The Spider is a book about this spider who is really funny. The book teaches you all about spiders. If you don’t like spiders the author has other books, like The Fly, The Worm, The Rat, The Slug, Head Lice, and The Toad. This book was made in 2015, when I was two years old. It is better than any book ever made, as well as those in the future! Buy it now! Even the pigeon would read it. Buy it this second!

Where do you go five days a week to learn? Where do you see your friends? What place is it? You go to school!

There might be art at school. During art, you might have two teachers or one. In art, you might use crayons, markers, paint, Sharpies, pencils, colored pencils, or pastels. During art time, you can draw and write your name. The first thing you might do is plan out what you are going to draw and what colors you want to use in your picture. There are so many materials you might use.

Something else you might do at school is P.E. During P.E., you can run. You might play with a ball or play games! There will be a coach. P.E. is like playing on a playground. You will skip, run, hop, gallop, bear crawl, and crab walk. You might play sports. You might have breaks and drink some water.

Do you want to know another thing you can do at school? You might have music! During music, you can sing and play an instrument. You might play the piano, the trumpet, and so many more instruments. Do you like to play instruments?

Do you know what else you can learn at school? Science! Science can be fun. The teacher will teach you a lot! You can be smart by doing science. Here are some things you might learn about: fossils, dinosaurs, other people, and so many other things!

You can be smart by doing some things in math. When you’re in the lower grades, you will learn easy math. You might do addition and subtraction. In Upper School, you will do harder math than the lower grades.

Some schools wear special clothes called uniforms. Uniforms might not be very colorful. At other schools, you might wear regular, comfortable clothes that can be colorful. You might like to wear regular clothes.

Do you like to eat? Something you might eat at school is a snack. Your school will probably ask you to bring your own snack. During snack time, you take a break and you eat. Later, you might eat lunch. At some schools, there is hot lunch. Hot lunch does not have to be hot. At some schools, you can choose what to eat, but sometimes there might be a lot of choices. Hot lunch can help you because you don’t have to carry your lunch in your backpack.

There are so many grades. When you are in a small grade, you will learn easy stuff. When you’re in the higher grades, you will learn harder stuff. You will be in the lower grades first, so it will not be too hard.

SNAKES’ FANGS Troy Chan

Snakes’ fangs are as sharp as an eagle’s eye An eagle’s eye is as sharp as a sharp pencil A sharp pencil is as sharp as a yellow crayon Yellow as the sun Hot as the color red Red as anger Angry as tornadoes sucking everything up like a black hole As black as the night sky, twinkling as bright as the stars Like a mole digging for similes like ME!
