As you and the rest of the world knows, it’s been a tough time lately. But do you know what I saw today? Do you know? Not a single rainbow, but a DOUBLE RAINBOW!!! This rainbow was literally the first double rainbow I have ever seen in my entire life. In these rough times a DOUBLE RAINBOW is a sign of hope and awesomeness. Stay safe peeps!

William and I jerked up, rushing to see what had boomed the island. Phineas was stalking over to the edge of the shore, squinting his eyes. A colossal ship glided through the water, making the waves ripple like a blanket. Our ship—well, what was left of it—had been perished, the sea gobbling up the wood. As the ship floated closer, I could see a numerous amount of pirates. There must have been at least thirty! I scurried back, away from the shore. I clutched william’s hand and started running towards the trees in the middle of the island. “Jack,  what  are you doing?” he hollered, stumbling as he ran with me. “We have got to get away from those pirates, there are at least thirty,” I panted, looking for an area to hide. “We can’t run away,”  William started, “It is our honor to fight for our dignity.” I stopped, looking right and left then back at William. “Well, there’s no point in fighting for your dignity if thirty pirates are going to destroy you and your dignity.” William hesitated

We were with our crew member, right? The story continues! As my eyes opened, I could feel myself drenched, and seaweed lingered in my boot. My life-long friend, William, choked out water and started screaming. A trout leaped inside his trousers, flopping for water. It bounded out, scurrying toward the shore. “Oh no you don’t,” I heard William mutter. He scrambled to his feet and wrestled for the fish. He gingerly held it in his hands, and announced, “I’ve got tonight’s meal!” The whole crew stayed silent for a moment, their mouths in wide O’s. Then suddenly, everyone started cracking up. “A trout in Willie’s pants! That’s a good laugh!” they bellowed, pointing their nasty fingers at William. William’s proud smile faltered. “I know it might’ve been funny to you, but without me, we wouldn’t have caught this big trout!” he tried to say over the laughter. He was right. The trout must’ve been as long as my arm! The crew members’ laughter died down as Phineas Copre walked over. “What are you

This is a story about a crew member on a voyage from the 1800s. The ship was rocking from side to side, as if the ocean’s arms were cradling us.  The wind billowed in the mast, and the boat creaked. It was the second voyage, and it wasn’t the smoothest one.  I tried to keep what little I ate inside my stomach, but stale bread ended up hurling off the boat. Our captain, Phineas Copre, stood strong even through the harsh weather.  He shouted to the crew, “Get on board!  Land is approaching!” The words caught in the wind, but they rang loudly in my ears.  There was land! After 39 days, there was finally land!  I pulled myself up and hurried to the captain.  We all steered and turned, the boat rocking even more.  One of our crew members fell off the ship!  I could hear the wooden boards creaking beneath my feet, moaning from all the weight.  Lightening suddenly hit the mast!  The boat shook, and a huge wave came hurtling toward us.  Tune in soon to find out what happens!

Keeping good friends Tips for being awesome: Study everyday Build a good reputation (more on that later) Exercise your body; stay healthy :) Stay off video games AMAP (as much as possible) Know which friends are good Yikes things you might see in middle school: Friends changing Bullying PUBERTY (gross, talk to your parents about that bleh) Building a good reputation: Be responsible Be honest Think about the consequences before acting Have self-control (do homework instead of watching a movie) Try not to be involved in drama (no gossiping or spreading rumors) Number one rule: If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all. How to handle when you are mad: Count to ten STAY CALM Say stuff in a calm voice Don't yell or scream or throw! Big no-no! How to handle bullies: Tell an adult you trust (obviously).

HELLO FLORIDA! Today, the weather will be a thousand degrees Fahrenheit will some mugginess in the morning.  I have to walk through this, and rain, EVERYDAY.  Luckily, I have been swimming lately, and that keeps the coolness up. Even in the summer, we are all still stuck in the house. I can’t go on a mini family vacation, which is sad. But I have heard from a couple people on Zoom that they are traveling...what? I think everyone in America is sick of being home all the time. I know I am! I will write more than random stuff, don’t worry!  I just decided to write in the morning today because I have to work the rest of today. Sorry I have not been able to write, I am working on assignments and a coding video game! I will post the game here so you can play when I’m finished.  See ya on the flip side, Rachel

Here's a summer poem I think we can all relate to: It's a little hotter The sun is here I want to put off winter Just until next year Vacations at the beach Going where paradise roams It's time to relax But I guess I'm staying home Still stuck in the house It feels like a second summer We can't have family outings What a bummer I could go swimming in my pool Right out that door I can be at a soccer game Using socks on the floor I can entertain myself AGAIN I can try to talk to my friends But there won't be an answer With all the time they spend* I look outside In the boiling heat At least ice cream season is here What a treat! I think about summer And what its future holds All I know is that I think I'm getting old Hope you like it! By the way, I post things around 3-4 (my summer work finish time) so hopefully there will be a new post for you there everyday :) Some friends don

Ah, the delights of summer. A vacation in some awesome place you've never visited, video games of a lifetime, and relaxation! Not anymore. Right after school ended, my mom had this great idea. "You should do workbooks" plopped right into her head. Here I am, scribbling down algebra equations while someone else is playing Roblox (not sponsored), drinking lemonade and enjoying the life. Luckily, even though I still do educational stuff, I still play video games with my friends! Sadly, as the summer goes on, we talk less and less. I hope middle school won't be like that, but people change :( Florida summer is HOT. The sun beats down on your entire body, pressing as if you are being interrogated. I take walks everyday with my parents and it is so scorching! Have any summer stories? Keep me posted ;) See you on the flip side, Rachel

Every night before I go to sleep, my mom helps me stretch my legs so I can get "taller." When I woke up this morning, my parents stared at me. My dad said, "Did you grow overnight?" I guess I did? Try stretching people! You'll get taller! Also, I tried this fun program called KANO (not sponsored or anything) and it is super fun. You can code, make art, and complete coding challenges. It is super fun! Try it out!
