The cookie corrector 

Many people don't think about the little details, while making a batch of cookies. But the cookie corrector pays attention to every little one. If he finds out that something went wrong with your cookies, he must fix it if he wants to sleep at night. The cookie corrector has lots of rules to teach you that he believes everyone needs to follow to come out with amazing, blue ribbon worthy cookies!

So let's start!

Number one: If not sweet, it's not a treat! Everyone's cookies must be sweet or the cookie corrector will not approve. If there's no sugar then what's the point! Cookies were not invented to be healthy, they were made to be a special snack, on special occasions. So no yucky fruits or vegetables! Only sweet ones. Zucchinis, carrots, potatoes or squash will not do! Peaches, apples and pumpkins are good because they're sweet!

Number two: A special knife. The cookie corrector suggests that everyone have one knife for just making your cookies. A big, sharp one. But be careful and clean it everyday. 

Number three: Tie back your hair. Long hair no care just not apply for this situation. Nobody wants to eat a mouthful of hair. Tie it back, pin it up, put it in a hair net, just get it out of your cookies!

Number four: Doubling up? Make sure you cookies don't stick to one another. Put them on the tray spread apart from each other. Two separate warm cookies are awesome but two cookies stuck together, not as enjoyable. 

Number five: The pan! You need to have a non-stick pan! If not, it'll be a catastrophe! And I certainly don't want to see tears when you can't get your cookies off the tray! You can't just slap them on there in hopes that they'll come off. And if you see this, don't just be a spectator, yell at them saying that you want your cookies now! Well, nicely. ;)

Number six: Beverages! Probably something warm, never cold. Hot chocolate, tea, coffee, warm milk. Anything warm and sweet is just fine!

Number seven: Dippings? Only if, and only if you can find something good to dip your cookies in then go ahead. But no spaghetti sauce, no ranch dressing and no hot cheese! But warm chocolate, cool pudding and milk are definitely better options!

Number eight: Shapes! It's fun to cut your cookies into shapes! For special occasions and holidays is especially festive! You can just catch that cookie in a baseball mitt and roll it up in a "traditional" ball. But traditional is boring. You have to have fun with your cookies! 

These messages are brought to you by, the cookie corrector! For all your failing cookie needs!

You

Are Never Too Short

December 21st

Well wanted to start my JOURNAL off with a something that happened today, and I have a feeling that today is just the beginning. But first let me tell you about myself, my name is Leo Stalton. I am a 10 year old and I go to Mallorow Elementary School. Okay so here it goes. So today Miss Jawsomme (my teacher) was having regular morning, with regular kids, and regular assignments to mark. She is a pretty small person like 4'5. I'm 5'3, some people in my class are kind of mean to her and make jokes about her height. I don't, there is no problem with being short. Anyways, this afternoon it wasn't so regular as I would have thought. After lunch I come into the classroom and there was papers scattered everywhere. I asked her what all of these paper were doing on the floor, then she came very slowly to me, huffing and puffing and stood there.............. Then she came close to my ear and said " someone CHEATED and made a picture of me" I said "well that's nice right"? She showed me the picture and it just said this is how small you are just words no picture. Okay, that's just plain mean .Beginning to start and huff and puff

