Adventures in Teaching: 24 Years Ago...

Somebody very important was born...ME! I've had better birthdays, but it wasn't for lack of trying. My friends had dinner planned, but the weather changed those. My class wanted to have a fun day, but the practice TAKS day kept that from happening. And dinner was supposed to be fun, but something that wasn't supposed to be in the food ruined the mood and the rest of dinner. The bright side...we got free food and dessert! One of the highlights of my day was a gift I received from one of my students. It has no monetary value, but the thought is worth $9,000,001.

Queen L's Adventure!!! by Ashley

Queen L was the queen of L-topia. She had silky hair, beautiful eyes, a pearl necklace, and a gown that would please all.

One day Queen L got up and called one of her maids. She yelled, "Pearl, get up here!" Maid Pearl quickly got up and replied back, "Here is your breakfast Queen L."

While Queen L was eating breakfast peacefully in her room, she thought to herself, "It is fun being queen, but what is it like being a normal person?"

A little while later, her assistant, Sasha burst through the door and shouted, "Britney quit!" Britney was her favorite cook. Sasha ran to the kitchen as fast as she could, but it was too late. Britney was gone, probably houses away!

When it was lunchtime, Queen L packed her things. Then her butler, Ross, noticed her packing. She explained to him how she wanted to experience life as a normal person. Queen L was gone with her old clothes (to match the people of the town), bread, cantaloupe, and $9,000,001!

She stayed at Clint's hotel for the night. She met a lot of people, like baker Hillson. She met everyone in town and learned how everyone contributed to making the town work. She realized how hard being a normal person was. She really began to appreciate everyone. Then she snuck back into the palace and began to see everything in a new light.
