Valentine/Hero Party

For the 4th grade Valentine Party we honored our heroes with the written word, treats and hugs.  Here is a picture of each 4th grader, most shown with their hero.  The writing they did follows each picture.
                     MY HEROES
                      BY KAYDEN
Funny, heroic, amazing, fun! My heroes are all these things and many more.
I will tell you about my heroes my mom and dad.
At first I will explain why my mom is my hero.
The first reason my mom is my hero is because she takes care of me. Without her I would not have all the stuff I have now. Like if I had a basketball game. If she wasn’t there I would not have a way to get there on time and I would not get to play.
I remember when she took me and my sister to Chelan falls. Her sister came with my cousins to. First we went to wall-mart and got tubes and Subway to eat lunch. Then off to Chelan Falls we went. We floated on the water and jumped in all day. My favorite tube was the turtle because it was big and I can sun myself and also turtles rule!
My second hero is my dad!
My dad is my hero because he also gives me a house and food and water just like my mom. He also pays for my dirt bike, snowmobile and gas for them. He doesn’t just pay for stuff like food and motorized vehicles. But he is generous enough to pay for TV and videogames for me.
The second reason my dad is my hero is because he coaches my sports. For example, like football, baseball and, basketball and stuff like that so without him I wouldn’t get to play sports. My favorite thing about my dad coaching me is that at home he can just help me all by ourselves.
And those are the reasons my parents are my heroes.


Love, amazing,

You are my hero and every letter in your name makes me remember you Rachel.



                                                            Relative
                                                            Accurate
                                                            Charming
     Handy:
                                                          Enthusiastic:                                                         
For handy I wrote when I go to mom’s. You help me get my bed ready. You help me put on the sheets and blankets. You help me get a goodnight’s sleep. 
For enthusiastic I wrote you knew I had a bb game and you came. You watched me do mini cheer camp dance out on the gym floor. When I came back you told me “You did a good job”. You made me feel good. When I heard your voice say “I like that dance”, I felt like doing another cheer and I was so happy I wanted to jump up and down.    
Love
That is the end of the hero poem I hoped you liked it Rachel remember this is for you   I .



Kind, nice, amazing, funny! That’s what my hero is.

You are my hero because … Because you teach me about God. You tell us stories from your life to help us learn something or to give an example for one of our stories about God. I remember the time you told us the stories about the girl you know that always lied and now you don’t trust her.

You teach me right from wrong. You teach me respect so I am not disrespectful. I am kind to all. So are you. You give us candies by choice and I think that’s so nice! You never yell at us.

It’s not just the stories you teach us. It’s the way you teach them. I remember the time when you told us about the Minor Prophets. You always asked someone to find where they were prosecuted. I’m happy people volunteered because I never wanted to. You say you enjoy having my class. You are a perfect teacher. When I walk in the church I can’t wait until they dismiss the kids for class. You are my favorite Sunday school teacher yet.

You’re super kind. You enjoy having my class and you’re a perfect teacher. Who is it? Who are you? You’re my Hero, Mr. Skip.


Iam going to tell you ,mom, why you’re my hero . you helped me face my fears because you helped me swim so I wont be seared of the water .when I was four you took me to the Waterville pool then into the water I cried, kicked and try to crawl up on you .i tried not to touch the water . then you said we can try in a little bit .so we did I guess I like it I said we went to the diving board mom you  catch me .now I did want to leave the pool .so we stayed one more hour. I ran to you and told you I made a new friend you said what’s her name . Hailey I so happy that we stayed one more hour. Mom you ‘re kind to me because …. You do not beet me also feed me you answer my question’s you make me feel loved let be babysit with be some times have to stay the night at Casey’s house with Kahle and Kynlee when we have 4h meeting we stay and talk and sometimes I stay the night at braylen’s because that’s where the meetings are at . Mom that’s why I chose you I love you !!!!!!!!!!! :)



Amazing, cool, fun!

I will tell you why my mom and dad are my heroes.

My dad is my hero because he is my dad.

