Dear Mark Martin,
I am Tyler a sixth grade student at Pioneer Ridge Middle School. I am writing to you because I want you to teach me how to drive your race car.
I know that you won a lot of races that’s why I am asking you to teach me how to drive your race car. I and my dad watch you drive your car around the track. Even on the radio we listen to the race all the way home because races take a lot of time to race about three hundred laps around the track.
I know what car you used to drive number six. I have your first model and your new model of the number six car. But, I don’t think you drive that car anymore.
So when I grow up I want to race. But, I don’t think I will be a racer unless you teach me how to drive the cars.
You can reach me at ferrellj@usd231.com.

Last summer I wanted to go to my grandma’s house. I kept begging my dad to take me. I waited and waited each night.
I got up Saturday and my dad tells me to go get dressed. I said where are we going. He said we were going to Grandmas. So I stormed in to my room and got dressed and packed for two weeks.
Ok it’s a pretty long ride to my Grandmas. We listened to music and played some games on the way up there. We stop at a gas station for breakfast all the time unless we are in hurry but, we are not usually not so we ate breakfast.
Finally we are there the place were I have wanted to go. My brother and my dad slept there for the night. The next day my brother and my dad ate there then they left. So Then I had the time to myself with my Grandparents. I had a lot of fun with my grand parents. We went to the greenhouse and I helped transplant the flowers in some flats with a lot of soil in it.
Grandpa mixed the dirt and put the dirt into some flats but, the have to be a certain kind of dirt. I don’t get that but, I guess they do. I also watched western shows in my free time.
Well it was the night before I had to leave but, I asked grandma if I could stay longer. She said it was ok if your dad said it was ok. So I called my dad and he said it was ok.
So my two week vacation turned into a three week vacation. So I got to help transplant again I watched more westerns.
It came to the end of my stay. It was an awesome visit. I wanted to stay longer but, I knew that I had to go home and see my family and my dogs witch are family.

This is what I always dreamed of doing. Build a time traveler. Why you ask because I want to meet George Washington. I want to see life in the old days.
First I would have to build the time traveler. It will be a gold color with pictures of NASCAR cars on the side of it since I like racing. Oh and the most important thing the flames on the side for super fast speed. It can also fly up in the sky like a plane too.
I would get in the time traveler and go visit time in the old days. It will take a couple of minutes and then I am there. Oh and that’s not all It would be like a house with food and drinks. It also has a bathroom in it.
I am there and everything is like dreamed it would be. George Washington is in the revolutionary war so I will meet him as soon as he gets back from war. Oh look here come his troop now I will go meet him now. Hello Mr. Washington is that really you. Yes it is young lad. Well how is the country? Not so well we are in war right now. Oh well ok bye hope you win the war. We will try our best.
Now to see the life in the old days. Wow there’s a lot of family that are working outside. They planted crops out in there field. The children don’t have any school or electricity. On the bright side they are working outside at least they still have something to do. The kids seem happy.
Well I might like it here but, just a few more things before I decide. I want to see the houses that people live in. They would just have wooden chairs to sit in. They also have beds to sleep in. They have a lot of stuff that I didn’t think they ad in there houses.
I decided that it would be fun to live there because I like to work. I think the houses and the George Washington. I want to talk to George Washington again. I need to bring my family.

Lesson 14 – Brian’s Winter
Think Critically
1. Why was Brian nervous about the coming of winter?
The winter in Canada is not like the winter in New York, so he dosn’t really know how to survive in the harsh winter. Plus, Canada is farther North, so it’s probably colder.

2. If Betty hadn’t come to Brian’s rescue during the bear’s visit, what might have happened?
Brain would probably have gotten mauled by the bear if betty the skunk did not come to his rescue.

3. Based on what you know about the outdoors, do the events in this story seem believable? Explain. No because a boy wouldn’t be the only passenger on a flight through Canada from New York at his age.

4. What theme does the relationship between Brian and Betty suggest?
Be nice to enexpected friend’s.

5. Write a paragraph that describes what Brian’s actions in the wilderness reveal about his character. Use details from the story to support your answer. Brain has probably been in boy scouts before because his actions in the wilderness seem smart.

For about a century, wars have began and ended between two civilizations, the people of Rome and the people of Carthage. These battles killed thousands of people. In the end, only one civilization came out victor. We’ve put together a summery about these massive wars. First of all, the word Punic comes from the Latin language Phoenicia. We thought you might be wondering were the word Punic came from.

First Punic War: 264-241 BC

The three wars between Rome and Carthage span lasted 246B.C. – 146B.c..

