Spring • Summer • Autumn • Winter
Twice a year, around March 20 or 21 and Sept. 22 or 23, our sun shines directly over the equator. That event marks the beginning of spring or fall. What is the equator?
Public Domain photo
e·qua·tor
[əˈkwā•dər]
noun
an imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles,dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.
In March when the sun shines directly over the equator, the event is called the spring or vernal equinox. In September when the sun shines directly over the equator, the event is called the fall or autumnal equinox.
The Autumnal Equinox occurred in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. on Wednesday, September 23, 2015. at 1:22 A.M.
Things to look for in fall:
1. Deciduous (di•si•jo͞o•əs) trees will change color and drop all their leaves. Evergreen trees will not. Evergreen trees will stay forever green. :-) Why do the leaves of deciduous trees change color? Use World Book Online to research. Remember, do NOT copy sentences. That is plagiarism, and it is against the law! Take notes, and then turn your notes into your own sentences.
2. On the equinox, there are exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. The day and night hours are equal. However, as we continue into fall, the days will get shorter and the night hours will get longer. This pattern will continue until we reach the winter solstice. That is the longest night of the year and marks a new season, winter.
3. Because the northern hemisphere is now tilted away from the sun, the days will start to become cooler. People will change their behavior.What sorts of behavioral changes will your family make as the days get shorter and cooler? (In southern California, we have mild climate. We don't get too cold in our community.)
There are many fall festivals or holidays. Watch the BrainPop video about fall to learn about the many harvest festivals celebrated. Do you celebrate any of these autumn holidays? If so, please share so we can learn from you!
4. Some animals in the northern hemisphere will change their behavior. As fall leads to winter, some animals migrate, or move, to a warmer area. Others try to fatten up for the winter they know is coming.

ReplyDelete1. My family and I like to go to the pumpkin patch.
2.We love to go to animal sanctuaries to celebrate the turkeys.
And that's what we like to do over fall.
@Ben,
DeleteI'm so thrilled you have posted to our blog.
Your family fall activities sound fantastic. You mentioned going to animal sanctuaries to celebrate the turkeys. What are some of the specific activities that celebrate the turkeys?
Sincerely,
Ms. Tulbure
Hi this is Audrey R. What I like to do in fall is:
ReplyDelete1. Me and my family love to have picnics in fall.
2. Our whole entire family comes over and we celebrate Thanksgiving!
3. My family and I go to are friends house to celebrate Halloween to.
4. My family and I also go to pumpkin patches.
5. We also like siting around the fire place and toasting marshmallow
That's what I like to do. What do you like to do in fall?
@ Audrey R.
DeleteI'm so happy to see you blogging! What a great writer you are. You described some very fun family activities for this fall.
You asked what I like to do in the fall. I like to take a hike and survey the changing autumn foliage.
You mentioned that you like to go to pumpkin patches. Do you bake the pumpkin or make pumpkin pie?
Warmly,
Ms. Tulbure
No Ms.Tulbure I do not bake pumpkin pie but my mom buys some and I have it with wipe cream. Do you make pumpkin pie love Audrey R.
DeleteHi, it's Mark. I am so glad it's finally fall, however, as you all know, it is still as hot as in summer. My favorite part about fall is that the weather is cooling down and that the leaves are turning red, yellow, brown, and orange before they fall off the trees. Did you know, Autumn Equinox was on September 23rd this year? That means that day and night on that day were exactly the same 12 hours long. After that day, the days started getting shorter and shorter and the nights longer and longer. I just learned on Brain Pop that farmers harvest their pumpkins in fall. I also go to the pumpkin patch with my family every year to buy pumpkin of different shapes and sizes. My family enjoys carving the pumpkins and then putting them on the front porch with a lit candle inside for Halloween night.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to live in the Southern Hemisphere, like in Australia for example, it would be spring and the days would be getting longer and the nights would be getting shorter. I would be putting my Winter jackets away and looking for blossoming flowers.
What is your favorite season? Which hemisphere would you like to be in?
Sincerely,
Mark
@Mark,
DeleteWow, what wonderful research you have done! I really enjoyed reading about the changing hours in the days as seasons change. It is very interesting that the Southern Hemisphere has different seasons than us in the Northern Hemisphere.
You asked what my favorite season is. I enjoy spring as new flowers bloom and it can rain. This is an opportunity to seen many rainbows.
What is your favorite season?
