was for Paul and Vin to get caught and go

to jail then sneak out of jail and get chased

by Boss and Rosco and Enos while Jessie

and Daisy go get a lawyer who is on their

side to help get the files And then Bo and

Luke were going to take the files and switch

them with Bossrsquos then they were going to

take Bossrsquos and burn them If that didnrsquot

work then Billy Bob and Joe were going to

get dressed up like bad guys and talk Boss

into letting them race So they started and

didnt work The second time worked and

they decided to celebrate at the track

Everyone raced just for fun Then they had a

big Hazzard bbq It was the best time ever

Cheese by Anthony

There are many things you didnt know

about cheese There are several different types of

cheese like mozzarella and blue cheese I will talk

about how cheese is made its history and fun facts

It takes a long time to make cheese People

use 2 gallons of fresh milk and leave them for about

24 hours or more until the milk curdles to the

consistency of yogurt The 2 gallons are warmed up

to 86 degrees The cheese is

left over night at a

temperature of 50-60 degrees

and it will form lactic acid

Rennet is added to the milk

and begins the formation of

the curd which takes about

an hour The curds are solid and the wheys are

liquid The curds are cut into little squares and

stirred by hand The curds and the whey are slowly

warmed to 102 degrees until the curds will stay

shaped A cheese cloth is used to separate the curds

from the whey by draining the whey from the curds

The curds are then salted mixed and hung for an

hour The curds can then be shaped into a cheese

wheel It is left to dry for a few days The cheese

wheel is then sealed in

paraffin wax and left to

cure at 40-60 degrees

After 6 weeks the cheese

will be finished Sharp

cheese takes 3-6 months

of curing

Cheese has a big

history Cheese has been

around for at least 4000

years No one knows how cheese was originally

invented The rumor says that a traveler had put

milk in a pouch and after the milk curdled into

cheese he tried to get a drink of milk but found

that there was cheese in his pouch so he took a bite

and liked the taste of the curdled milk Travelers

from Asia brought cheese making from Asia to

Europe The first cheese factory was made in the

United States of America by Jesse Williams By

1880 there were exactly 3923 cheese factories

Around 2000 more than 13 of milk was used to

make cheese in the USA

There are fun facts about cheese There are

more than 2000 types of cheese Most people

worldwide like mozzarella Exactly 10 pounds of

milk is used to make one pound of cheese Some

types of cheese like mozzarella helps prevent tooth

decay by creating saliva which washes out food in

your teeth and that prevents tooth decay

As you can see cheese can be used for

different things and there were probably things that

you didnt know about cheese that you learned on

this paper

learn how to climb trees When the cubs are around

two or three months old they learn how to hunt with

their mother When they are about seven or eight

months they can catch medium size prey At the age

of two years old black panthers can make their own

home range where they can hunt food on their own

and live alone

Black panthers live many different places

They can live in rainforests woodlands marshland

savannahs swamps deserts and mountains They

live in all the different places because they eat so

many different foods Black panthers can pull their

claws inside of their paws when their walking or

running This helps keep their claws sharp

Some interesting facts on black panthers are

black panthers can roar Many cats in the cat family

cant roar Black panthers can have yellow cubs They

survive better in places with humans better than any

other big cat Black panthers have been called the

ghost of the forest because of how sneaky they are

Black panthers are called many different names

in different places of the world Other names for

the black panthers are the black jaguar the black

leopard and the black puma

Black panthers are very big mean cats If

you ever come across a black panther do not mess

with it So there is the life of a black panther

Villians by Gyana

Once in a far far far far far FAR away land there lived 11 villens named Tai Ryker Cody Mason Isaac Anthony Beck Tyson Connor and Ethan They were very evil There also lived 10 girls named Mandy Andi Ashlyn Gyana Hannah Liza Sylvia

