Roskamp

12 February 2016

It was a nice Sunny day. Sara Williams, Josie Roskamp and Theodore  DeVries  were teaching their  sweet classes when they heard they where getting a new kid this morning and that new kid was gonna be in Sara Williams classroom. So anyways then the lockdown alarm goes off and they quickly told their classes to go hide in the corner.  Everything was going great until Sara Williams heard a banging on her door and as being the new teacher she thought it was a joke. So, she walked to the door and (avoiding the kids screaming at her not to open the door” ) what did she do? That’s right, she opened it. She saw a man in a black mask with blue eyes. This person was short and so she still thought it was a joke. She welcomed him into class thinking he was the new student. As you know, when a person walks into class with a mask on and you can only see their eyes, an alarm goes off in your head telling you it’s a bad person.  Well, in Sara Williams mind an alarm went off saying “ new kid, new kid, welcome him”. So anyways Sara Williams sat the new kid next to her desk  so she could help him with anything he needed help with. She thought it would be good to put someone who pays attention in class next to him so she put Kaylee next to him

The next day  The new kid ( Joe) was at school before everyone else was. Kaylee and Sara Williams got to school at the same time so Kaylee started asking her a few questions about the work they were doing in class. Sara Williams answered most of them but for one she wanted to make sure it was right so she walked into her class after unlocking it and noticed that the papers that were on her desk  last night where not there.  Kaylee and Sara Williams looked out into the commons and saw Joe with a pile of papers by him.   Sara Williams  thought he was just studying for the Bible test they had today so she didn’t suspect anything. Kaylee on the other hand knew there was something wrong because Sara Williams would NEVER give that much paper to her students. She was about to say something when Mrs.Williams A.K.A Sara Williams  tapped her on the shoulder to tell her the answer of her question. Kaylee like every other person jumped and smacked Mrs.Will on accident. Mrs.Will fell to the floor and didn’t move. Kaylee quickly bent down to try and help her but it was not working. She saw Josie Roskamp walking down the hall and quickly got to her feet and ran to the door to get Josie Roskamp. As she was getting her she saw Joe go to the printer and print off more papers.   She forgot all about Mrs.Will who was on the floor. She ran to the printer to see if there was anymore papers but Joe had taken them all. After that she remembered about Mrs.Will and quickly ran back to find that Mrs.Will was no longer on the floor but gone!!!. She felt the rush of guilt as she quickly scanned for Mrs.Will. She didn’t see her so she asked Abby G and Emily if they saw anything. Abby G sat there playing with her hair saying she saw someone carry Mrs. Will to  Josie Roskamp’s room.  Then Kaylee asked Emily and Emily said she saw someone carry Mrs.Will into Mr. B’s room. ( Just so you know, the rooms are at to opposite ends off the school.) So anyways, she got a hunch  that maybe Abby or Emily took Mrs.Will but she had no time for this right now. She had to find Mrs.Will before school started and fast before it was too late. She had about 3 minutes before she would have to confess what she did. So anyways,  she ran to  Josie Roskamps room A.KA Mrs.Roskamp, saw no sign of Mrs.Will so went to  Theodore  DeVries  A.K.A Mr. DeVries. of course Mr.DeVries  was not in his room. She was walking back  to Mrs.Will’s room to think when she saw Joe. They both linked eyes and then Joe ran off. Kaylee, wanting to get answers out of him, ran after him. Once she found him she asked

“ What were those papers you were studying?

Joe replied “ um…… Bible, Spanish , Bible in spanish!”  

Kaylee replied “ It can’t be both!” Give them here!”

Joe and Kaylee fought over the papers until they spilled out.Kaylee saw they were the exact same papers on Mrs. Williams desk only they were gone now.

“Aha!- So you did take them!” Kaylee yelled

“No! I didn’t. Someone gave them to me” Replied Joe

So by now you’re probably  wondering what happened to Mrs.Will and is she ok?-  Well I can’t tell you right now because it would give the whole mystery away but while Kaylee and  Joe were fighting Mrs.Roskamp and Mr.DeVries snuck out of class and went into the teacher’s lounge.  Kaylee spotted them walking out and she asked Mrs Roskamp, “Um Mrs.Roskamp, shouldn’t you both be teaching?” Mrs.Roskamp, Being sassy from not having her run this morning snapped back “ Yea what you gonna do about it? Shouldn’t you should be in class right now?” Snapped Mrs.Roskamp, “And if you say one word about this then you will be where, well nevermind.” So after that long chat with Mrs.Roskamp, Kaylee turned around to see Joe still standing there.

Ok so what happened to Mrs.Will- Mrs.Roskamp and Mr.Devries dragged Mrs.Will  to the teachers lounge after Kaylee hit her  and locked her in a closet. Then they gave Joe a few copies of  the paper that was on Mrs.Will’s desk and told him not to say a word about them.  Since they didn’t like Mrs.Will, ( because she was the new teacher) they planned to get her fired because she would have been in the closet for too long. and they really just didn’t like her because she was very pretty and she was attracting all the boys from Josie Roskamp 🙂

              The End By Lemony Snicket. There are three kids and throughout the books they have to keep going to family members because their parents died and Count Olaf was their first guardian after their parents died and he wants to get ahold of  their money. In the last book The End the kids and Count Olaf get stranded on the same Island and have to live with each other until Count Olaf finally dies. The kids don’t realize it until he takes his last breath and finally dies.  He dies from a poisonous mushroom. He brought the mushroom  from where they were before so he could threaten everyone to do what he says. Count Olaf wants everything his way because he is greedy and he want money. In the last books Count Olaf had some other people helping him with his ideas but in this book they got separated so  it was just Count Olaf and the three kids.

