Spiders have eight legs and even lay their own eggs. Spiders are afraid of birds, haven’t you heard? Betty Holden Stike Education Laboratory Page 1 Winter and Rosie By Ellie Hauck Tutor: Alexandra Henderson I would like to dedicate this book to Olivier Dunrea because his book, Little Cub, inspired me to write this book. Rosie is a little pup who lives alone outside of town. She is afraid to go into town because she is afraid of getting lost. Rosie has rosy red fur and is very shy. Winter lives in the middle of town. She is a grown dog. She is not shy, but she is very alone and scared. She has a job and no friends. Rosie tried to find food. She was unable to find food because she is too little to find food on her own. Rosie is lonely. Winter could find food because she had a lot of money and could find food at the store. But, she is lonely. Rosie decides to go into town so she can find someone to be with. She wandered around and got lost. Winter was on her way home from the store and saw Rosie who looked lost. She asked Rosie if she was lost. Rosie said yes. Winter asks “Do you have a family?” Rosie said “No”. Winter asks “What is your name?” Rosie said “I am Rosie”. Winter says “I like that name, I will call you Rosie! Do you want to be mine?” “I like that” said Rosie. Winter and Rosie become a family! THE END Betty Holden Stike Education Laboratory Page 2 The Magical Flower By MacKenzie Royall Tutor: Joy Alford Once upon a time, two sisters named Nixey and Taylor lived in a beautiful stone barn on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. They had a dog named Pluto, a cat named Snowflake, and a horse named Susan. One day, Pluto became very sick and was about to die. Since they lived in the middle of nowhere, there was no doctor around. Everyone was so sad. Taylor left the ranch to go look for a doctor. While Taylor was gone, Nixey found a mysterious paper with the words “A cure to illness” written at the top. She decided to follow the directions to see if she could save Pluto. The recipe called for one tree from the yard, one shirt with a picture of the dying animal’s best friend on it, one pair of pants the color of the animal’s enemy, water, and a chain. Nixey got all of the items together and mixed them in a big pot just like the instructions said to do. After everything was mixed, out came a beautiful tree that was covered in magical, turquoise flowers. Nixey put Pluto in a big bathtub filled with water and the magical flowers. Overnight, the cure healed Pluto completely! Everyone was so happy again until Nixey realized that Taylor never came home from looking for a doctor. When they went outside to look for her, they were so shocked and sad when they realized Taylor had turned into one of the trees in the yard! Nixey missed the part of the “cure to illness” at the bottom of the page that said: “If you do this, the dying animal will live, but the person you love the most will turn into a tree.” Betty Holden Stike Education Laboratory Page 3 Facts About Sharks By Maddox Mullen Tutor: Kelly Arnold The nurse shark curls its side fins down and walks on them like legs. The nurse sharks pile up on top of each other and lay as if they are sleeping. Whale sharks can grow up to 45 feet long. Whale sharks can weigh more than 30,000 pounds. The great white shark is the star of the movie Jaws. Great white adult sharks are apex predators. The saw shark uses its nose to catch its prey because the nose is a saw. A hammerhead shark head has a flat bar on each side. The hammerhead shark head has nostrils and eyeballs on each side of the head. Betty Holden Stike Education Laboratory Page 4 HARRY IS COMING TO SCHOOL! By Lainey Vann Tutor: Liz Ashton I wish I could bring a koala bear to school. I would name him Harry. Harry would have a black nose and be furry. He would be a medium size koala. I would dress him up in a red shirt. He would wear blue sneakers. He would sit in my lap and I would play with him. He would color during class. Harry would sleep in math class. I would feed him Lunchables. I would bring him juice boxes. My friend, Kinea, would bring her bear, too. Harry and the bear would play together. Betty Holden Stike Education Laboratory Page 5 The Meteor is Coming! By Esteban Garnica Tutor: Sarah Bischoff Jon wants to see a dinosaur.