Shyann Rilee Zenia and Lexi They were very very kind girls they loved each and every animal in the world but the villains didnrsquot like that because they wanted to experiment on the animals but the girls wouldnrsquot let them because it would hurt the animals so the villains held a meeting in their lab The lead of the villains was Tai and he said We should grab the girls and put them in the dungeon for 32 yearsrdquo but the co-leader Ryker said I think we should starve them in the dungeon It will take a couple of days instead of hearing them scream and yell to get out Everyone agreed but what the boys didnrsquot know was that the girls were listening The girls were glad that they heard the boys so they set out filling bags with bunches and bunches of food and water But if it didnrsquot work out with food and the boys took the food away the girls told every single animal where they would be and that they would call for them if they needed help (they could talk to animals) The girls didnrsquot want to be lonely if they were put in individual

dungeons so they brought their pets with them each had two So that night the boys set out looking for the girls and the girls were expecting them The boys caught the girls and took them to the dungeon They were all in one cell but what the girls didnrsquot know that while the girls knew the boysrsquo plan the boys knew the girlsrsquo plan so while the girls were sleeping the boys snuck in and took their bags of food and the pets In the morning the first person to wake up was Gyana then Andi then Ashlyn and then everyone else at the same time And Gyana said The pets are gone The pets are gone and Ashlyn said The food is too Oh no oh no What are we going to dordquo The boys were listening and then they popped out of the ground into the dungeon The girls called for help from their animal friends but it didnrsquot work Instead Mandy grabbed Tai and then kicked him in the face and Liza punched Ryker and Andi kicked and punched Mason in the face and then all the other boys started taking the girls out of the dungeon to put them in individual dungeons But the girls escaped except that Conner Anthony Ethan and Beck were waiting by the door and took them back into the dungeon But finally the girlsrsquo animal friends got them out and they got the food and their pets and ran away The boys started crying because they were going to experiment on the pets first The End

