About the Book

This book is a collection of our creative writing from our year in fifth grade. Some of the essays we wrote are about what our lives will be like in twenty years. We also wrote about a new holiday we would like to create, and some of us included a magical tale about a toy we would like to bring to life. In honor of West Virginia's and the nation's longest serving senator, Robert Byrd, we wrote essays about what we will do for our country if we ever serve in public office. Do you like adventure stories that leave you on the edge of your seat? Yes, we wrote those, too! You can also read about our class social studies fair project on the artifact in our school's library. Have fun reading our unique stories and essays!
