=plants adaptions=

=habitat= the sarges habitat is the water, the sarg would live in a warm water area with a mucky bottom for the plant to dig its roots into. the sarges main area is the florida swamps. =details= the size of sarg mainly depends on how deep the water is. the stem is very flexible and about 3 inches around, the air bubble at the top of the stem is about 5 inches around. the air in the air bubble is filled with oxygen. at the top of the stem there is always one big leaf about 8 inches around. the flower is yellow to attract the insects that would pollinate the flower, the flower is 3 leaved and about 3 inches around. sarg is a herbacous plant with a non-woody stem. =life cycle= the sarges are annual plants so they go threw there life cycle only one time. they start with germination which is when the plant starts growing its stem out of the soil, next is maturation when sarg grows the one big leaf on top, now is reproduction when the flower grows and starts getting pollinated by the insects and shooting out its seeds threw the tubes connected to the ovule, last comes death and sarg dies instantly after it shoots its last seed. adaptions the sarge has adapted to the water by having strong roots that dig deep into the ground, and has a flexible stem to move with the current at the top of the stem the sarge has a air pocket to help hold it out of the water, sarge has a leaf at the top of its stem that has chloriphyl on the top to collect the sunlight for food, sarge produces seeds that get shoot out and sink to the bottom of the water to start germinating

Grace, Your work here looks really good, except for the capital letter errors. Be really careful on your final product. It might be easier to correct here. Mr. K.

= = = = =The Birthday Puppy= "Yip Yip" "the sounds of puppies are still flowing threw my head". My sister Lizzi and I get to pick out a puppy for our birthday. Today were going to puppy palace to pick out the puppy we would like. We both wanted a small fluffy puppy,so we did some research on the computer and decided to get a maltise.

When we got to puppy palace we asked were we could find all the maltises and the owner said"the mom just had a liter of 6 puppies 8 weeks ago, so they will be able to be bought tommorow. We said" our birthday is tomorow so could we put a puppy on reserve please". The owner said sure and led us back to the puppies so that we could pick out the one we want. we picked out the smallest of the liter, it was was white with a couple brown patches.

At home Lizzi and I were jumping on our beds singing Hannah Montana songs cause our birthday was tommorow, Did I mention me and lizzi are twins, I was born 30 seconds before Lizzy. Our birthday is June 6th so we get to pick up our puppy on our birthday.

The next day we went to pick her up but they said she had gotten sick overnight because her mom was sick and somehow she had gotten put in the same cage with her mom, so we could pick out any other puppy. Me and Lizzy cried because we already had a name, Buttercup and we wanted her for our tenth birthday. We asked when they thought buttercup would be better, but they said "it could be weeks". we said "we'll wait and come help with her every day"

The next day Lizzi and I set off to puppy palace, when we got there Buttercup was laying there helplessly so the owner brought in the food and water to give her before her medicene. We did this for three weeks but she only got worse. On third day of the third the week we went to see buttercup but she was almost dead, so we ran to the owner and he hopped in his car and said" grab Buttercup and lets go to the animal hospital Lea and Lizzi, buttercup kept yipping as we carried her.

When we got to the animal hospital the vet rushed buttercup into a room and said we could wait in the waiting room while she tries to save buttercup. Waiting in the waiting room felt like forever, though it was orange and smelled like apricots. After what felt like an hour the vet came out and said" Buttercup should be fine,but we could not take her home for three days.

Lizzi asked if we could come help take care of her and check in on buttercup, the vet said sure so for the next couple of days Lizzi and I would go to the vets and help give buttercup her medicene. On the 4th day the vet said we could take buttercup home.

When we got home our mom said" you finally got to bring her home" and we said" yes and she is healthy so we can play with her and take her on walks. Lizzi said"were going upstairs to make a bed for buttercup!

The next day we went to our first summer soccer game, Lizzi and I thought it would be funny to dress up buttercup in our uniform and bring her to the game. So we dessed her up in our uniform we had bought off the dog days website and were on our way to the game.

When we got to the game everybody cheered for buttercup and her magnificent uniform. We ended up winning that game 2-0 and buttercup was our lucky charm/ best mascot for the rest of the season!!!!

__**Annabelles Fantasy Fun Quest**__ " Violet look look" said Annabelle " I lost my tooth"

" Well thats only your fourth this week" said Violet sarcasticaly

Annabelle went to her bedroom put on her pjs and went to bed.

In the morning Annabelle looked under her pillow and saw a 20 dollar bill and a note, Annabelle ran downstairs and said " Look look 20 dollars!!!!!!

Violet said "well well dear Im sure your mother would be proud of you"

Thats when Annabelle started thinking about all she remembered of her mom was a bright smile and a fancy room.