Or is It

The Wild West by Cody Muir

The Wild West would be a spectacular

place to live You would have no cars just

horses and boots There were people who lived

a life of crime and the sheriff who would track

them down for a hanging Others left to

California with hopes of getting rich And

others went to find new land

William H Bonney better known as Billy

the Kid was an amazing outlaw who

according to legend killed 21 men Billy was

shot by sheriff Pat Garret Other people like

him were Jim Bridger who was a mountain

man He was one of the first white men to find

yellow stone

On January 24 1848 James William

Marshall found a shiny metal After doing tests

it was proved gold and by 1849 the whole

world knew that there was gold in California

And an estimated 90000 people arrived in

California 50000-60000 were Americans the

rest were from other countries Most

Americans traveled by wagon but the other

people from other

parts around the

world came in

boats

Others like

the Mormon

pioneers came to

Utah They came in

wagon trains led by

their prophet Joseph

Smith and Brigham

Young in search for

new land They

came and settled in

ldquoUtardquo After months of traveling they came to a

dry ugly desert and made it what it is today

So the Wild West would be a

spectacular place to live You would have a

new thing to meet you at every corner

something that might kill you or maybe what

could possibly make you the richest man on

earth

Ocelots By Connor Smith

Ocelots are a type of cat They live in southern

Texas and Central America and lots of South America

They are endangered in the United States But they are

also protected here too

Ocelots live in forests and jungles That makes

sense because Central and South America have lots of

forests Ocelots need forests to live because all their food

is in the forests They also need the oxygen the trees

give like we all do but if we keep cutting them down

the ocelots will die out We also like them because they

are cute and can be tamed (rarely) by us

Ocelots eat meat like most big cats do and a lot

of it can be found in the jungles and forests like

monkeys birds frogs and iguanas They also eat rabbits

fish and rodents like moles and squirrels Ocelot

mothers give birth to about three baby kittens every time

they give birth

Ocelots are mammals

carnivores and will fight to the

death They can grow up to 35

inches long and weigh up to 35

pounds Ocelots are a

threatened species Unlike all

other cats they swim very well

Poor ocelots are being hunted

for their fur Luckily they are

protected in the US

African Lions by Rilee

African lions are

marvelous creatures and

they live in Africa Lions are

huge They also have a wide range of prey from

small rodents to baby rhinos They are nocturnal as

well

African lions live on the savannah

grasslands and open woodlands of Africa

Lions look pretty cool All African lions are

a browntan color Male lions have big manes on

their head Females do not Full grown lions are

three feet tall to the shoulder They are the

second largest big cat on earth That is really big

Lions are carnivores They eat meat Usually

lions hunt zebra gazelle wildebeest and buffalo

If they are lucky they can catch hippos or

elephants

Lions are nocturnal That means they are

more active at night African lions are very

social animals They live in groups called

prides Usually in prides there are 30 lions

Those 30 lions are made up of three males and

a dozen females and their cubs A lions only

predator is a human being

African lions are marvelous creatures

These amazing animals live in Africa which is

a really cool place They are awesome because

they are so cool They have a very nice diet

Also they are very social Lions are the best

Hippos By Mason Hanson

This report is about hippos There are five paragraphs in this report and those five paragraphs are 1 where hippos live 2 what they eat 3 what are hipposrsquo predators

4 and of course the conclusion

A hippo lives in Africa in protected areas In those protected areas they live in rivers and swamps They live in a city called Saharan

A hippo eats grass humans and water - related food Hippos have eaten more than 3000 humans a year They also eat their predators sometimes like the alligator

Some hipposrsquo predators are the alligator the lion coyotes bears and humans The lions are the most dangerous to hippos Lions have killed a lot of hippos Bears havent killed that much because bears live in the mountains and hippos live on flat lands And humans have shot a lot

Some interesting facts are that they live up to be 50 years old The Swahili name for hippo is kiboko And hippos weigh 3 12 tons

Now you know where they live what they eat what are their predators and some interesting facts

dungeons so they brought their pets with them each had two So that night the boys set out looking for the girls and the girls were expecting them The boys caught the girls and took them to the dungeon They were all in one cell but what the girls didnrsquot know that while the girls knew the boysrsquo plan the boys knew the girlsrsquo plan so while the girls were sleeping the boys snuck in and took their bags of food and the pets In the morning the first person to wake up was Gyana then Andi then Ashlyn and then everyone else at the same time And Gyana said The pets are gone The pets are gone and Ashlyn said The food is too Oh no oh no What are we going to dordquo The boys were listening and then they popped out of the ground into the dungeon The girls called for help from their animal friends but it didnrsquot work Instead Mandy grabbed Tai and then kicked him in the face and Liza punched Ryker and Andi kicked and punched Mason in the face and then all the other boys started taking the girls out of the dungeon to put them in individual dungeons But the girls escaped except that Conner Anthony Ethan and Beck were waiting by the door and took them back into the dungeon But finally the girlsrsquo animal friends got them out and they got the food and their pets and ran away The boys started crying because they were going to experiment on the pets first The End

