What Is a Day You Will Never Forget? Personal Narrative What Is A Day You Will Never Forget? Mrs. Allen’s 5th Graders October 2016 1 A Day I Will Never Forget By Karleigh Adair A day I will never forget is the day when we smushed sprinkles, marshmallows, and starbursts together. Then, we heated them up, and ate them. First, Mrs. Allen did it herself. The results looked like a bubbling, burnt rainbow. Then we tried it. It was really messy, but super fun! I got to share a plate with Sam and Anantha. When we heated them up, they were not burnt this time. We used our fingers to eat them, and they tasted sooo good! We ate them all up! Our fingers were really sticky, so we had to wash them, and that is a day I will never forget. 2 Sarah Alhashimi Mrs. Allen 11/16/2016 A Day I Will Never Forget I always watch my best friends doing the things I never thought I could do. One of them was trying to do cartwheels. I tried practicing at home. I searched up how to do cartwheels on the internet and i followed what they told me to do. I was scared, But i recorded myself trying to do my very rst cartwheel. I believed in myself, and I did it. I was jumping with happiness. I ran to my phone to see what i looked doing it. I watched myself doing a cartwheel, but I wasn’t too happy with way I did it. I noticed my legs were not straight and so were my arms. I almost hit the side of my bed, but I was still Happy with myself. I knew now I could do anything with practice. When I was ready to do the second cartwheel, I felt more condent. This time, I also recorded myself. I saw that I still had a little bit of mistakes, but I still made a better cartwheel this time than I did last time. I knew I was going to be able to a perfect cartwheel that I always dreamed of doing. I was still very happy with my progress. Again, I was very condent with myself. I knew I was going to do a perfect cartwheel at the end, but I also knew I had a lot of work to do. So i was ready to do my third cartwheel. I had my phone ready and everything as usual. I did it, this time I did much better. I did not struggle with my arms, but my legs still needed a little bit of work. Overall, I am very happy to know that i can now do something that i thought was impossible. I now know that nothing is impossible and it can be possible with practice! 3 The Day I Will Never Forget By Abigail Anokye The day I will never forget is the time I rode a blue roller coaster at Kings Dominion. This day happened this year. Even though this day had occurred a while ago, it will be one special moment that I will never forget. I felt happy and scared emotions and feelings on this ride and I will explain all how it started. On the weekend of the first week of school my church and I visited Kings Dominion. We all met together and drove in a white van. Everyone was super excited when they saw a sign that said Kings Dominion! We were there! We got out of the van and took out our backpacks. We couldn’t wait to ride all the amazing rides! We ran into the amusement park and we saw all the magnificent fun transportation that we could go on. We had a map so that we could get an image at the rides that we wanted to fun rides first. We were walking when I caught my eyes on a blue roller coaster. We all boarded the roller coaster,the roller coaster was moving slowly up the tracks. I clenched my teeth...that’s when it dropped down fast! It was going crazy! I closed my eyes until the ride ended. When it ended the employees helped us unbuckle our seat belts. The roller coaster was pretty terrifying! But I still had fun! We still had more fun things to do. At the end, I had fun. Everyone was talking about the about how fun it was. We decided that before we left we would go on the roller coaster again and we did. That was the BEST thing I’ve ever rode! And that will be a moment that I will cherish….And a day I will never forget! 4 #4 A Day I will Never Forget By:Tala Barghouty It was the summer of 2016. I was on a United plane seated near the window seat next to my mom. The plane was just about to land in Honolulu Hawaii and at the time a flight attendant was coming around and telling the passengers somthing along with a paper, and me being me, I HATE PLANES, so I thought that we would C RASH! I started to panic, “Mom, I think that he is telling us to prepare for a CRASH!”My mom had on her “stop goofing around face” I quickly screwed myself into the seat. Suddenly, the flight attendant stood right next to the row of seats “Hi ma'am” The flight attendant named Collin said in a country accent. “Oh no” I thought to myself A MILLION thoughts went through my head before Collin could say a word “Hi, my name is Collin, and I want to tell you about our landing, “Now i am definitely dead” I thought to myself, “Ok so the first thing i want to tell you is about our landing,” Collin said in his country accent. “Over in Hawaii, we use a ramp to get off of the plane,” Collin added . YAY! I said quietly “i am safe.” Now it is time for the bad news because we all know bad news comes especially on planes and movies about planes. So, now let's get back to the story... “Now the bad news’ ” Collin said. I started to hyperventilate. “We are about to run out out of …..” Said Collin. “Out of what F uel? ” I thought nervously. Collin did a slight cough and said, “Sorry bout that we are out of gummy bears” “WHAT” I said to myself “that's it,” Then a random Lady yelled “WHAT, MY SON NEEDS GUMMY BEARS,” Then a little boy added “DUMMY BEAWS” That was a day that I will never forget! 