This weekend

This weekend I am going to the Dells. I am so excited! In the Dells we are going to a water park one day I think. Also this weekend is Halloween. We are getting home from the Dells the day before Halloween. So I can go trick or treating. I love going trick or treating. It is so fun and I love getting candy. This weekend I also am going to a Halloween party the day of Halloween.

Candy

There are many types of candy. My favorite candy would have to be a heath bar. The reason I like heath bars so much is because a heath bar has toffee in the inside with chocolate covering. They are so good. I like them so much that for my birthday I have a heath bar cake. This cake is very easy to make. The first step is to make an Angel food cake. Then you buy two heath bars and smash them into tiny pieces. You also have to buy a container of whipped cream. You put them heath bar pieces into the whipped cream and put a little chocolate sauce into the whipped cream and mix it together. Lastly you put the whipped cream mixture on to the Angel food cake. It is so yummy.

Beaches and Oceans

Dear friends,

In my life time I have gone to many beaches and oceans. Two of my favorite beaches are Mexico’s beach in Cancun, and Florida’s beach. The reason I like these beaches was because the ocean were a torques color. Both of the beaches were very pretty. The only thing I don’t like about beaches is the ocean the reason is. I love to play in the sand and make sand castles or something or dig a hole or something like that. After I play in the sand I have to wash the sand off. And I really don’t like the salt water. The water always goes into my eyes, mouth and nose. Then that makes me not want to go into that sand. That makes me sad. What are your favorite beaches.

Patriotism Essay

Does patriotism still matter?

By: Annie Collins

            Patriotism is what you need to have in order to believe in your country.  In order to believe in your country you need to have love, respect and loyalty to your country first.  I think that many people are patriotic, but some people think that patriotism does not matter anymore.  Here in America there is a lot of patriotism, but there are also not a lot of people that are patriotic.  Patriotism still matters, because if you don’t believe in your country, that means you’re not thankful for your freedom.    

            Here in America many people are patriotic, although there is a good amount of people that are not.  I don’t like to hear that because I then think not everyone is happy to be an American.  Also that the people that don’t believe in patriotism they don’t appreciate what the army and the government has done to make America a free country.  As I said before this makes me mad that some people don’t appreciate their freedom.  There are many ways to be patriotic.

            Here in America there are many ways to be patriotic.  A few of them are to say the Pledge of Allegiance.  Also to salute the flag is another way to be patriotic.  Citizens should show respect for the people that are fighting for their country.  These men and women are risking their lives for us.  Many people appreciate what these men and women do for our country but, many do not. 

Where ever you are in the world patriotism is very important.  This topic matters in many ways.  I think that this topic is not talked about as much as it should.  Many people think that it is not a good thing that there is a lot of fighting, but it actually is a good thing to keep us safe.  Patriotism still matters no matter where you live or what religion you are or what your skin color.  e
