My Favorite Memory

Describe one of your fondest memories. What made that experience so happy for you? How would you feel if you couldn’t remember that experience?

My fondest memory would be the time when I went to Magic Springs. It was astonishing! The water slides were so cool! We would slide into a pool of water and then try it all over again. The bigger pool was just as neat. When the lifeguard blew his whistle, it meant the really big waves were coming! I almost fell down in the water when the waves were on! I also got to ride the non water rides. They were so fun to ride. One of the rides was so twisty and curvy that I almost threw up since I rode twice. I would hate to forget that wonderful experience!

My Favorite Memory Describe one of your fondest memories. What made that experience so happy

for you? How would you feel if you couldn’t remember that experience?

I had the best day ever in preschool. It was almost the last day of school. My mom was picking me up. Just when I took 2 steps outside, a small puppy jumped out of the car and attacked me with licks. I asked my mom why the dog was in our car. She said “Its name is Jacobi and we adopted him!” It was the best day of my life. I will never forget it!

My favorite place to play is the river by my house. One reason I like to play in the river is you can swim in it. It is like a calming pool! You can also sit on a float! It is very relaxing. You might see a frog or fish. The fish are tiny and fast as a running dog. The frogs are big and loud. “Croak! Croak!” Another reason it is fun is because you can make a dam. You can build it out of rocks and sticks that you find. That is why you should go there. It will be fun.

Egypt is famous because it has the famous pyramids.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

The Nile River is over 4,000 miles long.

Cleopatra and King Tut were both pharaohs.

The people who were mummified were the people who could afford it. Egyptians human spirit is called the Ka. When a body dies it decomposes under warm water circumstances. A persons body has to be in a well preserved place for its spirit to be resolved.

The organs and intestines have to be removed before the body is preserved. A mummy has to be preserved so that it does not rot or decay. The progress of preserving the body is called mummification.

Mummies have been around for 4,000 years. Mummies are found in the pyramids. Egyptians put gum over mummies and then put them in wooden cases.