Kindly,
Ms. Tulbure
Hi this is Collin - Tonight we went out to look for the lunar eclipse. We drove all around and couldn't see it. It was hidden behind the hills or the clouds. Finally it came out at about 8. It was still hidden by clouds, but I could see it a little bit. It was reddish whiteish and orangish. Then we went home and got binoculars and tried again. The moon was white with the binoculars, but reddish without it.
ReplyDelete@ Collin,
DeleteI'm so thrilled to see you blogging! I love your descriptive vocabulary when describing the moon you saw. It sounds amazing.
It is very interesting how you mentioned that the moon was different colors with and without the binoculars. Why do you think that is?
Kindly,
Ms. Tulbure
Hi this is Sammy. Finally it is my birthday month and Halloween , here are some things my family and I like to do around this holiday called new hallows eve.
ReplyDelete1. We are going to start to put up our decorations this weekend and maybe make some
2.My family and I go on a walk to look at the houses to see what my neighbors did to spook up their house
3.We are suppose to get our costume but we already got it I am going to be maleficent .
4.We buy Halloween candy and new candy baskets and most of the time it is a pumpkin.
And my next and most important step is to go Trick or Treating!
Do you do anything for new Hallows eve and do you have a favorite candy or someone you want to be for New Hallows Eve?
@ Sammy,
DeleteI'm so happy to see you blogging! What a wonderful writer you are! I love the activities you and your family do at Halloween. I also like to put up spooky decorations.
You asked if I have a favorite candy. I love chocolate.
You mentioned that you have baskets in the shape of a pumpkin. Do you also eat pumpkin during this holiday?
Warmly,
Ms. Tulbure
@ Ms. Tulbure,
DeleteNo, I have never tried pumpkin but I don't like pumpkin pie. But who does not like jack o lanterns? We always carve them but I HATE to throw them away so we might get fake pumpkins so we can use them next year and not have to throw them away. We might try some new decorations this year like...
1. we made R.I.P signs.
2.I made spider webs my grandma was so scared.
3. I looked this one up on YouTube cut little ghost made out of milk jug.
4. I might buy a white sock and make a ghost little friend.
Two more weeks and its my birthday two +two = four and that is how many weeks till Halloween
What do you like to do around this holiday and what color do you like more orange or black?
Sincerely,
Sammy

Hello,
ReplyDeleteAnya speaking,
I wanted to write a blog post because I really want to talk about the Blood Moon- Super Moon. I am glad that I saw it because it hasn't happened for 20 years and won't for another 18 years. So I will have to wait till I am 26 years old until the next Blood Moon! I couldn't see it clearly since it was cloudy. I was very disappointed because we are in California, and California is almost NEVER cloudy, but since this is a fall theme, I will tell you three reasons why I like fall:
1. Cuddle up!
2. Sweet aroma of cinnamon.
3. Catching LOTS of leaves!
Those are three reasons why I like fall, (even though I like summer more).
I would love to hear what you like about fall.
From,
Anya
@ Anya,
DeleteI wonder what the blood moon is. You mentioned catching leaves. I once made a collection of leaves and I put the red leaves in a pile ,the orange leaves in a pile and yellow leaves in a pile. I showed my whole family then I jumped for joy and threw them all outside. I also made breakfast for my parents every morning. That is not everything I did in fall I did way more.
Sincerely
Ramin
@ Ramin,
DeleteA blood moon is when the moon is red. It is very weird. You mentioned that you made a collection of leaves. Didn't that take long? I mean, there must of been lots of leaves in your backyard. I do not know what I am going to be for Halloween. I really have to get a costume because then I am just going to have to be myself!
From,
Anya
@ Anya
DeleteI have a 3 level house and 2 of them are underground and I don't even have a backyard I just got all those leafs from my grandmas backyard. You know all that Halloween candy I had from last year well I was planning to eat all of it the day before Halloween But I know I'm not allowd. I don't know what I'm going to be for Halloween I might as well dress up as Ramin.
Hello, my name is Cormac. Fall is here guys and that means Halloween is coming in October. We have 33 days until Halloween. My costume is going to be a scary clown. What is your costume for Halloween is going to be? Have a good Halloween!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Cormac
@ Cormac,
DeleteI'm so exited for Halloween too! You asked what I'm going to wear for Halloween. Well turns out I'm going to be a scary clown TOO! Speaking of Halloween I still have all my Halloween candy from last year and I turned that into my new candy collection.
