The Train

The train is black and big. It takes place outside. People like the big black train.

It can take you where ever you want. It can take you to New York and Disney

Land. The train can fly and it can take you to the moon. It will give me a space

suit so we can take the moon rock and we get to feel it a lot. We like it. We get

to see all the planets in space. It has wings to make it look cool and paintings

on it. It has drums on the train. They have people playing songs so people

can be entertained. It has shows.

The Colorful Birds and His Friends

Once upon a time there was a bird but not just any bird. A colorful bird and it was special

because it could change colors. But this bird did not think it was special because he

wanted to be like the other birds. But the other birds wanted to be like him, so they were

very sad. But the colorful bird had an idea. He said, "maybe I could dress like the other

birds," and the other birds had the same idea. So one day they all met each other. But as

soon as they got there, they thought they were making fun of each other. So they got mad

and they went home and the colorful bird got a new friend that always thought he was

special. He asked his friend if the other birds were making fun of him and he said no. So

the next day he said sorry and made up. The colorful bird learned a lesson called

"you're just as special the way you are."

Dyed Hair and Lions

The hair is dyed many colors like blue, black, red and orange. This hair is on a wild animal

in the forest that I saw.The hair is nappy and it belongs to a lion. The lion has a brother and

the brother has longer and crazier hair than him. It's so crazy that you can not see the lions

eyes. Theres also a baby cub that has hair like Jimmy Newtron and the cub has a special

mouth that has a crew of lions. There is even a King and Queen lion and they ha three

little cubs. The King and Queen are so rich that they made their cubs have power.

Monster Skull

I see a monster head floating in the air. He is a mysterious monster because he has a mount

that can't open. No one knows why but he could still speak because he speaks with his eyes.

He has one yellow eye and one green eye but he has a secret. No one knows why. People

are still trying to figure it out. He only comes out on halloween and he has a huge nose. He

has a pink tail that is black. A squiggly face with one ear on his chin and a little pinch of white

dye. The white dye looks funny. That's why people make fun of him. His whole head is yellow.

The End

The Bike

The lights on the bike are the secret to start the bike. The wheels can't just roll, it has

gravity powers to. The bottom starts the bike. The bike is magical. Only the owner can

start the bike. I will say yip yip and the bike will start. You can also start the bike by

singing a rock and roll song. The bike can transform into a rescue boat and can destroy

all the bad guys in history. He is the most powerful bike in the world and none of the

people have heard of it. He can absorb anything in the world even a tornado. Then he

saw his wife and forgot about his owner. Instead, he only protected his wife instead of

protecting the world. The next morning the owner could not find his bike, now he will be

late for his date. Now the bike grew a beak and a tail. The bike can form a tornado.

Amari writing about Vaughan's painting

The Tornado

The tornado is shaped like a square. It is picking up a lot of houses and horses.

People are running from the tornado. The tornado is leaving a lot of dust. The

tornado was coming in the night time. The tornado hurt a lot of people. Lots got

injured. Some schools were destroyed. A lot of people were dead from the

tornado. The tornado was colorful. Some plants got destroyed.
