Mrs. Tueller's SFA class WRITES!

Trip to Utah


By Cavin Pukahi

My trip was nice. The thing that was horrible
was that we had to fly to L.A. There we had to stay
for 4 hours. We missed 2 of them so we waited
outside for a hotel shuttle.

We were going to the Hilton LAX. It was a nice
hotel. We were on floor 14, room 1469. For
breakfast, we had Carl’s Junior. Our flight back was
delayed and we had to wait 3 hours to come back.

The snow was beautiful when it fell.



The Three Cowboys

By Eli Chamberlain

One day a cowboy was in his tent, waiting for his team. His name was Crusher. So Crusher went outside to see if his team was just talking out there, but they weren’t. They were hanging on a cliff, stuck down into the forest.
He called, “Guys?”
They didn’t answer but he saw them and they saw him. Crusher reached for their hands but they fell down into the foggy air. An eagle came swooping down, caught them, and put them on the ground.
One of the guys’ names was Crackler. The other one’s name was Mate. Crackler was a ninja. Mate was a pirate.
The next day, Crusher was in his tent with a tiger. With a tiger?!
“Wow,” said Crusher, “a tiger!”
He woke everybody up. Crackler took out his sword and sliced the tiger in half.
“There,” Crackler said.
“Let’s go outside,” said Mate.
So they went outside. They found a super-ultra-mega golden sword. It turned into three swords so they split them up so that each person had a sword.
“Tomorrow is war,” Mate said.
“We need to get our weapons ready,” said Crusher.
So they put their swords in their sword holders and their guns and swords in their backpacks and got ready for war.
The next day, they were at war. They got their bazookas out. POW! BOOM! CHOW! They shot and threw. KABOOM! They threw their grenades. BOOOOM!
They got Rager the buffalo and it ran into so many guys and they all DIED.
“Wow,” Mate said.
“Awesome,” Crackler said.
“Cool,” Crusher said, “that was the best war.”
“’Cause that was our first war,” said Mate.
“Duh,” said Crackler.
“Now what are we gonna do?” said Mate.
“We are gonna go to the…the…the…beach!” said Crusher.
“Okay,” said Crackler.
“Let’s go,” said Mate.
So they brought their boat.
“Let’s bring a tent,” said Crackler.
So they were at the beach, setting up camp. Once they were done, they went way, way out to another island. On the way, they saw sharks and all kinds of fish. They put their anchor down and jumped in the water.


Motorcycles

By Mamoe Manumaleuna

Chapter 1

For my birthday, I wanted a motorcycle. I wanted it to be a red Honda. I got a green KDX 50 for Christmas. When my Mom and Dad went to town, they put my green motorcycle in back of my Mom’s car. They sold my motorcycle. When I called them, they said they sold my green motorcycle to get a bigger one for me because the green motorcycle was too little.

When I was talking to my Mom, she said, “When Dad’s on his way home from work, he can go look for another motorcycle.”
But when they came home from town, I asked them if they had my new motorcycle.

My Mom said, “No.”

I was sad.

My Mom said, “Go get the baby car seat.”

When I went to go get the baby car seat, I saw my new red Honda motorcycle.

Chapter 2

My Dad’s motorcycle is a Honda 150. His bike has 4 gears. His can go faster than mine. His can do a pop-a-wheelie. It is cool. He can go up in the air and do tricks. His motorcycle is heavy. It is red and white just like mine.

On my Dad’s motorcycle you cannot stay on one gear but on mine you can stay on one gear. If you stay on one gear on my Dad’s bike you might die out and you have to start it again. If you go in the sand it is hard to switch gears.
My Dad’s motorcycle can go faster than a car and mine can go faster than a car too.

My Dad got his motorcycle when he was coming home from work. His friend called him and said, “You want this motorcycle for $150?

“Yeah, sure” my Dad said.

So he said he would go pick it up after his work.

Chapter 3
Me and my Dad go riding in the front Cricket Field and the back Cricket Field. We go up in the mountain. The hills are steep. I can climb the hill.

One time when me and my dad went riding in the mountains, I ran out of gas. So I had to walk my motorcycle all the way home.


Chapter 4
I like to ride my motorcycle at Cricket Field. My cousins wanted me to pack them on my motorcycle. Their parents said no, so they got mad at me. I rode away on my motorcycle.