Sincerely,
Ramin
Dear Room 3,
ReplyDeleteDid you know Fall is the in between Summer and Winter. Most places Fall is cooler than Summer but warmer than winter. Also in Fall there are fewer hours of sunlight. Sometimes it rains in Fall. Many schools start in Fall. Through out Spring and Summer lots of fruits and vegetables grow.
Sincerely
Ramin
Dear Ms. Tulbure,
ReplyDeleteThis is Nitai. For one or two weeks I am going to Mexico. I bet it's going to be fun.Next I'm going to my soccer game. At my last game I scored two goals in less than ten seconds. Last, for Halloween I'm going trick or treating with my friends.
Sincerely,
Nitai
Dear Chaparral bloggers,
DeleteThis is Sarah from Ms. Tulbure's class. I am going to talk some Halloween into you girls and boys. As you know, Halloween is coming soon. I am so exited for Halloween to come. Get ready for bats and ghosts they are coming to town to play around.Don't forget to trick or treat and have a great time! By the way for Halloween I am going to be a Zombie Soccer player. What are you going to be for Halloween?
Sincerely, Sarah from Ms. Tulbure's class.
Hi Sarah,
DeleteI really like your blog comment! I'm going to be a cat. I have already broke the tail because I loved that costume. I really like cats and that is why, but it was a relief because my dad is really good at fixing things, and he fixed it! I now wear it with a clip. I like it because it makes me feel like a cat. It has black gloves with it. My cat doesn't really like it because she likes to be the only cat in the family. What does your costume look like?
Warmly,
Anya
@Anya
DeleteHi Anya,
This is Sarah. My costume was one of my old soccer uniforms. My mom ripped the shirt to look like a zombie. My hair was messy with pretend bugs in it. My Mom did my make up and I looked very scary. It scared me too. Did you have fun on Halloween?
Sincerely,
Sarah
Sarah,
DeleteThanks for the comment. I had fun at Halloween. At first, I was only getting M&Ms and I thought that it should the year of M&Ms! Weren't you horrified when you saw your mom ripping your old soccer uniform? If I were you, it would be like a horror movie to see my mom doing that! What kind of make up did you use? I am pretty sure I saw you when I went trick-or-treating if you were a zombie soccer player.
Sincerely,
Anya
Dear Ms.Tulbure,
ReplyDeleteI like fall because the leaves change color.
These are things I like to do in Fall:
1.Collect lots of wonderful leaves
2.Go apple picking
3.Make tasty apple pies YUM!
Sincerely,
Hyunsuh
Hi my name is Sofia B. and these are some facts about fall:
ReplyDelete1. Some animals go to warmer places during the fall season.
2. The leaves turn different colors and fall off the trees and the trees make oxygen.
Sincerely,
Sofia B.
Dear class,
ReplyDeleteI like when the leaves fall from the trees in autumn. I like to jump into a pile of leaves. It feels exciting and it is entertaining. I can't wait for Halloween because I'm going trick or treating with my brother. I'm going to trick or treat all around the neighborhood until midnight. What are you going to do on Halloween?
Warmly,
Jack
@Jack
DeleteI am going to go somewhere I have never gone to trick or treat before. I am exited but kind of nervous. Where I am going is close to my house and I was waiting to go but I thought I was going somewhere else. Are you going to trick or treat close to your house?
Your classmate, Sarah
@Jack
DeleteYou know how I said in my other blog comment I still have all my Halloween candy from last year well I REALLY want to eat all of all of it the day before Halloween but I know that I am not allowed to. And I might go trick or treating nearby school. I really want to get a Halloween costume FAST or else I have to go as Ramin and I DO NOT want to go as Ramin. I might be a hot dog, hamburger, a banana or spiderman for Halloween. What do you think I should be.
Sincerely,
Ramin
Dear Ramin,
DeleteThank you for replying to my post. You asked what you should dress up as for Halloween. I think you should dress up as a zombie because I like zombies. I am going to be disguised as Geronimo Stilton. He is a mouse that goes on adventures. For example in the book, The Phoenix of Destiny, Ms. Blossom asks Geronimo to get a feather from the Phoenix of Destiny and it was a dangerous job, however Geronimo is successful in his quest.
I also like to carve pumpkins for Halloween. What will you carve your pumpkin as?
Warmly,
Jack
@Jack,
DeleteThanks for replying to my post. I am very happy to carry this connection with you. You asked what I will carve my pumpkin as. Actually, my family and I don't carve pumpkins because we go out to eat or play fun sports at the park, and spend time together as a family. For Halloween I will go trick or treating and I will go with my friend Ryan. We both enjoy receiving all kinds of candies when we trick or treat. How will you react when you get your candy?