Annabelle is an orphan and violet is her guardian

Annabelle ran to her room to read her note and it said Your mom is a queen she lives far from here To get to her first go to the river were you you'll find your next clue Annabelle had always imagined her mom but she never thought her mom was a queen or even lived that far from here.

Annabelle quickly ran downstairs and said " Violet Im going to the river"

Annabelle then dashed out the door, not daring look back or even look forward, she kept her eyes locked on her feet.

As Annabelle ran she slipped, she was stuck in quick sand which would not budge.

"Violetttttttttttttttt" Annabelle screamed. Violet could not hear her

After 5 min. a unicorn came and spit in the sand.

Annabelle could get out, she hugged the unicorn then hurried away her head up high.

When Annabelle got to he river she noticed the clue was in the middle of the river where it was five ft. deep.

"oh come on" whispered Annabelle to herself "how am i ever going to get that clue".

Then Annabelle saw a branch just log enough to reach the clue.

"YES" said Annabelle excitedly

second clue Follow the footprints you'll see in the morn, but don't dare go home for your search will be done.

Annabelle did not dare go home, so she built a leaf bed were Violet would not be able to see her if she came looking.

. ..

" Oh were is she, I better go looking for her" said Violet

Violet went to the river but saw nothing and decided to come back tommorow.

. . . In the morning Annabelle woke up and immediatly started searching for the footprints.

"Here they are" she finally exclaimed

The footprints were leading her north towards the train station.

Annabelle walked day and night until she came to an elf!!

The elf said "Here is your train ticket, here is your clue, read your clue on the train. Your train leaves in 10 min so hurry along Annabelle.

"But where am I going to" cried annabelle

"Just run along, you'll find out on the train" exclaimed the elf

So Annabelle got on the train and started to read the clue, it said Third clue You are going to north carolina there you will meet santa clause.

Annabelle was very confused, she did not Know were her mom actually did live. So she just sat thinking about her mom and Violet and everything that was ahead of her, until she fell back asleep.

"Oh dear were could Annabelle be, why would she run away was I mean was I ignoring her" Violet worridly said

Then all of the sudden Violet started thinking that maybe Annabelle had gone searching for her parents just like the rest of the children.

Annabelle woke up to a load screech of the wheels, the man next to her was eating a cheeseburger which made Annabelle very hungry.

"Um could i have have piece of that" said Annabelle "Well, oh I now I can't I'm just very hungry"

The man tore off a piece and said "I know about your quest to meet your mother, I am an ogger and I was sent to watch you on the train ride"

Annabelle kept thinking (should I trust this guy) and (was I talking in my sleep)

"Um thanks I, I haven't eaten since thursday morning" Annabelle explained

Annabelle got off the train and was stunned bueaty of the ocean and the sun rise.

"Hi i'm Annabelle if you don't mind me asking where am I" Annabelle asked a old lady

"You are in north carolina and I have a feeling that your ride is over there in that truck that say's Annabelle." Exclaimed the old lady.

"Thanks" said Annabelle

Annabelle headed over to the truck, when she saw a reindeer in the back and santa in the front seat she went crazy and ran over as quickly as she could.

"So I hear you'll be riding vixon here over those oceans" laughed santa in his jolly happy voice

"Uh, I guess sir. Do you happen to have anything to eat, I havent eaten anything since thursday morning but a piece of cheeseburger" said Annabelle while trying to hold back a growl in her stomach.

"Well your never gonna grow girl if you don't eat, heres a little treat from Mrs. Clause dear" exclaimed santa clause

Annabelle ate the treat and said "Wow thats really fills you up"

"Well its a treat thats keeps you full for 24 hours" laughed santa

Annabelle got in the truck and said "Well up up and away

Annabelle and santa drove five miles down the sandy beaches before they reached an open beach.

"Vixon should get you half way across the ocean before you meet Bigfoot" mumbled Santa

"Your saying I will have to meet bigfoot in the middle of the ocean and read a clue" explained Annabelle

"Well I can't tell you to much but, I hope you end up safe, this is very brave of you Annabelle".

Annabelle was actually getting kind of scared and even a little bit home sick or orphanage sick.

Once they were to a beach with no people on it Santa stopped the truck and said "Well all you have to do is ride on vixon out to bigfoot, vixon will tell you when to jump and bigfoot will have your next clue"

Annabelle nervously stepped out of the truck and jumped onto vixon. "goodbye I guess I'll see you in a month." muttered Annabelle to santa as vixon took off into the air across the ocean.

Annabelle rode on vixon over three hours before finally spotting bigfoot holding the clue in his thumb and pinky akwardly.

Vixon screamed "jump"

Annabelle got the felling she should jump so she stood up and jumped off the back end of Vixon.

Bigfoot gave Annabelle the note and said in his voice "Here is your clue"

5th Clue: Your going to England, there you should find Pinoccio waiting, to help you learn more.