When I came back, my cousins asked their parents, “Can MJ pack me?”

They said, “Okay.”

So I took them to ride around Cricket Field two times. I was running out of gas so I had to ride my motorcycle home and grab the big gas tank.




Buttercup

By Olivia Tueller

Once upon a time there was a girl named Buttercup. She lived in Fairy Land. She had a friend named Lucy. She and Lucy owned a store. It was called Buttercup’s Wardrobe. One time a robber destroyed Buttercup’s store.
All the dresses were ruined! Everything! Lucy’s little sister’s dress was ruined, and Buttercup’s little sister’s dress was ruined, too.

They had to find a way to find the robber.

“Maybe it was Blueberry Black!” said Lucy.

They knocked on Blueberry Black’s door. They asked her if she had stolen and messed up their dresses. But Blueberry Black was sneaky.

She said, “Children, children, come sit by the fire with me.”

But then she caught them in her arms. Finally they were able to get out of Blueberry Black’s arms. Then Blueberry Black promised that she would fix the dresses and sew them back. Everybody cheered. Buttercup’s Wardrobe was put back together. Everybody was rushing inside Buttercup’s store.

“Back as usual,” said Buttercup.

The End.

SCHOOL

THANK YOU to all those who came and supported my sister in our bake sale on Friday!  It was such a healing process for me because I was overwhelmed by the love and support of our community.  From the small donations to the large donations, they ALL made a difference!  I can't thank all of you enough, and my sister sends her gratitude as well.  Laie is such a special place, and that is because of people like YOU!  Thank you.

-Mrs. Elkington

Display Case

Last year, a plaster replica of the Hamana Kalili bust was donated to the school.  This is a duplicate of the bronze sculpture that is on display in the BYU-H library.  It was done by Avard Fairbanks, the same artist who sculpted the friezes on the Hawaii temple. Hamana Kalili is the man who is given credit for initiating the "shaka" sign - he is one of Laie's sons.  Due to the nature of this particular bust - it is plaster - it has not been displayed yet due to the ease in which it could be damaged. Even putting it in the library poses a risk - even a paper clip could do damage. We are looking for a volunteer to make a simple display case for the sculpture, so the kids can actually view this treasure.   If you or someone you know is able to help on this project, please contact Emily Bradshaw at bradshaw.e@gmail.com or call Ann Alisa at 227-2043.

Miracle Swimming or Teen/Adult with Fear in Water swimming classes: Kyndra Smith is now a certified Miracle Swimming Instructor. This course is specifically designed to heal fear of water for the teen and adult swimmer. Did you know that 32% of adults are afraid to put their heads under water? 46% of American adults are afraid in water over their heads in pools and 64% are afraid in deep, open water. (Gallup Poll, 1998) If they’re afraid, they don’t understand how the water works. They often can’t keep themselves from panicking in unforeseen situations. The Miracle Swimming system, a true paradigm shift in teaching, and works for everyone. Comfort and control are taught first. Without this knowledge, learning to swim comfortably and remain at ease in deep water are impossible. You can learn to swim the same way you learned to walk. It can't possibly fail: all your questions are answered and no steps are skipped. The system is gentle, fun, and simple. Heal fear instead of managing it!

For more information on the Miracle Swimming techniquie please visit this website.  Kyndra has been teaching and using this tecnique for the past 5 years and has completed her training and certificaiton with this program this past year.  We are ready now to bring these classes to Gunstock Aquatics.  If you know an adult who would like to heal their fear in water ,please check out THIS website and contact us for a class.

COMMUNITY

Keiki Injury Prevention Coalition (KIPC) On January 1, 2007 a law went into effect requiring children between the ages of four through seven to ride in a booster seat whenever traveling in a motor vehicle. 

The only exemptions are if the child is over 4'9" or if the vehicle has lap-only seat belts in the rear seat. 

The driver is held responsible for compliance with the law. Violators of Hawaii’s Child Passenger 

Restraint Law are required to attend a 4-hour class and may be assessed a fine between $100-$500, depending upon the number of offenses. A Hawaii State tax credit of $25 per year applies to the 

purchase of a booster or child safety seat. For more information and basic guidelines on the proper use of booster seats, as well as times and locations for carseat checks, please visit http://www.kipchawaii.org/SafetyFacts/TrafficSafety/keikisafety.aspx
