The Cross Country Race

The cross country day is finally here!

Before the race I felt anxious and apprehensive. I had butterflies in my tummy…... but I was still a little excited. Even though I was nervous I was still pumped and ready for the race. I was more worried about coming last.

CLAP! The clappers crack together creating a sound as loud as an explosion and the race begins. I feel like the wind is pushing me forward telling me to go faster. My arms remain at a normal pace. I can feel a river of sweat running down my cheeks. My first lap was done. “I can do it, I can do it!” I chant to myself.

After my second lap I was exhausted. I could see the the finish line in the corner of my eye. I can hear the spectators cheering and with a little burst of speed I dash to the finish line. Yay! Although I did not win I’m still proud that I did not stop. I’m so relieved it was over!

The Moon

Have you ever looked up into the night sky and seen that white glowing orb, and wondered what does the moon really do?

First off, astronauts. Landing on the moon isn’t always successful. Sometimes it is, being on the moon isn’t the same as being on earth. Traveling to the moon even. You would have to pack dried fruit and hard ice cream.

It takes about 28 to 31 days for the moon to orbit the earth. In the month the moon changes shapes which is known as moon phases. It goes from new moon to waxing to half moon to waning and then full moon.

When you land on the moon it has less gravity, so when you jump you will jump higher and go down slower. You don’t go into space with your normal clothes on. You have to put on this suit called an astronaut suit. It helps you to breathe and stay on the moon.  

Now do you think the moon is important? By the way you can’t live on the moon. It’s impossible to live on the moon because there is no grass to grow anything and we would freeze to death since the earth can cover the sun.