  • DNA Testing Solves Mystery of Titanic Survivor Claim 22 January 2014, by Bob Yirka
    DNA testing solves mystery of Titanic survivor claim 22 January 2014, by Bob Yirka liner. Loraine Allison and her mother were both believed lost when the ship sank though neither body was ever recovered. The child's father also died when the ship sank but his body was eventually found. Kramer insisted that she'd been taken in and raised by a man, a fellow passenger in the lifeboat, who explained to her sometime later that she was the missing child. Adding to the sensationalism of the story was Debrina Woods, Helen Kramer's granddaughter who claimed to have physical evidence that her grandmother was who she claimed to be and more recently said she was writing a book about the whole story. That was enough apparently for a group of Titanic aficionados to get together and create what they called the "Loraine Allison Identification Project." That resulted in funding to undertake DNA testing of members of both of the involved families—a great niece of Loraine's mother and Woods' half-sister—the results show absolutely no connection between the two families. The story of the missing toddler took on more Brave Nurse and the Babe She Saved: Alice Cleaver drama when it was revealed that she was believed with Trevor Allison, survivors of the sinking of the RMS to be the only non-adult housed in the first class Titanic after disembarking from the RMS Carpathia section of the boat to have died when the ship sank. Various reports from survivors suggest the family remained on the ship looking for little Loraine's younger brother, who unbeknownst to (Phys.org) —DNA testing has proven that Helen them, had been placed in a lifeboat by a servant.

  • El Barco Fantasma Del 14 De Abril 1912
    El barco fantasma del 14 de Abril 1912. Una novela de ficción basada en hechos reales con los detectives Flynn y O’Malley en una de sus últimas aventuras. Javier Torres Landa V. 2015. 1 Advertencia. Flynn y O'Malley son personajes ficticios, y Yo, es el autor de este escrito quien ha decidido utilizar el recurso que ofrecen los relatos de ficción utilizando indistintamente estas denominaciones en el transcurso del relato. Quizá esto cree algunas confusiones y/o problemas de redacción, de ortografía y/o de gramática o hasta de comprensión pero recuerden que nadie es perfecto, ningún escrito es perfecto. Por lo mismo siempre habrá algún aspecto, algún párrafo, alguna referencia que de una forma u otra no se llega a aclarar pero que constituye parte de las intenciones del autor. Las que expresadas en pocas palabras significa el tratar de involucrar al lector de manera que asimile el relato, reflexione sobre sus inconsistencias o defectos pero que en general disfrute de uno de los placeres que nuestra 'era cibernética' amenaza con terminar y que simplemente es que todavía tenemos la oportunidad de leer y hacer uso de nuestra imaginación. 2 1 Uno de los grandes misterios que aún permanecen como incógnita de aquella fatídica noche del 14 al 15 de Abril de 1912 es el reporte de un barco misterioso que los tripulantes del TITÁNIC vieron en las cercanías del trasatlántico una vez que hubieron colisionado con un iceberg, una aparición fantasmagórica (que pudo ser real y a la que no se dio la importancia que debería).

  • CHILDREN of the TITANIC Their Story - Their Words (5 Days That Shaped Their Lives)
    1 CHILDREN OF THE TITANIC Their story - Their words (5 days that shaped their lives) Whether traveling in first, second or third class, life on the Titanic was a thrilling experience for children of all ages. Some were merely babes in the arms of young mothers, others groups of rowdy immigrants tagging alongside their parents, eager to see the shores of America; yet others were young men and women awaiting a new life far from their poverty-stricken homelands. Though they came from different backgrounds, all were united in awe as they gazed upon the massive, 'unsinkable' ship destined to carry them to a new life. Then came April 15, 1912 and their young lives were forever changed. 2 3 GRANDE STAIRCASE FOYER FIRST-CLASS First class was by far the most luxurious and privileged class on board the Titanic, and the few children who sailed the seas in such comfort were lucky indeed. Mainly these youngsters were accompanying their parents on extravagant vacations and the Titanic was merely the final leg of their journey - a grand ship that would take them home in the height of opulence and style. Most of the younger children were cared for by governesses and nurses, whose job it was to constantly dote on their pampered charges, changing their diapers, taking them out for walks on the decks, and tucking them in at night. Eleven-year old William Carter II, probably the richest child on board along with his sister Lucile, had a manservant to ensure he was the model of stateliness. Seventeen-year old Vera Dick was even married! Lucile Carter (14) William Carter (11) +parents 4 B96 & B98 The Carters had been living in England for the past year.
