How I Learned to Skateboard
by Gracie
Learning how to ride a skateboard was not easy. Last year for Christmas I was making a list of things for “Santa” and i wanted a skateboard. I remember my mom saying, “You want a skateboard?’ and raising her eyebrows.
What got me started on the whole skateboard idea was because all my brothers used to ride skateboards and my cousins Bailey and Dustin ride BMX bikes, and skateboard all the time.
When I got my skateboard for Christmas I was so excited. My brother in-law Sergio was the one that taught me how to ride it. ” You have to kick off on whatever foot feel comfortable,” he said as he demonstrated. First, I fell on my rear end a couple of times. he laughed and said, “You just have to get up and try again.” Then, I was finally getting the hang of it and was really comfortable with riding.
Then, when i got really used to it I was riding down the road in circles. I could even steer with my feet. “Great job,” Sergio shouted then started helping my brother. Now, I’m not the best skater, but, Sergio taught me so it means a lot to me. I can still hear my nephew in my head, Amare said, ” I’m going to laugh when you fall on your face.”

How I Learned to Do Art
By Jaime
When I was six years old, I remember my brother and I went to my grandmas house for the day. My brother had brought some colorful blocks to play with and was towering high some yellow ones. But I was bored with them.
My grandma had lots of drawers filled with interesting things to play with. I pulled open the one that I could reach and pulled out a canvas and some paint. I was familiar with the paint because my first grade teacher had some on her highest shelf for the older kids. But I had no idea what the canvas was.
”Whats this?” I asked my grandma.
“That’s a canvas,” said my grandma. “Painters use it to paint on. You can use it if you want”
“Yes!!” I shouted.
“Me too!” yelled my brother.
I sat at the table. What should I paint? I thought. I looked out the window and saw bight pink flowers. Of course! I dipped my brush in the green paint and painted a shaky line on the paper. Then I took one of every color and painted petals. “Its a flower,” I said proudly. I added my name and the date and we hung it up on the wall. And now I have tons of canvases with my paintings on them.

How I Learned to Make Sugar Cookies
By Iesha
About a month ago I learned how to make sugar cookies. It started at Walmart. I asked my mom, ”Mom can we get sugar cookie dough. I’ll make and cook them for us to eat?”
”Sure why not.”my mom said.When we got home I put the grocerrys away. A couple of days later I decided to make the cookies.
First I got out the pans. Second I read the instructions on the packet. Then I opened the packet and ripped the dough into smaller pieces then shaped them into little tiny balls and my mom helped me put the pan in the oven so they could cook. After that I started to read then about 15 minutes later I heard a beeping noise, my cookies were finally finished cooking!
When they were done cooling off I had some really tasty cookies for our desert with our dinner. That I made all by myself with a little help from my mom. I hope I can make cookies again!

How I Learned to Like Math
by Luis
It was one day when I was in first grade when I noticed I was good at math. I raised my hand and told the teacher “I’m done.”
Then she said “OK Luis.” Then I was looking around the room and I was the first one done. So then school finished.
So when I got home I told my parents “I like math a lot,” and they said,
“Almost all our family is good at math.” So then I was surprised! So I went to go ask my brother,
“Are you good at math?”
He said, “Yes Luis.” So then it was time to go to sleep. Then I was dreaming about math!
Then I woke up and told my parents that I had a dream about math! They said “You must really like math.”Then I told them,
“Yeah I do like math a lot.” Then it was time to go to school and I was so happy to like math. So now math is my favorite subject in school. And I have also done really good at math.

How I Learned to Play XBOX
by Zach
When I was about seven years old i got a Xbox 360. I was in love with it and I always played it. I have played for quite some time. I have played Xbox for about 5 years. My cousin has played for about 7 years. I am not a really serious person when it comes to games I just have fun. Sometimes I get serious but that’s only sometimes.
The only games I usually play are Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Mine Craft. I got Mine Craft about a year ago for both Xbox and PC. I got Call Of Duty about 5 months ago. I play Call Of Duty more than Mine Craft. I like Mine Craft because it’s fun building and killing animals. I like Call Of Duty because of the shooting and it’s fun.
When I get really serious with my games I usually say, “Oh come on.” Or I also say, “Are you kidding me right now!” My cousin is usually the one getting mad but I got used to it. I love video games and will never stop unless I get a job and get off my lazy butt once and a while.
