L3TT3R 2 5Th GR@D3R

Dear incoming 6th graders.
you may think that east is going to be so boaring. it more than likly will be at the end of the year all the students get to have a carnival. carnivals at east are so much fun there are lots of games and food. they are alot of fun because you are around friends all day.their are lots of games such as, the dunk tank and many many more.
in the carnival you have so much fun because of all the things that you can do. one activity is that you can go to is the dunk tank. when you play at the dunk tank you throu a ball and try to hit a target if you hit the target then the teacher that is sitting on the dunk tank fall into the water.also the best part is that if you get hungry you dont wait till lunch all you have to do is go to the food court and buy what ever kind of food you want. so you have fun and you dont starve.
so 5th graders if you come to east middle school look forwared to the carnival at the end of the year!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerly,

Jesenia Ochoa

Friend Prompt

Sometimes when you may be sad lonely or just need a friend you look for someone that is caring. Personally i would describe myself as a very caring friend. When my friends feel sad or depressed i stay and listen to them until they feel better. I also try to help them out by letting them know that i care for them. Most of the time i will stay up until 3 in the morning just talking to themselves. Another thing that describes me as caring is that when one of my friends is feeling sad i always feel really bad for them and try my hardest to make them feel all smiley. When my friends need a caring person i am always there.

Memoir

Memoir
By: Jesenia Ochoa
On my 4th birthday my dad took me to the pet store to get a pet for me. While we were in the pet store i saw all kinds of different birds, fish, and hamsters, etc. Wile i was looking around i saw an adorable little bird. Iran to my dad and happily announced " I want that little bird." my dad went to go see it and said that if that was the one I really wanted that we would get it.

As soon as we got home I showed my bird to my mom, she asked me what I had named it. After about 15 minutes of thinking I decided that since it was so small i would name him Tiny.

Both of my parents decided that the cage should go in my sister and my room. Every day I would take his out and play with her.When my cousins would come over to visit wouldn't let then go into my room because they would take Tiny out of his cage and squeeze him. Finally my cousins got tiered of me not letting me play with my bird and told my mom. Then my mom said that if i wouldn't let them play with him I would get grounded and they would take the cage out of my room. So from then on i would only let them see him but i wouldn't take home out of his cage unless my cousins weren't there.

On one warm Wednesday morning cousins came over and went to my room. From downstairs my mom told me to pick up my toys. Before I left i told my cousins not to go anywhere near my bird or else I would tell there mom that they were being rude to me, then I walked downstairs. When i was finished picking up my toys I went back upstairs only to find that my bird cage was empty and my two cousins were gone. I ran down the stairs just barley managing not to fall on my face and I went to the back yard just in time to see my cousins letting go of my poor little Tiny. By the time I ran over to them he was to far to try and reach for so the only thing i could do was just look up and watch my pet fly away. After about three minutes I went to tell my mom. My mother told me to go tell there mom. So I went and told what had happened answered she didn't care she didn't even do anything about it.

When my dad got home i told him what my cousins did he asked me that if i wanted i could go and get another bird to replace Tiny. i decided that i couldn't get another bird to take Tiny's spot. Instead i just went to bed. When I woke up the next morning i asked my mom if Tiny had come back? She just mumbled "no."