again she angrily stormed off to the principals office. It's not that big of a deal. It all just happened really fast, weird? Anyways, I was so petrified at what happened but I had to find out why she would be so mad. She was a very nice teacher actually one of my favourites. I couldn't just leave her alone like this. So I tip toed behind her, and just as she touched the door knob to the office she looked up, down, right, left, behind her. When she saw no one she kept walking so silently so the science lab. She looked in the room no one was in there either so she locked the door and put curtains up all over the windows, including the door window. That didn't stop me, no....... I was going to go through the vent. I have been here for 6 years, I could tell you where everything is by heart. So I grabbed a chair and stepped on it so lightly so that you couldn't hear a creak. I was just about to open the vent when the PA system went on saying "Leo Stalton please report to Room 6, Leo Stalton please report to Room 6". We had math, I really didn't care. I started again to reach for the vent so very still like. I opened it and went in. I closed it back up so no one would notice me in here. I think someone could have noticed me I was like an elephant in there. It wasn't my fault, it was the vents fault, it was creaking every time I moved. Anyways, I could hear Miss Jawsomme pacing around the room. I heard her stop! I came to a halt stop and scraped my knee severely. I was hoping she didn't hear me in here because if she did, I was going to be dead! I tried to keep moving slowly but my knee hurt to much. I heard Miss Jawsomme walk over and grab a glass something, but I could make out what it was? I could also hear her drinking something. I was hope it was a valid drink and not one of the science projects? That would be a big catastrophe! I finally reached the end of the vent to the science room, and no sign of Miss Jawsomme. "Wait? No, What? She was," so I climbed through the vent for nothing. "Well that's was a waste of time". Nevermind, I don't get it she was here a minute ago? I look up and I see this huge woman at the door. I'm surprised how tall she is, I can't believe I didn't hear or see her like 2 minutes ago!

I realize that it's Miss. Jawsomme. She had been turned into a big big human being. I kept asking her "Miss Jawsomme, Miss Jawsomme are you okay? She didn't give me a very clear answer. I didn't know what to do like she wasn't that tall, but she was like 8'11. She walked over to me, then started running over to me with her fist out I screamed " Ahhhhhhhh"!!!!!

She rode her horse across the whole field, it took her 3 long hours of horse riding to finally be in the valley of Margine where Dave lived. As soon as she got there she ran off her horse and greeted him with a hug. He realized a scrape on her arm, and scrapes on her legs. Dave invited her in to get her cleaned up. They went back outside and shared the food Maria brought them. "After we're all done eating do you want me to teach you how to ride a horse the proper way?" Dave asked.

The Catastrophe

It was Sunday afternoon, around noon. I was watering my peach tree when my heart stopped. I fell to my knees praying to god I would live. I woke up in the hospital with my granddaughter, she was short, skinny and loved crafts. She reached for my hand, she said "I love you grandma" , I said " I love you too dear " . A few days later I went home but this time it was different, I had a defibrillator strapped on my chest. I try to breath and instead of a clean fresh breath I get a cold painful inhale. I also have a necklace, not just any necklace a necklace that if you press the center, it calls an advisor to your house to help you. (exp. if you fall and can't get up you press the center)

I have trouble sleeping the first few nights thinking about that day, the day that changed my life forever, I have no control of my body now,
it makes me feel like I'm floating in space. When the morning comes I feel not worse but better, I feel truly alive finally I can teach my grade 7 class again. A few mounts went by and I went back to school (teaching). My class said hello, and we missed you but I didn't believe it for one bit. My class disliked me, the only person who would take a seat next to me was little Johnny Daniel. He LOVED
me he always had and that warmed my heart. When I walked through the door he handed me a piece of toast, it tasted delicious. "Johnny said here Mrs. Luanne I missed you" I said "I missed you too". The school has this charity found raiser every year, usually they have some games and 3 foot races, but this time was different there were no kids around. Only men in business suits, was this a trap to get me to retire, or will I be forced to make my escape...

The First Day

Today was my first day teaching at Torch school in Winnipeg Manitoba, I was very excited and very nervous. On my way to my first day of teaching I had to stop at the store, I forgot to bring a lunch! At the store there were many different food choices. I decided on tacos, I payed for my items and continued my route to school.

