After completeing a lesson on writing instructions, Grace, a second grader, wrote instructions for making inside Smores.
Cookies Can Be S'mores
S'mores can be made inside just as well as out. Even if you don't have a campfire you can make great s'mores. They don't have to be made outside to be delicious. Making s'mores cookies indoors only requires six ingredients and a little time. First, preheat your oven to 350F. Next, gather your ingredients: Bottom layer - two full sticks of butter and three cups of crunched graham cracker crumbs, Middle layer - ice cream topping caramel and one package of chocolate chips. Top layer - two cups of mini marshmallows and one can (14 oz). of sweetened condensed milk. Putting the layers together in the right order makes yummy s'mores. First, put both butter sticks into a four-cup measuring cup and microwave them for 1 minute. Pour into 13x9 pan and pour graham cracker crumbs in too. Stir until moist and you can't see any butter. Pat until even. Second, sprinkle chocolate chips on graham cracker crust and pour caramel sauce on chocolate chips until mostly covered. Third, sprinkle marshmallows on top of caramel sauce. Pour the sweetened condensed milk on top. Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool on wire cooling rack or refrigerate the bars for easier cutting. Now cut, eat, have fun! S'mores cookies are good because they're pretty easy. It makes my mouth water, and you can make them any time of year. They're delicious, delicious, and delicious!
To The Ocean: A Report on Dolphins By Grace (a second grader from Ft. Riley) I became interested in dolphins when I lived in California. I saw a dolphin off the pier with my dad; it leaped out of the water and fell back in. It was amazing. Now it's your chance to learn about them. Dolphins live in every ocean except the Arctic and Antarctic. Dolphins are mainly coastal marine animals but some like deeper waters. Do you think you'll ever see a dolphin? Dolphins get hungry, so here's what they eat and how, their techniques. An adult dolphin eats 15 to 30 pounds of food a day. Most dolphins eat: fish, squid, octopus, and shrimp. Dolphins have cone-like teeth to grab food, but they swallow it whole. Dolphins herd schools of fish in groups called pods. Other times dolphins herd fish toward shore where they can't escape. After all this food, no dolphin is hungry. Do you think baby dolphins have fun with their Aunties? Dolphins live a life span of 20 to 30 years. A mother dolphin gives birth to one calf at a time. Babies are toothless at birth, but teeth grow soon after. A calf will stay with its mother for at least a year. Aunties are the dolphin mother's assistants. So if the mother dolphin is resting, the aunties look after the calf. If you go to the ocean often, you just might see a dolphin.

News by Grace (age 7) Swine Flu The swine flu spreads very quickly to people especially school age kids. They are making a vaccine that will fight it off we hope. They might make it a nose one or it might be the pokey kind. It will be available in October.

If you give a teacher an apple, she will want peanut butter to go with it. She will remember how she likes peanut butter on crackers. She will ask you to make her some. When you open the pantry, she will see the mayo. Then she will remember the white board. She will remember the math facts and spelling, so she will want the white board to doodle. And she will draw a plate with an apple and peanut butter and chances are she will ask for an apple and peanut butter.