Pipe Cleaners by Shyann

Pipe Cleaners were used for

lots of things Their

different parts of history

are pretty interesting Also

there is a pretty fun way to

make them

Nowadays we craft

instead of actually cleaning

pipes But maybe some

people still use them the

other way Fun crafts interest most children

though parents like to throw away their

creations They could make different foods

animals and even make a Santa Clause

Two men named Jhon Harry Stedman

and Charles Angel invented the pipe cleaner in

the early 1900s The pipe cleaners were

originally invented to clean

tobacco pipes They needed

pipe cleaners because the

rod of the pipe was too

small for any tools to fit

inside the neck It also

needed to bend so you dont

have to take twice as long

to clean

Pipe cleaners are

made with a twist of

malleable steel The cotton

pipe cleaners are for actual

cleaning and polyester

ones for crafts Thats how pipe cleaners are

made and are able to bend into anything you

want them to

Pipe cleaners are so much fun Bending

twisting and creating kids can make almost

anything with pipe cleaners

The Journey of the Girls

By Mandy Vanderstek

Their hearts were beating twigs were

snapping under their shoes with every step

they take They were going as fast as they

could possibly go Wait lets back up a little

bit These five girls were sisters and they

lived next to the woods The girls step-mother

was treating them terribly when their father

was out of the house The step-mother made

them scrub till the house was sparkling clean

Then when their father came back their step-

mother took all the credit The girls were

called mean names by their rotten step

mother The names were Bad breath

Scaredy-cat Booger red Snotty pants and

Rotten kid The girls were called these awful

names but they werent their real names the

girlsrsquo real names were Isabelle Katelyn Lilly

Mazie and Taylor They desperately wanted to

get away from their step-mother

Isabelle brought up telling their dad that

their step-mother had been treating them like

rotten eggs and they had been cleaning the

house every day but the other girls disagreed

because they thought that their father wouldnt

believe them The girls would run away

They were so tired of running so the

girls took a break Each one of them fell

asleep except Lilly She was the youngest

but also bravest Lilly was looking around

when her eyes laid on a little cottage out in the

distance If she wanted to explore it she would

have to go with Isabell she was the oldest and

loved to explore Lilly gently shook Isabelle to

wake her up and then they tiptoed down the

hill to the cottage The girls knocked on the

solid door and waited no one responded so

they knocked louder this time Still no

response They had no choice but to walk in

When they opened the door there was a

person standing face to face with them It was

a boy he wouldnt move The girls asked

nicely for him to move but it seemed like he

was stone The man would not blink or talk

and it looked like he couldnt even breathe He

was definitely weird Then the man made sort

of a weeping dog noise The girls went back to

their sisters they were all awake and their

faces were stricken with terror Where were

you We were so worried Lilly and I found a

cottage We were going to go in but there was

a statue person in the way We thought he

was scary so we

came back

All the

girls looked terrified

Isabelle decided to continue on their

journey They walked on dirt sand grass and

rocks The girls came to a little house where

nobody lived They thought maybe they

should take the house Katelyn was looking at

the house one day and realized that it used to

be their grandparents house She told her

sister Isabelle and her reaction was

unspeakable They treasured the house for

millions of years Then one day when they

were eating lunch there was a knock on the

door But nobody ever visited Isabelle and

her sisters went to open it It was the man

like stone All the girls jumped back in fright

Only Isabelle and Lilly had seen this man

The man started to morph into a little

brown and white spotted puppy The girls

promised the man if he stayed in that form

they would keep him otherwise they would

throw him out He agreed so the

girls had a cute little dog running

around their house They named

him Spot Spot was a good dog

except on one day little Spot ran off

The girls went to search for him

The girls were walking down

a rocky road when the path split into

two paths Lilly and Isabelle went

one way and Katelyn Taylor and

Maizie went the other way Taylor

spotted something rustling in the

bushes It was Spot Follow him

Taylor said They were led to a little

house made of straw They knocked on the

door and a beautiful young lady opened the

door After a quick second Mazie realized that

she was her mom Isabelle and Lilly came to a

dead end So they went back to the other

trail They found tracks of their sisters and

Spot They found themselves at the straw

house and went inside They found the

girls Spot and surprisingly their mom

Mom they yelled ldquoHi girls You

must be Lilly and Isabelle whispered their

mom I have a surprise for you girls

The girlsrsquo mom said What is it yelled the

girls in interest The girls heard a voice and

recognized it immediately It was their dad

their real dad The family was finally back

together they had waited patiently for this

moment This was the moment where they

belonged The End

All About Cheetahs By Ethan

Cheetahs are amazing creatures the fastest cat in

the world Both adults

and cubs rely on

camouflage to stay safe

and hunt unseen by

other animals Cheetahs

commonly scope from

termite mounds to make

spotting prey easier

Also males hunt in

groups to put the odds

of a catch bigger and

better A cheetahs claws are always out so they use them to

turn sharply when chasing prey Also they not only use

speed for prey but to tire out lions too

Have you ever wondered why a cheetah has spots

Their coat has a unique pattern to help them stay hidden

from animals The streaks below their eyes help block out the

sun so they can see farther to help find prey easier The tail is

used to stay balanced at high speeds The upper legs of a

cheetah are beefy with muscle This is the cats main

ingredient for high speeds