Sincerely,
Ramin
Dear Ramin,
DeleteI really like your post. You said that you don`t carve pumpkins.I carved mine to look like a mean face.You also said that you went trick or treating with your friend Ryan.I went trick or treating with my brother and my dad not with my mom because she broke her leg. What are you going to do over Thanksgiving break?
@Jack,
DeleteI am very happy that you and I are keeping this connection. You mentioned that you carved your pumpkin as a scary face. Can you describe what it looked like. I am so sorry that your mom broke her leg. Over Thanksgiving it is my birthday. My family and friends will celebrate and I might bring some treats to school just like Sammy did when it was her birthday. My family and I will also have a BIG! feast. For Halloween I changed my mind again about my Halloween costume I was Luigi and my friend Ryan was Mario from Mario cart. What was your costume on Halloween?
Dear Ms. Tulbure,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until Halloween!
There are 18 days until Halloween.
That means 18 days until LOTS of candy.
I like carving pumpkins too,but they taste awful, though pumpkin bread is delicious...
I like to eat crunchy apples too.
I might be Frankenstein or a spy or ninja for my Halloween costume.
What's your costume?
Sincerely,
Hyunsuh
@ Hyunsuh
DeleteHi! This is your classmate Sarah. My costume is a Zombie Soccer player. I will try to be like Alex Morgan. She is so good at soccer. I want to be like her when I grow up. My team name is ( The Magic Soccer balls). We once got a score of 6 to 1 and I was so happy about it. I think that pumpkin bread is so good that I can't keep my eyes away from it. I don't carve pumpkins I use markers in stead. What do you use to carve pumpkins?
Love, Sarah
Dear students,
ReplyDeleteFor Halloween, my favorite candy is peeps and candy corn. Did you know that candy corn is basically the Halloween colors? Well now you know. I know what you might think, but it's true. Do you walk S.L.O.W.L.Y or FAST while trick or treating? Let's talk more about the candy then Halloween. Peeps are so good and look very awesome like a real drawing. Peeps are a yellow marshmallow duck that tastes very delicious. Whats your favorite candy?
Love, Sarah
@Sarah,
DeleteDuring Halloween I move FAST because I want ALOT of candy. I have never tried a peep before but I would like to because it sounds tasty when you described it. My favorite types of candy are candy corn, sour patch, sour punch, air heads, war heads, loly pops, gummies, skittles, tic tacks, juicy drop pops and juicy drop taffies. Those are all the candies that I like to eat. I DO NOT know what I am going to be for Halloween. Do you like any more types of candy?
Your classmate,
Ramin
@Sarah
DeleteOn Halloween I walk FAST, but my parents walk S.L.O.W.L.Y.
By the way my favorite candies are Reese Peanut Butter Cup and Mike a Likes.Do you like Mike a Likes? I do like them.
Your Classmate ,
Maya
Dear Ms Tulbure,
ReplyDeleteThis Fall I got a new puppy. First my Mom said "I have a surprise for you." Then a puppy ran around from behind her. I said " WOW , she is so cute!" I asked "what is her name?" My Mom said "FiFi." Then I took her outside and played with her.
That was part of my Fall. What is part of your Fall?
Love,
Helena
Dear Helena,
DeleteSo excited to hear about your new puppy.
What do you do to take care of her?
Do you take her on walks? Do you feed her?
Love Mommy
Dear Mom,
DeleteI cannot walk my puppy because she does not have her second round of shots. It is too risky to walk her because she might get sick. I feed her sometimes, but you feed her the most. I like playing with her outside in the yard. I feel happy when I'm with my puppy.
Love Helena
Dear Dad,
DeleteThis fall I have been thinking about being a Veterinarian when I grow .
I would like to help animals that are sick.
Mom says that I would have to go to school for a long time, and study hard.
What do you think?
Love,
Helena F
I think it is fabulous that you are considering what you would like to be when you grow up. It is never too early to start planning for goals you want to achieve in life. Speaking of planning, your mother is correct in that you would have to work hard and long in your schooling to achieve the goal of being a veterinarian. I know you are up for the challenge an can achieve anything you put your mind to. You also possesses the caring nature that would make you a great veterinarian.
DeleteBest of luck and study hard!