When I arrived to Torch school I made my way to my classroom where very impatient children sat or ran around. I placed my coat on my newly bought coat rack and said " attention class please take your seats." They didn't listen so I was shouting a little bit and they still did not listen. It was complete chaos! I finally got them to sit down and listen" hello class my name is Miss. Traps, today we are learning about the alphabet!" "I hate the alphabet!" a child yelled. " my mom taut me this already!" another child yelled. Everyone started yelling, my first day of teaching was a catastrophe. I have children crying, screaming, talking, some were even jumping off of tables and catching each other! I had no control at all over the students I just broke down and cried! When I thought this couldn't get any worse the principal walked in wearing a cape, he said "Miss Traps control you class!" Im trying they just won't listen to me!" I said, the principal left and I was just done by now! As I sat and cried the children quieted down. I slowly looked up and there they sat patiently. I stood up and said "ok let's try some writing." some sighed but still sat patiently. "Ok I will hand out paper and I want you to try writing two sentences about what you want this year to be. It could be good, happy, or really anything you want." The children started writing and I started thinking this could be ok, they might actually like me. The lunch bell went and the students darted out of the classroom, I picked up the papers and headed to lunch.

Walking down the hallways I found out that not just my students we're misbehaving. Children were pushing and screaming it was hard but I made it to the "Torch School" staff room. In the staff room teachers sat and ate I new most of them already I walked up to Miss Barret otherwise known as Stacy. "Hello Stacy how is your first day going?" I asked " Fine Jessie (my first name) yours?" Stacy asked "If started out bad but turned out good!" I replied "that's good!" Stacy said. I walk away to the toaster to toast my taco they taste better that way! 

I enjoyed my lunch with Miss Barret then I returned to my classroom, there the children screamed and threw paper airplanes. I tried to calm them down but it wasn't working then all of a sudden my classroom neighbour Mr. Steven said " Jessie why is there a child drawing on my door!" "What oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" I ran outside the door and there sat Jake one of my students drawing on THE DOOR! " JAKE OFFICE NOW!" I said I went inside and had a talk with the kids. "Ok you guys it's my first day. It's my first time teaching. Look, growing up I was crazy like you I drove teachers crazy, now I realize it's not nice to do. You guys don't know how much work I put into these lessons and this classroom decor, I just want some respect!" They all stopped. Ok then let's continue this mornings work. They worked fine and some actually said sorry. I continued the day and it was fine.

The months went on and it was good, all the students were passing and have a great time in class. I have had so much fun working with these students! Something that I thought was going to be horrible turned out to be great! 

Sadie's Story

"Can I keep him mom? Please?" Maya Roth asked her mother.

"Maya it's a stray cat, and you found it in the back lane!"
Maya squeezed the cat in her arms, and put a pouty look on her round face.

"Where is it going to sleep?"
The short child pondered for a minute."He can share a room with me!"

Maya squealed excitedly.
"How are you going to teach him to stay there, and to not go into my room?"

Her mother asked, silently hoping that her daughter wouldn't have an answer and she could get rid of the stray.

"I can teach him! Every time he learns to do something or not to do something I can give him a treat! That will make him learn! And when he does something bad, I'll squirt water at him with a spray bottle!

As maya was trying to reason with her mom, the cat jumped out of Maya's arms and ran to the kitchen.

"get it out of my kitchen now!" Maya bolted to the kitchen, like a horse trying to win a race. She heard a clashing sound, like someone just dropped glass on the ground. Her feet slipped and scraped on the floors tiles. As she ran in the kitchen, she couldn't see the cat. But she immediately noticed the table cloth on the floor, torn to shreds. She looked all around. There where broken plates and glasses scattered across the room. She tiptoed her way around the room, trying to not step in the shards of broken glass. She heard a faint sound, coming from the stove. Maya was shocked at what she saw.

There was the cat, sitting there unharmed, gnawing on a piece of the table cloth. She started to make her way to him and when she got close enough to reach him, she stuck of her arms and he jumped in to them. As he jumped, a pan fell from the stove and landed with a loud. Carefully, trying not to step in the glass or drop the cat, she got out of the kitchen and saw her mother quickly making her way to her daughter. "Are you alright? I heard a loud crash!"
" I'm okay, but the kitchen is a mess!" Maya's mother rushed to her kitchen. She gasped at the sight before her.

