The crazy tomato sauce machine by Mahala

Dad: Today everything will change.
Me: Do we have to move?
My brother Kilo kept singing little songs, when we got to the newIhouse.
I went upstairs into my room and there was a machine.
I asked my mom if it was hers...
Mom:no it isn't mine,ask dad if it is his.
I asked dad if it was his....
Dad: Yes it is mine but don't touch the blue button.
I put up my things and moved the machine into the corner.
The next day when I was sweeping I accidently pushed the blue button!

And for a week now every 1 minute it explodes with tomato sauce... it floods our house and prevents us from leaving.
Now after two weeks we can finally go outside.
Kilo: We can finally go outside!
We all went outside...

Me: Dad where are we?
Dad:I think we are in the future.
Me: Where are mom and Kilo?
Dad told us that we would need to build a whole new time machine.

Me: Dad we need to find tomato sauce to make a time machine.
Me: Where are we going to find tomato sauce in the future?
Dad: We will have to find tomatoes and make the sauce.

1 month later...

Dad: We have been working on it for a month and finally our new machine is working!
Me: Well let's go home!

The time it happened... by Mila

Today my dad is still working on his time machine . I don't think it will work . "oh no!" my dad put spray paint in the engine !Oh my now it is floating!! Ok I take that back it is working...

 Son:  "Dad did you mean to do that? "
 Dad: "Yes son I did mean to put spray paint in the engine."
 Son: "So Dad does that mean we will go forward in time?
 Dad: " Yes son."
Son: "Ok this day keeps getting weirder. Oh my God! Dad I think we are in the future.Dad  I can see so many machines."
Dad: "Son I told you it would work".
Son: "But Dad how do we get back home?"
"I think, I think... we don't have a home, we will have to rent a hotel!"
Son: "Oh Dad you are so crazy! I mean how do we get to mom and Lizzie."
Dad: "Son all I need is spray paint."
Son: |"Dad there is one problem. How do we get spray paint?"
"Spray Paint?" said a man dressed in a black dress. "We have plenty of spray paint"
 Son and Dad: "Oh good!"

Dear Diary,
We are back home and we are safe but there is one problem. I have a baby sister. Now my little sister is two years old, and she is so weird. My mom says she is new hope, but I think she is like a hurricane. I still don't understand why time passed so quickly when I came back from the future.

"Oh no, Sofia don't chew on my remote control!"

The End.

                                                                                        

Diary of a Plane by Gwendolyn

Today my mother is out of town and my parents are divorced. I am very lonely today. I have white skin and you can find copa airlines written on one of my sides. It is so weird that my mother always sings: "feeding time!" And she always says: " I'm the loveliest girl in  town."
I am very sad because my pet cat ran away. Well I never liked my dad anyway , he is always so weird when he sprays me with blue spray paint. I don't really have an engine yet . Yesterday I saw people coming with an engine and they are working on it right now. And my mother probably sent them. I am flying to New Mexico tomorrow . I am quite scared to go on my first flight.
After the flight I had 8 more flights to go. My very crazy parents said I was moving just yesterday.
I tried to tell my mother I don't want to move because I like the airport a lot. Well.. it's just that I have a huge case of home sickness. My parents said we are moving to Hawaii! but my mother did not care about that.

The End

Spring Break Assignment

Dear Gatun Room Students,

You've all worked very hard this last term, and I think we all need a short break!
However, I have decided to simply post a quick assignment for all of you ...

Write a small paragraph answering the following questions:

1) Do you or your family celebrate Easter? If you do, what are some activities you might do to celebrate it? If not, do any of your friends celebrate it and how do they celebrate it?

2) Some children believe in the Easter bunny... do you believe in the existence of an Easter Bunny?  Where do you think the story comes from?


Watch the following video:

and try and investigate where the Easter Bunny comes from...

In addition, if you are bored and have nothing to do, find below a video that will show you how to draw an Easter Bunny for fun!