Ray (Helena's Dad)
Dear class,
ReplyDeleteWhat are your favorite Halloween candies and what are you going to
be for Halloween? My favorite types of candies are sour patch, sour punch, gummies, m n m's, loly pops, candy corn, air heads, war heads, skittles, tic tacks, juicy drop pops, juicy drop taffies and gum. And I want to b a minion for Halloween.
What are your favorite candies and what is your Halloween costume going to be?
Sincerely
Ramin
Dear Ramin,
DeleteHappy Halloween. My favorite Halloween candies are chocolate malt balls. I don't eat that much candy. I like to get dressed up. I am going to be Lela from Teen Beach Movie 2 as a 50's girl. What are you going to be for Halloween?
Sincerely,
Abby S.
Dear Chaparral Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteHi! It's Maya,John-Paul and Abby, We wanted to talk to you about Halloween.
Abby is dressed up for Halloween as a girl from Teen Beach Movie.
Guess who she is dressing up as ? She is dressing up as Leyla. John-Paul is dressing up as Harry Potter and Maya does not know what she is dressing up as.
All of us enjoy Halloween and candy,but Abby does NOT like it at all. Maya's favorite candy is candy corn. John-Paul's favorite candy is also candy corn. Abby does not like candy so she does not have a favorite candy. John-Paul says there are ten days till Halloween. We are all so happy for Halloween. Are you happy for Halloween? What is your favorite candy? Are you dressing up for Halloween?
Sincerely,
Maya , John-Paul and Abby
@Maya, John-Paul and Abby,
DeleteI really liked how you all mentioned your Halloween costumes and favorite candies. For Halloween I am going to be Luigi and my best friend Ryan is going to be Mario from Mario Cart. As we were trick or treating we saw other trick or treaters dressed up as Mario and Luigi. We said "Hey Brother!" to our twins. You talked about your favorite candy. My favorite candies are gummies, jelly beans, baby bottle pops, gummy worms, Extreme Sour Bites, pop rocks, candy corn, nerd rope and nerds, lolly pops, sour punch, sour patch, skittles, tic tacks, juicy drop pops and juicy drop taffies, and also m n m's.
How will you guys react when you get your candy?
Sincerely,
Ramin
Happy HALLOWEEN Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI heard your favorite Halloween candy is PEEPS! Those are one of my favorites. But my favorite is Twix. I'm going around the blog asking people there favorite Halloween candy. Thats all I have to say for now!

Dear readers,
ReplyDeleteIt's Kiley and Abby and we would like to tell you our favorite things about Fall.
1. Abby's favorite thing about fall is that you can make a pile of leaves and jump
into it .It's fun!
2.Hi Kiley speaking with the news report it's almost... Halloween!
3.We both LOVE...HALLOWEEN!
What is your favorite thing about fall?
Love,
Abby and Kiley
Dear Kiley and Abby,
DeleteMy favorite thing about fall is Halloween. I love Halloween to! I love getting all the candy. My dad said that if you give your candy to a dentist, they give you money for it. I don't think it is true though. I really want to try it. It would be wonderful if it was true. I have tons of candy. I never jump into leaves anymore because once I did do it, and I found a caterpillar crawling across my chest! I have a question for both of you, what are you going to be for Halloween?
Warmly,
Anya
@ Anya,
DeleteIt is Kiley
I was the Grim reaper for Halloween. I LOVE candy too. Don`t you just love the taste? That is very interesting that if you give your candy to a dentist they give you money to you! What were you for Halloween?
Warmly,
Kiley
I was a cat for Halloween. Big surprise right. I'm NEVER going to give my candy to a dentist, but as I said, I'm going to try it. I have divided them with my sister so now we both have the same amount of candy.
DeleteSincerely,
Anya
Dear anyone who's reading this comment,
ReplyDeleteRight now on October 27th,can you guess how many days until Halloween?
If you guessed 4 you are correct.
I can't wait until Halloween.
I sure hope they give out Sour Skittles.
I like sour patch,starburst,skittles,lolipops and lots more.
What is your favorite candy(ies)?
Sincerely,Hyunsuh
@Hyunsuh
DeleteOur favorite candy is: Twix, Sour patch kids, Kit kats, Nerds, and many more. But the best candy we had ever tried is Sweet Tarts. The sugar rang is 50 calories. We love candy so much! It fills our mouths with joy.
Sincerely, Ava and Sarah
Hi,it's me again,
ReplyDeleteIt's passed only 2 days from Halloween.
I got 4 pounds of candy,
what about you?
It was fun trick-or-treating.