He takes me to town when he is not doing any thing like watching TV. I ride my bike all over town all day. My friends and I stop and go to the store, also to the pool, we sit and take a brake and jump the sidewalk. Then we ride again.

 DAD also takes me out to farm when I am bored and don’t want to sit at home all day watching TV. I like to farm because we see new animals every day like a snake, coyote and deer Then we hook up the plow and plow the whole field. We go up and down hills but when the day gets dark we go home, get in the shower and watch TV.

Finally I will tell you why my mom is my hero. She is my hero because if it wasn’t for her I would not be alive. I am alive because she feeds me and doesn’t let me die. The food I like is the food my mom makes like macaroni and cheese and spaghetti and meat balls. She gives me a house to live in. I have my own bed with blankets, my own I pod, phone, and even my own Xbox 360 with a computer Also water to drink.

She also is my hero because she buys me stuff like a bed or a TV, food, cloths, and shoes.

That is why my mom and dad are my heroes.

My Hero is Mrs. Arneson,

She helps me with my math.  She has me write notes.  Multiplication is hard for me to do.  She shows me on the board how to do multiplication.  I have already learned my facts from 1-9.  I feel good because I doidn;t know how to do it and now I do.

Mrs. Arneson helped me read.  I read books and take AR tests.  I read different kinds of books in different ranges.  I’m getting better at it each day.  This month she had me read 200 pages and I’m slowly getting there.

Mrs. Arneson is always kind and respectful to me.

Thank you, Mrs. Arneson.

My hero is my mom and dad

I’ll tell you about how they let me have fun.

My dad has fun with me away from home and buys me stuff that cost a lot of money like my xbox360. (Cost 200$)

My mom has fun with me at home and takes me places. My mom plays games like Sorry and other games like tic tack toe

My mom takes me places like the store. I help get stuff on the list. The stores we go to are big.

Disney world is a big place where there is lots of fun stuff. My favorite thing is the rides because they’re really fun to go on. My favorite is Mount Everest. It’s a really fun rollercoaster that goes fast. It goes around Mount Everest on tracks with turns.

That’s why my heroes are my mom and dad.   




Dad you’re my hero because…………….          
You love me so much. I got excited when you were in Teen Challenge when you over came a big challenge . You have the power in your heart to make me dance by your kindness and loyalty. You make my heart sway to the beat by your fairness.

 You’re also kind to me. You’re kind to me by taking your time to help me learn, taking care of Emma and Laura, and cook for us if mom is not home. When Emma got diabetes you were more careful about her because she could pass out. Emma would need a shot if she passed out. She needs a shot almost every time she eats. If she’s low she could eat something and then she checks her blood in 15 min. 
 That’s why you are my hero dad.

I am going to tell you about why you are my hero.

I remember when I was little you were their.

You always helped in the day. In return I helped do the chores with you. Then after that I would get on my small four wheeler and ride around. Remember the time I got stuck in the gate by the horses with the four wheeler? Remember how you got me out of the gate? When it ran out of gas I got out the green small car. Then when you need help with wood I got a sled and you tried the knot to hook on the back of the four wheeler with the sled rope.   After that I would drive over to the wood pile. At the end of the day we would do chores and go in.

Next, you’re my hero because of all the things we do and did inside and outside.

When we had lunch you would always, in the winter, help me get warm and in the summer help me get a drink. Then we would get a snack like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Next, we would watch TV for a while, take a nap and go out. I would watch you cut weeds with the weed wacker. Right after that it is time to feed the chickens and the peacocks and last but not least, the horses. Then we have dinner and go to bed.

In conclusion that is why you are my hero, Grandpa.



When my family went swimming my uncle saved hi son Enrique did not know how to swim. He walked down 2 steps, into the water, on the third step, the water was too deep and he started to drown. My uncle ran to the water, dived in, and carried Enrique out. But I think he’s a hero to me. He’s let me come over to his house sleep at my cousin room but I did not sleep at all but a little bit. The next morning we played outside. And he’s very nice to me because he’s my uncle. Because he’s sometimes takes care of me. I hope you like my story, uncle by yadira
