aditi's simple thoughts (original)

Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag with the help of her mother. The first flag had thirteen stripes for the thirteen colonies during that time. After several  years, the flag changed.. Another two states were added. Then two more stripes were added. As more and more states joined, the President of that time was worried that the flag will be VERY long. So he cut down the stripes to thirteen. and added stars to one corner of the flag  and soon, threre were fifty stars for the fifty states, and thirteen  stripes for the thirteen orginal colonies which became the first states. Joy was everywhere when the 50th star was added for Hawaii. Since then, the American flag has never changed.  Aditi Bhattamishra 1st Grade Pine Glen

O, beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain America! America!  God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good  With brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Aditi Bhattamishra Grade 1 Pine Glen

You're a grand old flag,     You're a high flying flag, And forever in peace may you wave; You're the emblem of the land I love, The home of the free and the brave. Every heart beats true for the Red, White and Blue, And there's never a boast or brag; Should all acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag. Aditi Bhattamishra Grade 1  Pine Glen

Multi-color flowers rise into the air Fruits and veggies growing from the ground Ice creams dripping on the pavement  Inchworms and ladybugs crawling on the leaves Scooters rolling on the ground Playdates occuring on rainy days Soft breezes blowing

1 is at the door. 2 is on the floor. 3 is at the gate. 4 is very late. 5 chews on a bone. 6 talks on the phone. 7 goes on a trip. 8 does a flip. 9 goes to town. 10 is going down.  These are my numbers. What are yours? <  Music Video Happy Spring - Happy Easter! >

Spring reminds me of the warm sun. I call my friends over to Simon's Park for a playdate. I hear the birds singing in spring. Spring is the time animals wake up from their long hibranation and babys are born. Rain is very common in spring. Thousands of flowers bloom in spring. Spring helps make oxygen for us. Spring is a lot of fun. Aditi     Bhattamishra  1st Grade PineGlen Elementary School

Snakes rest most of the day. Snakes have poor eye-sight. They stay in a fairly small place through out their lives. Some species live on land while others live in water. Water snakes move by swimming or floating. The black mamba may be the fastest snake. The black mamba is actually a cobra without a hood. The hog-nosed snake pretends to be dead to fool predetors. When a baby snake hatches, it has to defend for itself. When a water snake is scared, it sprays a smelly liquid to escape predetors. The gaboon viper can camouflage itself.  Aditi Bhattamishra, 1 Grade, Pine Glen Elmentary School