Although I was EXTEREMLY thirsty.
I had to say "a spy" a billion times because they kept asking what my costume was.
I didn't get ANY sour skittles though.(read the other comment).
But what I did get was a king size starburst.
I didn't like the houses that only gave snickers and M&Ms.
I don't like reeses either.
How was your Halloween?Happy,sad,angry?
Warmly,
Hyunsuh
Hey everyone,
ReplyDeleteIt was Halloween this past weekend. I was a scary cheerleader and everyone loved my costume and my make-up. I had black around my eyes and my face was covered in white! I got lots of candy and I can't stop eating it. My favorite candy is M&Ms and one of my favorite holidays is Halloween because of all the treats. Candy makes me go bananas, and I also get to spend the night with friends and get stay up late! What is your favorite holiday?
Sincerely,
Ryan
@Ryan,
DeleteI really liked your post. You mentioned that you dressed up as a cheerleader and a lot of people loved your costume. For
Halloween I was Luigi ad my friend was Mario. My sister was a scary witch for Halloween. When I was trick or treating we went to this house. When I rang the doorbell , I saw these teenagers at the door, holding a basket full of big candies! I got big snickers and my sister got these big Kit Kats and my friend got big skittles. My favorite candies are kit Kats, Mike and Ike, M n M's, tic tacks, candy corn, nerds and nerd ropes, sour patch and sour punch, gummy bears and gummy worms, juicy drop pops, and finally juicy drop taffies. My Two favorite holidays are Christmas and Thanksgiving. I like Christmas because you get to get whatever you want. I like Thanksgiving because you get to have a big feast and in Thanksgiving it is my birthday. Those are two reasons why I like Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Did you get a big candy for Halloween?
Sincerely,
Ramin
Hey Everyone,
ReplyDeleteIt's me again! Well just a week ago it was 90 degrees, and now it is pouring outside and chilly! My witch that is still in my yard got soaking wet!!! Did you guys get soaked? I did! Have you guys ever been in snow before?
Last winter I went to New York and it was snowing the whole time! I got to make snow angels, and had a snow ball fight with my brother! My cousins who live in New York have snow days, but since I live in Southern California, I guess I won't get any snow days. Have you ever made snow angels?
Dear Ryan,
DeleteI really like your post! You said did anybody get soaked from the rain. I got soaked and when I went into my house I litterly left a big puddle. You also said that has anyone made a snow angel and I have. It was so cold when I was on the snow! What are you going to do on Thanksgiving day?
Warmly,
Jack
Dear Jack,
DeleteI also really loved your post! Im going to Newport Beach where my uncle and Aunt live. I enjoy going there cause they live on the beach! I get to make sand castles on the beach and get to splash in the ocean and I also get to play volleyball. My favorite thing to do there is make big holes in the bumpy sand! It is a great place to go on vacation. Have you ever been to Newport beach?
Sincerely,
Ryan
Dear Ryan,
DeleteI really like your post. You said if I have ever been to Newport Beach. No, I have not been to Newport Beach but I wish I can go. Have you ever been to Culver City?
Dear Jack and Ryan,
DeleteI have been to Newport Beach before but I don't remember it. My grandma lives in Long Beach, which is near there. Long Beach is really fun because I get to see my grandma and her cat. There are water taxi's that drive around in the water in Long Beach and also in Newport Beach. Have you been on one of those before? They are really fun.
Warmly,
Abby
Hi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteIt's me again,Hyunsuh.
It rained today,but thankfully I had brought a jacket to school.
Now this jacket was not that much ordinary though.
Why is it not ordinary?
That's because the outside of the hoodie is waterproof.
Also the inside of the hoodie was furry.
Though I still got drenched.
Today was the BEST day ever because I got my acer(laptop).
Still we don't get to take them home yet.
I wonder if my mom will let me download a game.
Do you have your very own acer?
Please reply back.
A comment from Hyunsuh.
Hi it's Hyunsuh again,
ReplyDeleteNow it's November 4th.
That not only means blogging month but also Thanksgiving.
On Thanksgiving my family doesn't really do anything.
Turkey legs taste delicious.
Turkey breast etc. don't taste as good.
I don't like mashed potatoes either way.
I get only interested in dessert.
The dessert is usually just ice cream.
I like popsicles better.
What is your favorite part of Thanksgiving?
What type of that favorite?
From this writer's name,
Hyunsuh
Hi Hyunsuh again,
ReplyDeleteIt's me again still Nov. 4th.