                The kids get stuck in a boat with Count Olaf. The kids just got away from the burning Hotel in the last book and Count Olaf got away too after starting the fire. The thing is the kids took the boat that was sitting on top of the roof and jumped in it and then slid into the ocean right next to to the hotel. Count olaf also got in but he got in before so he didn’t know the kids were in there with him but he was not awake because he inhaled so much smoke it knocked him out. When he woke up they kids were at one end of  the boat and he was at the other.  They woke up and saw him and he saw them. He had a grin on his face because this whole time he was trying to get them and he thought he had finally gotten them and he was gonna win but then he died and it was his fault.

                Stuck on an island with Olaf. After the long boat ride with Olaf the kids and him finally get off the boat  and see this small island that they can go to and rest up. Once they get their they notice Count Olaf is not with them because when they first got to the island this little person ran up to them and greeted them and Olaf was rude and she said they don’t  let rude people on the island so Olaf got left behind because he was being selfish and rude when he and the little person met. So now Olaf had to find his own  way  off living because he got kicked off the island sort of.

                Watching Olaf speak his last words. The whole Island was infected by the Fungus because Count Olaf acted like someone he was not and then he got shot in the stomach only the helmet was their and it held the mushroom so after the glass shattered everyone was infected. After that everyone blamed the kids because they said Count Olaf came with the kids so the kids got blamed and were never to be seen on the island again.  Then the people who were on the island leave and are never to be seen again. Then when the kids go to find the apple they come back and count Olaf in lying down about to die and they don’t give him an apple because of all the mean and bad things he did to them so when he says something  the kids don’t realize that those words are gonna be his last words they ever hear from him again.

                 Treat others the way you would want to be treated.  My opinion of  the book is that it was good and that you should be kind to others because someday they will slipaway and you might not ever get to see them again. Just like when Count Olaf died the kids didn’t realize it until they looked over at him and saw he was not breathing anymore. Even though he treated them horribly i don’t think it was fair for him to die  that way.

The sunglasses reminds me of our family trip to Seattle Washington ,California,Portland. We saw mountains,valley’s and places that I never knew where their. I never knew  that mountains were so pretty and I never knew that climbing a rock would be so fun. When we were on our way down it felt like forever because we kept having to turn and then turn again to get down and it was the same way on our way up. We took the back way on our way down and when you were going up if you looked down it felt like you would fall because you were bending forward to look down. The view from the top of the mountain is like a postcard because it looks so fake but it’s really not from a postcard because it’s really real.

The Ladder reminds me of when my dad,uncle,aunt,cousins and I hiked up Smith rock. You would never think that when you look at Smith rock from the bottom that it would only take 2 hours to hike up and 1 hour down but it’s true. We started at the bottom and I was doing pretty good until we got about half way. Then all of  a sudden I felt a piercing pain in my side from bending over every 2 minutes from hiking. Everyone says it’s ok because we are almost there but it felt like forever before we got to the top. But it was worth hiking because it was the most beautiful view ever!  The view from the top was like a desert with dead tries and a little river, you know the kind you might see in a kids book only this picture was real.

The Globe remind me of flying to Portland with my family. We drove to chicago July 3lst and when we got there we stayed in a hotel for the night. The next morning we all woke us to the piercing sound of an alarm clock although it was also my grandma waking us up because she didn’t wanna be late for the plane. We got to the airport about an 1 early and we ate their and we waited. When it was finally out time to get on my grandma made it on first and then my cousin and I went and sat with her. We were in the plane for 4 hours and when we finally made the view was beautiful. When we hit the ground it felt like a big bump in the road because we went up a little in our seats. But we were finally their. The view was like a picture in a book only this picture book view was real.

8th grade theme writing

Matthew 7:24-25

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like the wise man who built his house on the rock. Then the rain came down. The streams rose. The winds blew and beat against that house. Yet it did not fall because it had it’s foundation on the rock.

When we went to camp with the 8th grade teachers at the end of  7th grade we talked about what we wanted our theme verse to be. We all went into groups and we talked about it and at the end we all voted and  Matthew 7:24-25 is what everyone chose.  (Our theme this year, “Built on the Rock”, means a lot to me as both an 8th grader at ZCS and as a Christian in the world.)

To me being an 8th grader means you’re looked up to, people watch what you do and they wanna do the same. It also   means that you can be a small group leader. In 6 and 7th grade I would always look up to the small group leaders and the 8th graders.  I would always with that i could become a small group leader and now here I am! I’m a small group leader.  Being an 8th grader means to me that you should be good in class and not kid around. I feel pressured because everyone wants you to be good at everything.

To me being a christian means you go to church,you pray, you love God and you don’t say bad words or use his name in vain.  When you have a problem pray to God and ask him to forgive you or to help you through your problem. God is my best friend and i know i can trust him with anything. I accepted Christ on January 1 2014 and it was the best decision of my life! Being a christian to me means that people follow christ.

(Our theme this year, “Built on the Rock”, means a lot to me as both an 8th grader at ZCS and as a Christian in the world.) I think this is a great verse for our school. It teaches us that you can build your house on the rock because the rock is God.
