The Land of The Trees
By: Waites Wilson , 6th grade
My favorite place is the
woods. For one they are as
quite as a church mouse.
Also, there are many animals sniffing the forest
floor all around me, some
animals are even stocking
their prey to provide for
their family. As I see a hungry coyote pass by sniffing
the scents of a new born
fawn all I can think of is
danger.
The woods are very peaceful on someday, but other
days all you can hear are
the sounds of birds chirping in harmony, squirrels
chomping on freshly
dropped acorns from the
tops of the tall oak trees,
and the deer grazing on
grass.
The other animals figure
out that I’m not harm, and
go back to singing in perfect harmony, chomping
on the acorns from the tall

The Morning Struggle
By: Emily Harris
Are you not a morning person? Did you stay up
late finishing the assignment that’s due today?
Just didn’t get enough sleep? Well, here are a
few tricks to get you up and moving on school
days:
The night before

Lay out your outfit

Make sure your backpack and lunch are
packed and ready to grab and go
The morning of

Eat breakfast! An apple gives you more
energy than a cup of coffee and its effects
last longer

Set your alarm 10 minutes before you have
to get up so you can take your time get-
ting out of bed.
**Here’s an awesome idea: Use a morning
playlist for as long as it takes you to get ready,
so when a certain song comes on, you know the
amount of time you have left until you have to
leave.
