My pop quiz

1446822731745.1

I started off good with the quizzes with a three, but then I got 2 twos and a one. I started practicing more after the second two and I’ve been improving more. I’ve gotten 2 threes in a row I think.  I want to practice more at home so I get  some fours. I can practice more by doing all of the problems on the practice sheets instead of just a couple more.

Xtramath

I think I did pretty good on the three second part of Xtramath. When I finished that bit I didn’t know about the two second one until a week later, and I keep on forgetting to do it. I’m going to try to remember doing the 2 second one.

My Beowulf POV from Grendel

“Dum dum dum, out the fen I go! Over to Hall Heorot, where the muffins grow!” I sang while strolling to Hall Heorot. I had heard from my good friend Jim the bat that they had extremely good muffins at the hall. I thought, “Maybe I’ll go there and ask if I can have one.”

 

It took a long time, but I finally got to the hall. I was walking slowly and I had bags under my eyes because it was so long! “Knock knock,” and the door went “Boom!” it exploded. I forgot how strong I was. “Maybe next time I’ll shout so they can open the door,” I thought. I step into the hall, but it sounded like “STOMP!” I sighed in relief that no one woke up from that.

 

I tap the nearest person so I could ask for a muffin, but “Squish,” he’s dead. I quickly eat the remains “Chomp chomp.” so there’s no evidence that I accidently killed him. I take a step back, and accidently “Squish,” he’s dead to. So I eat him as well, so there’s no evidence. “Buuuuurppppp!” and I wake a couple of people up. I try to say, “Can I please have one of those delicious muffins you have?” but it comes out as, “Mmmmmmmuffmmm ahh don’t kill me!”

 

They try hitting me with swords, but no “Burst,” happens, no “Ow,” the swords just bounce off me. I start to laugh, “Hehehehehe make it stop! Hahahahaha! That tickles,” and then I get a cut. Someone must have scratched me. I start bleeding. “Owwww! Please stop attacking me,” and then I get angry. All I wanted was a muffin! I try running away from them, but I just make more people turn to red mush. I start feeling really bad because I killed all of these people. “I hope they can forgive me in the afterlife,” I thought. Once again, I eat the remains. “This tastes disgusting! At least the Fen God won’t get mad at me,” I thought.

 

I continue backing up until some weirdo grabbed my arm with his furry claws and clamped down. “AAYYYYYY! Stop! Let go! I just want a muffin!” but he doesn’t let go. He just digs in harder. “Mommy! Help me! I’m dyyyyyyyyyinnnngggg!” but she doesn’t come. I swing my arm, in an attempt to get him off. He just holds on harder. Then he starts transforming. He grows 5 more feet and hands. “Ahh! What kind of monster are you! Just be normal!” I say. He ignores me and grows 5 more legs and heads. I start seeing black at the edge of my mind. I make one last attempt to get him off. As before, he just grips harder.

 

“Pop!” my shoulder starts bleeding. It looks like a volcanic eruption! “OWWWWWWWW! That hurts! What did I ever do to you?” I say and run out the already broken down door and all the way to the fen.
