“Thriller vs. Party Rock” by Antwon, Imani, Erick, Tyeler, Martabian, and Christopher, Learn Campbell Academy
One day me and my friend Erika went to Texas. Erika wanted to visit the rodeo! So we went to the rodeo! At the rodeo there was one million zombie cowboys living there. They were doing the “Thriller.” We freak out! And then get hypnotized! By the zombie cowboys. And they made us dance like old ladies. And that’s when they tried to eat us. We ran away! All million zombies chased after us! We ran, and ran, and turned on a radio. And everyone was silent. And “Party Rock” came on. And the zombies loved it! And we all danced together and we had a dance off! And Erika won! She won $50 billion! And Erika told all the zombies, “Go back to your habitat!” The End.
With Turkey Day upon us, the Grandma Monkeys happily bring back two Thankgiving classics:
THANKSGIVING by James, Harold Washington Elementary
Once there was a family who’s having Thanksgiving. The boy’s name is John, his mother’s name is Jenny, and his aunties and his uncle’s names are Jack and Dorthy. Before they ate John made a Thanksgiving toast. Everybody says are you sure about this. He says yes I am. Jack the uncle said, this is a wonderful thing to do. Dorthy his auntie is waiting for the food, but she doesn’t want to toast. He toast anyway. This is what he said I love all of you and I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. The End.
A GIRL THAT WANTS TO EAT TURKEY BUT CANNOT REACH by Gwen, Antonesha, David, Edward, Kourtney, Tangela, Kohn School
Once upon a time there was a girl named Ashley Sarah who loved turkey! She
wanted her friends to come over but they were too busy, so they couldn’t make it.
So she had to eat the turkey by herself. But she knew she couldn’t eat the whole
turkey because she was on a diet. She brought a big ole plate and ate the turkey
anyway and she got fat. She finally ate all of the turkey and she loved it. Finally
her friends came at the wrong moment. All the friends go out to eat and Ashley
Sarah’s grandpa calls to say that he can’t come over because he wants to go to
a meeting. She says “Don’t worry about it, the turkey is all gone.” And she took
a nap. But the meeting got canceled and they all want to the restaurant together
with old people and ate turkey! The End