Annabelle fell asleep on big foot's head.

"Annabelle" Bigfoot said with great urge

"What what" gasped annabelle

"Were here I mean I see land" shrugged Bigfoot

Annabelle looked around she could see land to.

"Bigfoot can you run, I want to get there quickly!"

Bigfoot ran quicker, actually he got there in only 2 minutes after he started running.

"Hello Annabelle" Phinoccio said with that high and squeaky voice of his.

"Hiiiiiii?" questioned Annabelle

"Well we better get going I'm hungry."

Pinoccio's nose got longer.

"Well I guess I'm not hungry I just wanted to give you this." Pinoccio said. Your finally here, I love you honey I hope I see you soon. Love your Mother, Queen Angella Annabelle started to cry after seeing the note her mother had wrote.

"Annabelle honey say goodbye to Bigfoot and lets hurry along, we still have many miles to travel" Phinoccio said while scurrying ahead.

They traveled many miles before phinoccio decided to get on a train and head straight to the castle, quick to.

"So Annabelle do you want anything to eat while were here well on the train"

"No thanks, I just kind of miss violet" whimpered Annabelle

phinoccio went silent

"Were here" Phinoccio yelled shaking Annabelle

Annabelle had fallen asleep again and phinnoccio had to sit there watching her sleep.

"What were here, hurray" noticed Annabelle

Annabelle got off the train only to see three guards holding a sign that said Annabelle big and proud.

Annabelle walked over and said "I'm Annabelle"

The guards let out a gasp and exclaimed "Thank goodness we have been here for two days waiting for you, come with us"

Annabelle walked with the guards for what seemed like an hour before the guards nodded and said "Go on in, your mom and dad should be waiting"

Annabelle was so excited but at the same time really nervous, she walked in and her mom jumped up and ran over to Annabelle and gave her a hug.

"Honey I've missed you so much since we had to send you away" said queen Angela

"Well Why did you have to send me away" whined Annabelle

"We will tell you later, for now lets go see your room together"

The end

THE BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1) Do you know what the battle of lake erie is? well if you dont you should read this.

2)The Americans declared war on june 18 1812, they had had enough, they were going to fight the british for lake erie winning or not.

3)Americans verses British, over lake erie, on september 10th 1813.

4)The battle of lake erie was a big part of ohio history. If we hadn't won the british might rule lake erie right now.

5)The battle of lake erie was a navel engagement between british and american forces over this great lake. America declared war on june 18 1812 over Lake Erie.

BEFORE THE WAR For the american leader the goverment sent Oliver Hazard Perry to lake erie. When got there he immediatly hired several carpenters to build a fleet of ships for him. After a couple of months perry had nine ships, there were only two big and suitable flag ships the Niagara and the Lawrence. In early september 1813 the british flagship Detroit's construction was complete and ready for war along with six other brigs.

BEGINNIG OF THE WAR Oliver's flagship was the lawrence, the Lawrence would engage the Detroit, Barclays flagship the leader of the british. The Niagara would engage the queen charlotte, the british second largest ship. The Detroit fired the first shot, a twenty-four pounder that landed harmlessly near the lawrence. After a few minutes Another twenty-four pounder was shot, but this time hit the bulwarks of the Lawrence. The lawrence let her broadside go so a thirty-two pounder hit the british ships.

DURING THE WAR The niagara was holding back and going to the side, this move was Quistened many times but did not make any differnce. Three british ships all turned there broadsides toward the Lawrence and fired. By 2:30 the Lawrence was a floating wreck. Perry made a fateful decision, collecting four unwounded men perry brought down the flag, got on a rowboat and sailed over to the Niagara to finish the battle.

END OF THE BATTLE Luckily perry got to the niagara unhurt along with his five crew men. Oliver sent elliot the captain of the niagara off to help the smaller ships, while this was happenning Oliver was getting the niagara ready for war. Bareclay was injured along with all the other captains and first luitenets of all the british shps, which left the british with only poorly trained soilders to sail there ships. As the men saw the Niagara sailing toward them they all tried to turn there broadsides to to the niagara, the Detroit and the queen charlotte the british's strongest ships hit each other which made them useless. A few minutes after one the britishes four strongest ships surrendered one by one, the gun boats chippawa and little belt tried to get away but were captured by the scorpian and the trippe. This meant all the ships were captured and Oliver had won the battle.

RESULTS OF THE WAR Once perry had captured all the ships he wrote this now famous saying on the back of an envelope to the general, we have met the enemy and they are ours. Perrys fleet of just nine small outgunned ships had defeated a royal navy of six heavy vessels, this defeat was bringing the war of 1812 one step closer to ending. The Battle Of Lake Erie was proved to be one of the most telling battles of the war of 1812. This American victory secured control over lake erie, forcing the british to retreat upriver to canada.
