playground balls to my best friend. When it's summer I can stomp on the ants swarming on the
burning hot sidewalk. I can walk to the playground with the green slides, that is in the
naborhood next-door. I also love my feet because I can kick my sister when she starts sucking
on her disgusting feet, but that's another story. In the winter I like my feet because I can jump
into the huge mountain of snow that my dad builds every year. I also like my feet in the winter
because I can hop on Camryns sled and we can go sliding down the Kishes big hill with me
pushing behind.In the summer I can jump on my nabor's trampoline, boing, boing. I can hopscotch
on the smooth sement gym floor. And that's why I think my feet are the best part of me! :)

by Riley
So you might think what's the deal about my thumb. "Well here it is." I
could not hold a book big or small with out my thumb. I could not play
volleyball nor write with out my thumb. And when i'm hungry I could
not get a snack with out my thumb. I could not count to 5 with my

my thumb. I could not play with dominos nor play with my brown hair.
And that's the deal about my thumb!

So my brother can't beat me up I repeatedly mimic him until he walks
away.
My mouth let's me say ridiculously funny words like....PURPLE
PENGUINS!!!!!!! When I say that it is probably loud enough to break my
brothers eardrums.
It let's me chug soda and chew with my mouth full.And when I talk I
make sloppy noises. It let's me imitate Justin Beiber and lady opera
singers. It also let's me scare people and tickle people by screaming in
other peoples ears and you can blow in other peoples ears.
And that's why my mouth is super!

what can my elbow do well. I Could not play in soft ball with out
my elbow. I could not all so play a strong note in violin. I could not
even play. I also could not move my arm to catch a fast kick in soccer
when I am goalie. I could not also make my arm shoot a basket as
high as a tree and get it in. my elbow could not help my arm lift
weights as strong as a elephant . I all so could not move my arm as
fast as lightning. And now think what would I be with out my
elbow.
