The Gone Pond (Lotus Pond Story)

On a Tuesday morning our class went to Lotus Pond for a field trip. But something happened… There was no water in Lotus Pond.

“Leave it to us,” Chloe said.

“What?” asked Miss Chagaris looking confused.

“Sammi, Julie, Chloe, Hiram, Morgan, Marino, Allison, Brian Lin, and I are all members of the children FBI,” Antony said.

“Are you guys sure?” asked Miss Chagaris, looking toward us.

“Uh-huh,” we all nodded.

“All right then.”

So the rest of our class went back to the school. We dashed to the tiger beside a temple and asked him if he knew who drank up all the water. The tiger said the two dragons did it. We went to see the two dragons. The dragons were angry that the tigers told us. The dragons did it on purpose. They wanted to let all the fishes die. We were very furious.

We were trying to figure out how we could make the water come back again. Suddenly, Hiram said, “Oh! We could pray to God and maybe he could help us make the water come back.”

“Yeah, that’s a great idea!” I said.

“Let’s pray,” said Marino.

“Dear God, please let the water go back to Lotus Pond,” we all said. Closing our eyes and folding our hands. “In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.”

Then, all the water came back to Lotus Pond. We made the dragons promise us not to drink up all the water again.

My Mandala

In Math class, we learned how to draw a mandala. My mandala is named, “Wild Dragon”. Our teacher, Miss Chagaris, showed two videos with us that teaches us how to draw a Mandala. Our whole class made this together. We all started out with a tiny circle (which is called a seed) and then patterns. This is a picture of my Mandala:

If you want to draw a Mandala too, then here is the two video:

What Type of Person I Am

Hi! My name is Allison. I will be telling you what type of person I am. My dad thinks that I am energetic, because I am always looking for something to do and I cannot sit still without doing anything. My favorite quiet time is reading, which I can do for hours at one sitting.

As for my mom, she thinks that I am very observant and is quick to the point when I am given a story problem to solve.

My sister Andrea thinks I am really smart, because I know how to do very difficult abacus math. She is only 5 years old, so she does not know a lot of things yet. Maybe it’s good that she stays thinking that way.

I think I am a helpful person, because I enjoy helping others. I feel good about myself when I can help my friends with their math work by explaining each steps on how to solve them.
