Chinese Warriors

There is a movie about Mulan. It is a great Chinese
legend. It has Chinese warriors in it. Actually, it is all
about Chinese warriors. They are really cool. -Andrew F. & Jonah E. 1-B

Girls Scouts
Girls Scouts is fun for girls of every age. We met for Girl Scouts in the
high school/middle school cafeteria. I went to Girl Scouts with my friends.
In Girl Scouts, we made fun things including paper duck tape bags. They
were made from paper bags and duck tape. The bags were colorful. We
also made cupcakes. All the Jr. Girl Scouts said, “Mmmm” when they
tasted them. My troop leaders helped us make Jr. sashes that were green
and smooth. My troop leaders also put on badges. We got badges if we did
good things. We also made scrapbooks out of paper and paper bags. We
ate snacks. During snack time, the kids were loud. We also played games
with friends. The Girl Scouts went on a trip to Wolf Mountain. I looked
forward to scouts. Girl Scouts made me happy and excited. -Marissa N.
