bring any snacks on the bus. Although we got in the restaurant we had to wait about another 10 minutes to go up to get food. After we finished we got on the bus to go back to the school, and when our class got back to school my parents brought me home from

It was amazing, we didn't go on the many rides but the ride that I remember most was going on space mountain. It was so fun, we got whipped around corners so fast it felt like we were gonna fall off the track, and the ride was pitch dark besides the little lights placed to make it look like you're in a tunnel. Most of the time we walked around, and we watched the parade. On the second day we went to animal kingdom, it was so cool. In animal kingdom there are different sections that are different countries so it was kinda confusing but still fun. I liked how every country had different food related to that country. We went on the safari and I got lot of photos of the animals. The funnest part of animal kingdom was going on mount everest. I had never been on a roller coaster that big, I was really scared but once it started going it was so much fun. Bailey on the other hand hated the ride, at one part it goes backwards really fast and she couldn't breathe, so after that ride she was scared of roller coasters for a while, but she got over it eventually. On the third day my grandpa wasn't feeling good so he stayed at the hotel and had to miss the best park, epcot. When we first got to epcot we went to the coral reef restaurant, It was so good. It was also really cool that you got to watch the fish and sharks while you ate. Even though there went any seats available near the aquarium, it was still really good. Our waiter was very nice too, we offered to make us a smoothie that wasn't even on the menu, which were so good I can't even describe it. After we went to go on the rides at epcot so me and bailey went on mission earth, which was a ride that you had to go to the moon in a spaceship but you got to steer the ship. After we got off the ride my grandma felt sick and we had to go back to the hotel sadly. Unfortunately the fourth day was our last day, so we just hung around in the hotel till we

When I was in eighth grade I went on my first trip out of the country to Nassau, Bahamas. Going on this trip was one of the most exciting and unforgettable times of my life. Not only was it a fun experience, it was also the first time I realized that I love traveling. While there I was lucky enough to visit many places, such as Blue Lagoon Island and the beautiful Atlantis Resort, and immerse myself in the Bahamian culture. My time in The Bahamas was not my only great memory from that trip. The journey to get to The Bahamas itself was also quite interesting.

Later I arrived to the Indiana State fair to show pigs and cattle. I did pretty good I got 1st and 3rd with cattle and 10th with my pig. I was happy with how I placed. While we were down there we ate fair food like elephant ears, corn dogs, pizza and etc. My family and I saw all different kinds of things that we have never seen before. We went to a huge mall called the Castleton Square Mall to go shopping I got a couple shirts and shorts/ pants for back to school. I had a great time with a lot of the people I went with.

My favorite part of the day, other than dinner was field class. Field class is a science class like any other but outdoors which made it way more fun instead of sitting in a classroom for 45 minutes just staring at . On the first day I was especially shy and only knew Potato (Bethany) and Pufferfish (Julie) but as the days went by, I started to express myself more with my field classmates and got to know them better. Some we good others not as much. My field class instructor Rae was awesome. She was nice, funny, and always was up for a good hike. I loved playing the game Zap which helped me learn the nature names of others and Camouflage which was just like hide and seek but you had to learn a secret dance move from your hiding spot which I was relatively good at.

Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Kelly let us sit by whoever we want which I liked. We sat down while Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Kelly explained where and what everything was. Then we got to color! That made me feel better! But then we got our lockers. I couldn't find mine! A few other kids and I couldn't find our lockers. I said to a teacher,

My sister Jenny had just recently moved to Williamsburg from overseas, her oldest daughter Maddie was already back in school at Walsingham Academy but, her son Alex had yet to start school again so they went to Busch gardens. I got done with college early that day and went to join them at Busch gardens. It had been a little over a year since I had last seen them so I was excited to see them and ride some roller coasters.

My usual lunch table is pretty crowded. My friends and I sit in the same seats. It's me, Lanee, Raymond, Brice, Christian, Gus, Cade, Haven, then Lindsey. We were all having good conversations and laughing until we cried or couldn't hardly even breathe. If any of us don't want some of our food, we set it in the middle of the table for one of the boys to eat. I set my Cheez-Itz out there for someone to snatch. Cade was the one who got to them first, and of course, he started to eat them. Pretty soon it would be time to go back to class. Mr. Carter did what he usually does

We go on a vacation almost every summer and we always have a blast, but last summer we went to South Carolina. Me (Alexis) and my sister (Kinzey) went with my Dad (Aaron) and his girlfriend (Kristen) and it was fun. All of us went to the beach a lot and one girl that was there got stung by a jellyfish and I touched a jellyfish that was lying on the ground ! We swam a lot and got hit by waves and they weren't small waves they were huge and me and my sister built sand castles but they fell down every time me and my sister would build them but it was still fun to build them. Also all of us went to a bunch of restaurants that we have never heard of before like this one mexican restaurant that had really good food there and they served salsa and chips for an appetizer and for my real food I had a quesadilla and it was very good.