The wars began when Rome intervened to prevent Carthage, Syracuse from controlling strait of Messina. The first flares went up Sicily In the east Greek settlement. When Rome went over to Carthage the Carthage people were very angry with Rome. Rome was under Carthage control before starting a war between Rome and Carthage because they wanted to be free from Cartages control. After, they went to other places that Carthage had control. Why Rome won all of the wars were because they had more soldiers. All Carthage had was money and riches. After all the wars it was Rome how had money and riches and more soldiers.

The Second Punic War: 218-202 BC

Carthage rebuilt there empire by taking over Spain. A small town in Spain got a peace treaty from Rome and agreed to help. When the new Carthage leader, Hannibal, heard of this, he took control of the town. The Romans tried to peacefully solve the problem, but were forced to start war, but the Carthage army was larger and more powerful.

The Carthage army was advancing into Rome controlled areas. The Romans tried their best to fight, but they were no mach. Allies to Rome started to join Carthage. The Romans had to stop Hannibal. They sent eighty thousand men to Italy to fight. Amazingly, Rome lost that battle, but not the war.

The Romans went back to the strategy of waiting out Hannibal. Hannibal was starting to run low on supplies and men, but he still attacked Rome. Rome was fighting defensively and was starting to win the war.

The Romans fought back the Carthage army and took back Spain. Rome than pushed back Hannibal out of Italy, too. One battle remained. Roman allies helped Rome. The final result of the second Punic war was Rome. The Romans had become a international empire!

The Third Punic War: 149-146 BC

The Carthaginian started attacking invading neighbors but Rome was way to powerful for the Carthaginians, so Carthage lost again. Rome had riches because they had control of Carthage after the wars they went to all the Carthage places to battle with them and Rome always won against Carthage because Rome had more soldier more than Carthage.

Conclusion

We learned that Rome was a very powerful and it was a big land. Carthage we learned that Carthage were just rich. We learned Rome had many soldiers and weapons. Soon after the wars, Rome was the one with riches. We have learned a lot if things about the Punic wars. Let’s just make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.

Basketball
I hear the swoosh as I hit the basket.
I hear the buzzer as it goes off when I shoot the ball.

I feel the basketball as it leaves my hand.
I feel the rim as I slam dunk the ball.

I see foul shots when people get fouled.
I see people being carried off the court because they got hurt.

I taste the Gatorade pouring down my throat.
I taste the blood as it trickles down my mouth.

I smell the hard gym floor as I play on the court.
I smell sweat after the game.

The game of football is very popular in North America. We’ll Ronnie, Wade, and Tyler wanted to play football so, Tyler decided he would be quarterback wade would be a fullback, and Ronnie running back but, how was wide receiver?

So we went around all the school asking for a wide receiver. So if we did not find one fast bye football. You know I had a feeling that we won’t find one. You know what this dude walked up to me and said if you can’t find any one better I will play. Said Grant. We went to the football field and played a couple downs he was great he almost tackled everyone. The real problem is that the game is this Saturday.

He does not have enough practice to ace the game. We had to suit him up with him with the football and a tackle suit so we could tackle him well he has the ball. Luckily he was great are jaws dropped suddenly there he was standing in the in zone and, then we knew he was ready for the game his face was enchanted with happiness and
Nervousness.

Although he could tackle and run fast he still had to try to catch the ball. So the next day he went to the field we played two on two. It was I and Ronnie and Grant and Wade. He was the wide receiver so we knew had to catch this one. We did the first down and it was a throw pass suddenly he missed the ball by a couple feet witch it is not bad it just, was not good. So we retried and then he could not catch the ball.

I sat up in bed that night and wonder what we would do if we didn’t have grant we would lose the game but the game is tomorrow. Lets win I thought I went to sleep I dream I won so I would feel better.

This is game day we went to the football field we throw ball to grant he fumbled it. He went to the game when we started him when the ball hit grants hands he caught it he lunged to the touchdown. He was suddenly good at it.

I asked him how he got good. He said his sister thrower it to him all night long. I said would you get tired though. Well if I am tired take me out of the game I am going to try to stay in all the time I can. We don’t have another player so you have to stay in the game. This is the last down so hit it hard guys. We called hike the ball flew to the quarterback throw it to grant it looked it was not going to make it because he was bubbling it he caught in the in zone we had won the finals.

Hi, my name is Tyler and I am in the sixth grade in the future I plan on going to college in Missouri. Then I want to play as professional football player. I enjoy reading, playing football. My favorite colors are red, white, and blue.
