Tim's Adventure of Fun

Once upon a time, I was sitting on a cloud. Then I was bored so I jumped down and landed in the Atlantic Ocean. Then I evaporated up to the big clouds, and I saw a lot of people. Then I landed in the Atlantic Ocean again for two years and saw a tuna, a shark, a tiger shark, a jellyfish, and like 500 sea turtles.

Then I evaporated up to the clouds for a year and saw a big building then swoosh I fell out of the sky like a hawk and landed on a big turtle and saw a bunch of spotted raccoons. Then I landed in the big blue Atlantic Ocean. I saw like 100,000 jellyfish. Then I saw a shark hit me and I flew like a eagle and landed on soil. After I went up to the clouds and never came back down!!!

Happy Adventures

Drop

First I was in a camel, then I immediately evaporated.The cloud moved all the way to Antartica which was a long far away drive, I met another droplet (droppy) but he got dropped off at a garden. I was so sad, soon I dropped in glacier but just then I got evaporated, before I knew where I was, I was in groundwater coming up to soil then another cloud! About 3 minutes later I was in an ocean, the Atlantic Ocean. Ahhhhhh! Oops back in a cloud again.

The Journey

I started in Lake Lanier, then I was blown to the Mississippi River. After that I evaporated into a big, fat, puffy cloud. Next I was blown back to Lake Lanier, where I saw my parents and said hi to them. After that I was washed up to land, and I was pushed into the soil. Last I flew into a cloud like a bird.

Droplet

One day there was a bear named Bob.He shook his fur as fast as a car spinning. I was sitting on him with my droplet friends and I fell in the soil. I evaporated and I came up to the clouds as water vapor. After I got evaporated it started raining and then I flew faster than Batman to the ground. Then after I landed, I became groundwater.

After I rested with the other groundwater, I traveled to the Atlantic Ocean, then again I got evaporated. I know I was getting evaporated because I was flying... Again it started raining and I fell in the groundwater.

I fell into the Chattahoochee River. I finally flew up again and got evaporated. It rained and I fell down into groundwater. Finally, I evaporated then I rained on a glacier.

What makes a hero?

Our next SEM unit is about heroes, who they are, why we think of them as a hero, and what characteristics we admire in our heroes.