I would say it's going pretty well.
The trees in my backyard have not changed leaf color.
How interestingly weird.
The leaves are plain old green.
I have a hill in my backyard and not even the trees up there have changed a bit.
Only a few leaves have turned yellow.
How many of your leaves have changed color?

Dear Hyunsah,
DeleteI really liked your post. you mentioned that no leaves in your backyard in the trees have not changed color. I don't have a backyard but my grandma does. She has a GIANT backyard. All of them changed color exept for one of them. That leaf was all green. Have you ever been anywhere where all the laves were colorful and not one of them were green?

Hi everyone! This is Sammy's mommy. Don't you just love this weather? I am from Washington DC area so I love it when weather changes and it feels like real fall, unlike last week when it was 90 degrees!! My favorites things about fall are birthdays, Halloween, anniversary and Thanksgiving day. I love the smell of cinnamon sticks, hot chocolate, burning wood and turkey in the oven. I am thankful for family, friends, good health, Ms. Tulbure and everyone at Chaparral. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDelete@ Mommy,
DeleteI love you so much. I'm so thankful for you daddy and little Alex and Nico. My New Year's Resolution is to save more animals that are endanger like PANDAS. For Christmas I would like a double bubble gum key chain to take to school. I LOVE you to much to say.
Love,
Sammy
Hi this is Nico and I am Sammy's brother. I love the awesome smells, sights and what I hear at fall time .
ReplyDelete1 I smell marshmellows making smores around a campfire and sing songs.
2. I see bright colors on rainbow leaves and fallen bark .
3.I hear birds and crickets chirping in morning breeze that blows me all the sounds.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to everyone!
Thankful for Sammy
Love, Nico
@ Nico,
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving Nico.
I am so thankful to have you for a little brother. You give me so much JOY, LOVE and HOPE. I love to play basket ball, go swimming ,do puzzles and do home work with you. With your dark brown eyes, your little nose, your tiny hands that shake when you write and last of all your tiny, little feet that waddle like a penguin when you walk in the house. Even when we fight you are still a perfect little angel that is just not so happy at this moment but you will bounce back.
With more then I can say
Love Sammy
Dear Ms. Tulbure,
ReplyDeleteI am so sad Halloween is over but also happy because my feet where hurting so bad from all the walking I thought I was going to scream . My sister was going to be dressed up as a weeping angel, but my sister's feet were hurting, so my sister went as a baby instead. The funny thing is my sister is 12 years old. My brother went as a ware wolf. It was such a surprise that I didn't run away. Now I have a new favorite candy. It's called Sour Patches but they are not really sour. What is your
favorite candy?

Hello John-Paul.
DeleteIt's Hyunsuh.
I really liked your comment.
My sister is 12 years old too.
You asked what people's favorite candy is.
My favorite candies are sour patch,sour punch,sour skittles,lolipops,and starburst.
If you think sour patch is not sour,try war heads or extreme sour patch.
Once when I ate a war head I really had a war in my head!
Isn't that crazy?!
Extreme sour patch is medium on sourness.
When I ate extreme sour patch it was deffinitly not as sour as war heads.
This is from your friend,
Hyunsuh
@John-Paul,
DeleteI really liked your post. You mentioned that for Halloween you were upset that it was over well I am too. You told me what my favorite candies are. They are tick tacks, air heads, starburst, skittles, snickers, cotton candy, jolly ranchers, war heads, gummy bears and gummy worms, candy corn, juicy drop pops and juicy drop taffies. I one tried 3 warheads at a time and it was epic and also not so epic. Have you ever tried a war head?

Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteMy mom broke her leg so she can't drive or walk. I take very good care of her. She just got a new cast for her leg. She broke her fibula. Her new cast is purple and she got to chose that color. Have you ever broke a bone?
Dear Jack
DeleteI have fractured my arm. I was getting off of a trampoline and the chair was too wobbly. I fell to the ground and landed on my arm. The next thing I was in pain. My mom took me to the doctor. I was in a cast for 6 weeks. Also I hope your mom is better soon.
Love,
Helena
Dear Jack
DeleteI am so sorry your mom broke her leg. I know how that feels. I broke my elbow in kindergarten and had surgery. When I came back to school everybody want- ed to sign my cast. I knew lots of first graders so I had lots of names on my cast. I was very sad because I could not play soccer. I hope you did not. Having a cast stinks. Have you ever had surgery?
