Lewie's Writing

The Chipmunk

          The chipmunk is a fascinating animal.  It lives in a unique habitat, has adapted many survival skills, and has other interesting qualities.

          The chipmunk lives in a unique habitat.  Most chipmunks live in the forests and woods.  They also live in underground burrows.  Chipmunks are even found at the edges of deserts.                                        

The chipmunk has many adaptations that help it survive.  It goes up trees.  It can swim away from predators.  It can go to its home which is an underground burrow.

          There are other neat facts that make the chipmunk a special animal.  The chipmunk has a black stripe on its back and it has brown fur.  The chipmunk can store nuts in its cheeks.  It can go into “crazy mode” if there is a predator!

MY FAMILY

My name is Lewie and I am 8 years old.  I live with my Mom, Dad, and 16-year-old sister in Normal, Illinois.  We have lived here for 7 years.  We moved from North Carolina.  I also have a dog named Fly.  My family likes having fun!

My Dad loves to fish.  My Mom and sister love to shop!  I enjoy reading, playing with friends, and playing video games.  I also like throwing the Frisbee to Fly.  As a family we love cooking on the grill and taking trips. 

We have visited zoos, aquariums, museums, and many different beaches.  On some weekends, we walk down Constitution Trail.  My family also enjoys boat rides and visiting family in Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama.  We usually travel in July.  During the summer we spend some weekends in Chicago and St. Louis, Missouri.

Our favorite month is December.  My sister and I have birthdays in December!  Christmas is our favorite holiday.  We also like December because of the snow!  My family goes to Georgia that day after Christmas.  We leave the snow in Illinois and enjoy the sunshine and warm weather in Georgia!

How to Make Your Parents Buy You Something

If you want your parents to buy you something, you have to tell them that you need something.  The materials needed are:  your mouth, the truth, and a sprinkle of “white lies”.

    Tell them that you love them.  Tell them that you will clean up the house.  Lie to them and hope you don’t get caught!  Tell them that you need something for school.  That one always works!  Ask for an early Christmas present.  You can ask for something at Halloween and Thanksgiving.  During the summer you can tell them that you miss school and you are lonely and need something from the store.  In spring and autumn you can promise to have a good report card.  A good report card will always get you something!