5 A day I will never forget By: Samantha Beitzel One day, last Christmas, my dog, named Luna, ran away. She ran away because she saw a person with a puppy, but Luna didn't like the puppy so she kept running down the street, all the way down to the volleyball court. Then Luna started digging into the snowy sand on the volleyball court until she found thick ice. Next, she she ran all the way back into the house into her soft bed and fell asleep. Then I thought to myself what is Luna dreaming about. I thought that she was dreaming about running because her legs were moving fast. When she woke up, she ran to the front door and started barking at a snowman. The neighbors built it in the front yard. After that, she started running around the house like someone put a treat on her nose. The next day, my friend, Tess came over with her dog, Lucky and we went to the dog park and they had so much fun together. 6 The Day I Will Never forget By:Swetha Bharat Ring,Ring,Ring! That was my alarm. Today was the day! Waking up at 5:30am was not easy for a person like me. Today, we were going to Jamestown for our eld trip this year. We had to be at Liberty Elementary at 6:00am sharp. My dad was very tired when I woke him up. He was literally crying and telling me to leave him alone. I nally got him to wake up and we got ready to go. When we reached the museum at the Jamestown site, I was amazed. There were so many artifacts. I thought that the museum was made of gold! When we got in, I wanted to literally scream! If I did, I am pretty sure Asia could have heard me from a thousand miles away. First, Ms. Cooper gave us some rules to follow. After my teacher nished talking, I slowly walked in the beautiful, gold house of magic history. The rst half of the museum was lled with fantabulous artifacts. I saw pottery and many ancient models. They were kept in special glass casings, so they couldn’t break. I also saw this excellent map with information about ancient information that happened in Jamestown. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take pictures of the museum. The museum was wonderful and it was a breathtaking place to look at. The second half of the museum was lled with statues and interesting 3D models of ancient sculptures. I saw a big statue of a man, but I didn't know who it was. The second part of the museum also had a bundle of information about all the things at Jamestown. There were horses, carriages, jails, and cardboard cutouts. I liked the cardboard cutouts the most because they can transform you into a completely different person. The cardboard cutouts are very creative.

  • Never Forget, Never Again
    “I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Jewish author and Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech From the Rabbi Each year Jews around the world observe Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day — commemorating a horrific chapter not only in the history of the Jewish people, but also in the history of the world. Motivated by a fanatical hatred of Jews and a desire to rid society of “undesirable” elements, the Nazi regime that ruled Germany during the mid-20th century engaged in a systematic and brutal campaign to destroy the Jewish people. Harvesting the fruits of seeds sown through centuries of anti-Semitism, they nearly succeeded, murdering six million Jews, or about one third of the world’s Jewish population at the time. The full name of Holocaust Remembrance Day in Hebrew is actually “Yom HaShoah Ve-Hagevurah,” meaning “Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day.” This reminds us that even though many ignored evidence of Nazi crimes, there were those who went to great lengths to save Jews. Many of these heroes are remembered today as “righteous gentiles.” In Holland, Corrie ten Boom sheltered those fleeing Nazi oppression. In France, Pastor André Trocmé helped to make an entire town, Le Chambon, a safe haven for persecuted Jews. Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish Chris- tian, rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazi death machine. And there were, of course, many more who are less well-known, but no less deserving of our gratitude.

When they finish speaking, they turn their backs to the audience (BTA).