Dear Ryan,
DeleteThank you for replying. You asked if I had surgery. I have had surgery on my leg because I once broke my leg by skydiving. I tried to open my parachute up in the sky but I accidentally opened it near the ground and I was going too fast and I put out my feet to land but then I fell hard on my leg. I was in real pain and then the medics came running toward me and they said that I broke my leg and they put me in the ambulance and drove me to the hospital and the doctor said that I need a cast. I got to choose the color of my cast which was green and I got crutches and the doctor said he would teach me how to walk with them. By the way I broke my fibula. What bone did you break?
Warmly,
Jackson
Hello everyone across and under and on top of the world,
ReplyDeleteIt is me again,and you might now that I wrote lots and lots of comments.
There are 21 days until Thanksgiving and 6 days until Veterans Day.
Can you guess what day it is?
Yup it's Nov. 5th.
I like it when guests come over on Thanksgiving.
Last year I was a little shy,but a few minutes later I wasn't shy at all.
At midnight the guests left and our house.
Our house looked as if a tornado had hit my house.
It was a real mess.
Last year's turkey tasted a little bad.
I admit it but it did taste bad.
That's all I have to say for now.

Hyunsuh
Dear John-Paul
ReplyDeleteHope you hade a wonderful time going trick or treating . I love to get candy . My favorite candy that I got would be sour punch rope , milky way and dots . I got a huge dots box and I still have not even opened it yet .
Hey everyone!,
ReplyDeleteIt's Hyunsuh,
I have another comment to share with you guys.
Another Thanksgiving comment.
I really wonder what gravy is.
I've heard of gravy,but haven't tried gravy before.
BBQ sauce on baby back ribs are DELICOUS.
Barbque sauce is so tasty.
All I have to say is what I wrote.
Kindly,
Hyunsuh
Hello everybody,
ReplyDeleteIt's Hyunsuh again.
There are 17 days until...
Thanksgiving!
I love Thanksgiving,but don't know if you like it.
I don't like mashed potatoes that much.
I kinda like turkey,but not that much.
Do you like turkey?
Last year's turkey was pretty good for taste,but I preffered more BBQ sauce.
The BBQ sauce my family uses is a little spicy.
Over all,I like Thanksgiving that much.
Not too much of a good holiday,but okay I guess.
Warmly and Kindly,
Hyunsuh
@Hyunsuh,
DeleteI really liked your post you mentioned that you don't like mashed potatoes and turkey. I don't like turkey that much but I love mashed potatoes with gravy. I don't eat BBQ sauce on thanksgiving but it would be nice to try it. Do you like gravy?

Hey there!
ReplyDeleteI am excited about Thanksgiving right now.
There are fourteen days until Thanksgiving.
I love Thanksgiving.
My mom doesn't know if we will go to somebody's house or somebody come to our house.
I'm hoping somebody else's house because there's someone we know and has a Wii.
The game is REALLY FUN.
I think the game is called Super Mario Galaxy.
Anyways I hope you have a good Thanksgiving in 14 days.
Sincerely,
Hyunsuh

Dear Abby,
DeleteMy favorite food for Thanksgiving is turkey! Turkey is delicious! My family and
I are going to Newport Beach. When I go to the Beach House, I love to see the ocean and if it's warm out, I like to splash around in the water! I am thankful to have my aunt and uncle live in California. It feels great to be around family. I especially look forward to my mom's yummy brownies. What do you like to eat for dessert?
Love,
Ryan
Dear Abby
DeleteMy favorite Thanksgiving food is turkey. Turkey is delicious. I go to
Newport Beach for Thanksgiving. My aunt and uncle live there. I always splash in the waves! It is such an amazing experience. My favorite Thanksgiving dessert is my mom's yummy brownies and they have extra powder. Sometimes when I eat to much dessert, I could get a stomach ache. My uncle and aunt have a big umbrella with a hammock over it. When it is in the early evening, the sun set comes down and it is beautiful. Newport Beach is around 2 hours away from my house. I wish I can live in Newport Beach. My uncle and aunt are so lucky. Have you ever been to Newport Beach? What is your favorite dessert? Do you like turkey?
Sincerely,
Ryan
Dear Abby,
DeleteYou said what my favorite food is. My favorite food is mashed potatoes! You also said where I'm going.I am going to Singapore for Thanksgiving that's where my mom is from. I'm going to Singapore because I'm going to spend my Thanksgiving there with my grandma and grandpa.What are you doing for Christmas?
Warmly,
