In ten years I will invent a time machine so I can be Mrs.Taylor Laughtner.  I'll be Vermont's new role model, a singing sensation, super model and a spy. All i have to do is:
1. Make a time machine
2. Meet Taylor Laughtner
3. Don`t meet myself because it will rip time and all life will end
4. Marry Taylor Laughtner
5. Get on the news
6. Never do something to make me or Taylor look bad
7. Go on the new show "Duets"
8. Win "Duets"
9. Go to spy school
10. Never be seen
11. Move to the greatest city of all time in that time.
That is what I`m going to do in ten years, but you never know. I might marry Cody Simpson instead!

In ten years I will have an owl, two cats, two dogs, and ten
fish. I will live in on a farm in Vermont and have big woods
behind my house and take my dogs for walks in the woods
and at night. I will look at the stars in the fields. I will own a
bakery. I will ski at Bolton and be a ski instructor and I will
write stories.

In ten years  I will have made it to the major baseball leagues I will  have a least hit one home run I will have iPhone 10g I will have a wife but no kids I would save that until ten years after that. so this is my story '"mm why do i have to be out coach I have hit more homers then any one on the team except for Noel but he has been playing much longer than me". "Because your bleeding".  "Oh please it's a minor oh okay umm  can i go to the doctor cause this actually hurts a lot more than you think especially sense it's my  throwing arm"! '' fine just go in the hospital because we need that arm on Saturday oh ya and your pitching". when i get to the hospital in my own private limo everyone makes way because i have hit more home runs then any body since 1992 I have become famous not just with the USA but with Russia and  all the other countries I am also a really great actor I have written more play then hit base hits and I also play every single kind of string instrument so that's fun plus guess what I bought my own island! and i have my own sort of bunker there but its not really in use except I do have like a million families that live there I have enough  food there to give them food for the next year! but back to the hospital sense i have a butler and I am loosing lots of blood he helped me into the elevator and everything else but when I got there he said "I have to go to the intensive care unit my wife is in there" and so far that all that has happened since i was ten.

Saying goodbye is like saying goodbye

to a part of you.

If you have lived in one place

all your life, you become attached to it

and leaving is so hard.

I said goodbye to my country

my home

my language

my friends

my bed

my sounds

my culture

my belonging

my birthparents.

I came home to new surroundings.

Everything was so new to me.

Slowly I came to know my new home

and I came to know my new family.

I found a part of myself I never knew I had before.

I now have a very loving family.

I still have part of my country inside me.

This is what I have learned:

Saying goodbye is difficult,

but new things can happen when you 

say goodbye.

Harry the Bunny

By Delaney Brunvand

Harry the bunny lived in a shack,

Harry the bunny slept on a mat.

When he looked up he saw nothing but sky,

For he couldn’t afford his expenses to be so high.

One day he heard someone knock on his door,

So he stood up, and walked across the floor.

He opened the door and said “What do you need?”

“You’ve won one million dollars!”

“Are you serious?”

“Indeed!”

Seven months later,

he thought in his head,

With this new T.V,

I’m totally livin’ the dream in this old shed!

Marvelous
Amazing
Never disappoints
Glistening
Oval

Robert the Bunny
By Delaney Brunvand

There once lived Robert the Bunny,
who loved to have fun in the sunny,
But one day he lost all his money,
Because his dad got stuck in honey.

Fall

by Delaney Brunvand

The leaves are curling,
And changing colors.

The apples are ready,
and sweet to the last bite.

The days are shortening,
and getting dark.

The children are playing,
in the park.

The Beach

By Delaney Brunvand

The sun is glowing,
The water is flowing,
sand on your feet,
while the seagulls eat.

the ice cream bell is ringing,
the jellyfish are stinging,
the sand's in your toes,
as a light breeze blows.

Homework

I’ve done my math,

I’ve done my spelling,

I’ve done geography.

I’ve done all my homework,

OOPS!

I’ve forgotten to write my poem!

I worked so hard

And now it’s night

I swing my legs out of bed.

My parents are scolding me,

For I forgot to

Write my poem!

All Hail the Storm

The porch rattles with violence,

Hail comes down in large chunks,

All hail the storm.

