A toy plane

I wanted to make a toy plane today and put it in the blog. My parents got a packing box from the grocery shop. I was playing with the box.  I love making different things from the box. Making the plane and playing with it was fun. I shared the plane with my sister. When I was riding on the plane it looked like I was a pilot.

 

How to make a toy plane:

 

I got a packing box that has a square shaped top. There are 4 flaps on the top. The flaps are for closing the box but I want to pretend the flaps as the wings and tail and dashboard. That’s it.

The Castle in the Dream

Today is Saturday. I do not have to go to school. I was thinking what shall I do today. Last week, I wrote a poem and put in a blog. My teacher Ms. Chaffee was very happy. She printed that poem and said she would show the poem to Mr. Rhody. So, I want to do something new for today. I asked my Baba in the morning "what can I do"? But my Baba asked me "what do I want to do"? I had no answer. I have my building blocks in my room. I wanted to build a castle. My Baba told "I must draw a picture of the castle before building it and show him how I am going to build it". That was difficult but I tried for it. After building the picture and castle, I took photo and show them to my Baba. He was very happy and he told me he would help to put them in the blog if I tell him a story. Then I told him a story and my Baba helped me a little bit in the story and to put them in the blog.



There was a little girl who lived in a very small house. She always wanted to live in a big house like a castle but she can't because her father was poor. She had to do lots of works at home to help her father. She helped her father to clean the clothes and house, to do dishes and to cook. She had a rich neighbor who sometime teased her when she wore old clothes. One day she had to do a lot of work when her father was sick. She was very tired and felt asleep. She had a nice dream. She found a big castle in her dream. The castle had three floors. The ground floor was dark pink color. The first floor was sky blue color. The second floor was purple color. The first floor had yellow porch. The castle had paints of purple,light blue, yellow, violet, red, pink, light pink colors. When she woke up, she was very happy to see a beautiful castle in her dream. She did not want to forget the castle. So, she made a paint of the castle for memory.

My Poem

I saw a poem in the internet. I saw a picture. When I saw the poem and picture, I wanted to write a poem too. But I do not know how to write a poem. I asked my dad and he helped me little bit to write a poem. He also helped me to type on the computer. After writing the poem, I draw a picture to illustrate the poem. Here is the poem.

I plant a little seed
in a little sack
I wonder what will it be
while putting on a rack

I water it
I put manure on it
Every day and every night
I was looking on it

Few days later in a morning
I saw a little root coming 
the root came out
with a sprout

I was very surprised
I put water again 
I put manure also
And I looked again

I hope it will be 
a pretty nice flower. 
The flower will grow
up in the tower
