WHY?

Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Why do our moms
Always make our apple pie?

Why do worms dig underground?
Why does gravity keep us held down?

Well, I can't answer all these questions my friend,
My question for you,
When will YOUR questions end?!

-Matthew

My First Day of School

We lined up at the flagpole. We said the pledge, then we went in the 3rd grade classroom. We first did math...which was easy I guess. Then we went over the rules (what goes where, what to do when you hear a whistle, etc.).Just like in 2nd grade, the first recess was boring. There was one cool thing: I saw a swing broken in half. Then we came back into class and worked on "ALL ABOUT ME" which is telling the teacher about me. Then was lunch. After that we did music and we made names for everyone. Mine was MARVELOUS MATTHEW! Then we came back for Spanish. We did Spanish hangman and after that we did Science...I think. Then we cleaned up and...BYE!!!

My Poem

Do you like poems? I do.
Here is a poem I wrote:

A STORMY NIGHT

There was a stormy night,
that gave me a fright
to know that it might,
start a tornado or a hurricane,
but in the falling rain,
I thought it might
be alright
with just one stormy night.

My Trip to Julian

Day One: We packed up our things and we were off to Julian. As we drove, I got car sick, so we had to go slower. Finally we arrived at our cabin. We depacked and drove again to PIZZA! We ate and drove back to our cabin. At the bathroom we saw a roach! It was scary, so my Dad stepped on it with his shoe.

Day Two: My Dad woke me up and took me outside. We saw a family of wild turkeys. The rest of OUR family woke up and we had a pancake breakfast. We played on the scooter for awhile. Then we went on a long hike. Then we came back again for lunch (PB&J) and dinner.

Day Three: We woke up and had breakfast (eggs). Then we drove to Lake Cuyamaca. We ate lunch and went fishing. My Mom caught a baby catfish and I helped! We ate it for dinner with noodles and sauce.

Day Four: We went to the Julian Bakery to eat breakfast. Then we went to the lake again (to fish). We caught nothing. So what! We had a great time.