Rain crushes itself against the roof,

Bruises appear in the ground,

All hail the storm.

Once there was a beautiful princess that was named Alece. Alece was sad because she was forced to marry a gross and ugly man.
“Alece,” said Marea, Alece's sister. “Let's get ready for the wedding.”  
The next thing she noticed, she was in a white dress and walking with her dad to Bob, the disgusting man that she had to marry.
“Now you may kiss the bride,” said the priest.
Alece was so scared.  Then Alece saw a white rabbit that had a clock. The rabbit tapped the clock and said, “Time is running out.”
Alece ran and followed the rabbit through a long path, then the rabbit jumped in a hole. Alece came to the hole and looked in. Alece could not see anything. Alece looked a little closer.  “AAAAAA!”
Alece fell into the hole. Alece stopped screaming.  She was on the floor.
“Hello?” said Alece. No one answered her.  She tried again, “Hello?”
The same thing happened; no one answered. She looked around.  There were no doors except one little door. Alece kneeled down and looked at the door, and then she looked around. Alece saw a piece of cake that said, “Eat this.” Alece was hungry, so she ate it. Then Alece started to shrink.  Then she ran to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. She looked around to see if there was a key.  She saw a glass of milk. Alece saw the milk and drank it. Then she started to grow. When Alece got back to the same height, she got the key and ate the cake. When Alece shrank to mouse size, Alece ran to the door and got the key and opened the door.
“Wow,” said Alece. “This is amazing.”
Then Alece heard rustling noises coming toward her. Alece ran and ran until she stopped.  There was a tall man in front of her.
“Hello, Alece,” Wonder said. Read more »

“Tea Mr. and Mrs. Olivander?” “Of course my dear.” “So, how’s your new shoes working out ?”
“Good very very good.” “How is your tea?” “Pleasant.” “Would you like to go for a walk ?” “Oh
no I couldn’t. “ “ OH NO I’m going to be late, late for a very important date!” “ What, what!” “I don’t

know but I’m going to be late !” “Well let’s finish our tea and go back to your house “ “No, no, no!” “I
must go!” “ Well he went fast for someone so proper!”

"Hi little ones I hope you like this kind of tea."
"The trees are beautiful with autumn leaves."
The rabbit man slowly goes, "what you can talk? ahhh!"
"Okay if you can talk answer this do you think I am going crazy because I sometimes wake up in the middle of a asylum?"
"Okay now you are really weird mate" the other one said and, "yeah we think your crazy."
"Ahhhh! Okay... now I just need to get out of my head, and go into the asylum but, um, did you guys like the tea? I loved it."
"Yeah all until you said stuff that was crazy!" they both said at the same time. "Okay, I am going into the forest to rest if, you guys want to give me some tips on how to get out of my own head, I'd be glad."
"Meditate, breathe deeply, try to go to sleep, and take a shower man. When you wake up you don't  want to wake up smelling like rotten eggs, right?"
"No."

I think they are talking about how they had very fun weekend and now they're sad because its Monday
morning and now they have to go to work.

twins: ok.
mr rabbit: bye, see you after school.
twins: bye.

I think they are chatting about the the latest gossip so the bunny is saying to the dolls, "Do you know that Queen Latifah is not Jay-Z's mom?" and one of the dolls just dramatically gasps as if a part of her died.

“I think the queen of hearts should be elected again” said Mr. Rabbit”.

“personally I think Cheshire Cat should be elected” said doll #1.

“Yes the queen of hearts has been in office for 64 terms now, and that
girl Alice is just a perfect candidate,” said doll #2.

“That queen is just great. She is stern and keeps the country in order”

said Mr. Rabbit. “A little to stern,” said the dolls together

“but Alice so sweet she charms everyone” said doll # 2.

“ and that Cheshire cat has a perplexing smile” said doll # 1.

“that cat is to mischievous for me” said Mr. rabbit

“bye Mr. rabbit, were off to vote in the election” said the dolls

“bye dolls, I hope you vote for the queen of hearts” said Mr.rabbit.

“yeah right” said the dolls.

Bright candles lighting

Fire steadily flowing

Swaying down the stream

Racing down the hill—flying

rounding the corner 

AND THEN!

Just before

going over the handlebars

what's happening?

slipping, falling, out of control

panicking, scared, shocked, surprised

frantic, trying to stop

What will happen if nobody hears me

yelling for help

Will I have to go

to the hospital?

Did I break any bones?

How will I get home?

Blood everywhere

Screaming for help

Crying

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Finally, I hear a car driving down

I see my dad

My mom is running

relieved but still shocked

going home

Green.

Green means go on traffic lights

and on most things that have

red and green lights

anywhere.

Green makes me feel good,

because it is my

favorite color.

Green is growing things

like flowers and trees,

the color of nature.

I really like green.

Green is  . . .

Green is the color of life:

Plants, trees, grass, the sea

Are all alive with green

Emerald green, spring green, swamp green, light green, sweet green, harsh green, morning green, fresh green, sour green, rich green, frog green.

The gift of life green.

"I can't!"

"Try."

"I can't."

"You can."

They stand, talking.

"Alright, I'll do it," she sighs.

She swings her leg over my branch. She pushes off, but can't get up.

"Try again."

She tries again.

He tries to boost her.

It doesn't help.

I whisper softly to her.

Inviting her forward.

Rustling my leaves.

Nodding slightly,

To reassure her,

Encouraging her.

She pushes hard, scraping my bark.

And then, she's up.

"I did it!" she shouts.

"I finally climbed the tree!"

I make my limbs stronger so I can support her.

"I did it!" she yells.

After years of holding back

She finally did it.

Joyful green.

Youthful green.

Loving green.

Oscar the Grouch
Lives in a garbage can
Green fuzzy grump

Plug your nose
He's stinky as can be
Rotten food, trash

But sometimes he's...
A really good friend and,
A good monster

Green is a beautiful color.  It is the color of leaves and grass.  Tis the color of money.  It is the color of friendship.  People o so love the color green.  Tis the color of part of the world.  Scotland and Ireland share the color green.  Green is an absolutely perfect color.  Grass grows green.  Rivers that are shallow sometimes have a tint of green.  Every garden has light green, dark green and green.  Evergreens stay green the whole year, pretty they are.  Never shall the color green, the one beloved color of our country be disqualified.  It is the color of our state, Vermont!

Green is still a loney color like a leaf on a tree.

Regardless of its name, green sticks out.

Everyone is peacefully in awe of green.

Even the smallest bug can see that green matters.

Not red, or blue, but green is home.

Greeting you pleasantly

Relaxing you and letting you think

Escaping to somewhere quiet

Exciting you when you wake

Nothing is better than the color green.

The color of a frog on a lily pad.

The rolling mountains we call our home.

The grass swaying in the field.

Extraordinary Color

When I think of Emma, beauty comes to mind. Her curly, shoulder-length, golden-brown hair bounces up and down with each step.  Emma’s hair matches her personality perfectly. She is spontaneous and humorous; Emma is always smiling.  Her eyes seem to twinkle and sparkle like a star in the sky. I imagine that on the inside Emma is just as shiny and bubbly, full of ideas and kindness. She is amazingly beautiful. I am so fortunate that Emma is my sister.

Tropical Storm Irene caused problems with traveling around the state of Vermont on both roads  and railroads. Tropical Storm Irene washed out roads and bridges making travel around the state hard or impossible to do. The Vermont government says the rebuilding cost of roads from Tropical Storm Irene is 1,000,000 dollars. Railroad tracks also were destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene. When Tropical Storm Irene washed out railroads, two trains full of food spoiled, which was worth $25,000. When food spoiled on the trains, there was a whole week that grocery stores had no new food. Tropical Storm Irene made traveling hard to do for people and products.

Rising fuel prices are a problem in the state of Vermont.  The price of fuel is increasing as a result the price of crude oil going up.  The price on average to ship crude oil to Vermont a year ago was $91.00, this year the price is about $102.00 for one barrel!   More people have to make the complicated choice of buying food or fuel in Vermont.  15- 20 percent of Vermonters need food assistance from food banks across Vermont.  Hopefully in a few years fuel prices won’t be a problem anymore.