"So you risked getting glass in you feet, and possibly your head for a cat!?" Her mother exclaimed, still in a shocked state of mind at the sight of her kitchen.

"Yes I did! That proves how much I love him and it proves how much I want to keep him!"

"Get that cat out of my sight! Now!"
With her shoulder slumped, and a frown on her face, maya slowly trudged up to her room, with the cat still in her arms.

Then, just at that moment, an idea popped into Maya's mind. One that she knew would work. It just had to. A smile blossomed on her face, as she ran up the stairs, her light brown hair whipping behind her. She put on her best cutie face, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"Daddy!"

PARTY TROUBLE 

It was 8:00am in Canada. There was a 14 year old girl named Peach. She loves drawing and loves animals, but she's half of a trouble maker. " Peach wake up," said her mother. Hope Collon is her mothers name. She teaches 5 year olds at Mill Elementary. After Peach was done brushing her teeth, she ran down stairs and ate her breakfast. When her mother walked in, she started talking about her job. Peach was so broad until her mother said, she won't be here this Saturday, so that means Peach is going to be home alone for one day. " So you won't be here," said Peach with an evil smile. Her mother shock her head yes and left. Peach just remembered that Saturday is tomorrow. Peach had a really evil plan.  She grabbed the phone and an batch of cookies,she was going to phone her friend about her little evil plan while she's eating." Becky Guess what, my mom won't be here for one day, I'm going to throw an awesome party, want to come," said Peach hoping her mother won't find out. " Sure I would love to come," said Becky. When she was talking on the phone, she heard footsteps, she closed the phone without even saying bye. She saw her mother but all she was going downstairs to do the laundry. After her mother left, Peach started to flip to her phonebook to see who else she should call. After flipping a few pages, she found her best.. best friend Maya, but there's no chances to call her because they have been apart from each other for two years. After hours past it was Saturday, Peach couldn't wait to start the party. After her mother kissed her on the head and said bye, Peach rushed to the kitchen and stared to get the food ready. She grabbed something sharp out of the drawer and started chopping the chicken. Peach was really busy chopping, then all of the sudden she heard the door bell ring she knew it was the guest. She couldn't believe that they came thirty minutes early, I guess they really want to party. She put away away the knife and ran to the door. Before she was going to open the door she was wishing that her mom won't find out. She opened the door, and every body just rushed in. After everybody came in and started to dance to the music, peach was going to start to chop the chicken again, while she was chopping she was also moving her head to look for Becky. She was done chopping and throw the knife in the sink and walked into the living room. She placed the chicken on the table and saw Becky talking to her crush, " I hope she doesn't mess up," said Peach whispering to her self. After like ten seconds passed this random kid asked to veggie ranch. I was thinking who he was, is he in our school? I stared at him just to recognize who he is, but I just gave up and went to the kitchen to grab the veggie ranch. I opened the the fridge and grabbed the ranch. I heard this old sound coming from the living room, I ran to check it out, everybody was going crazy, I had no idea what to do. " stop it, stop you guys are breaking everything," said peach looking worried. Nobody heard me. " hey girl look up', said a voice from behind me. When I looked up I saw this vase coming to me. I better catch this vase cause its really expensive. The vase was coming closer, I jumped into the air and caught it. I put the vase in the kitchen so nobody could break it. This is the biggest catastrophe I ever seen. Tears stared to come out of my eyes. I wish I never stared this party in the first place.  There were spectators in the back round, why will they just stand there and watch. After like a few seconds passed I heard the door opening, I think it's my mom. I don't know why the half of me is happy and worried. When mom opened the door she stared to call my name, I have a feeling she's going to ground me. I walked over to her, and she looked so mad. " where is all the noise coming from," said my mother. I never seen her this mad. I had to tell,         Anyway she's going to find out. " I throw a big party that went out really bad." Her face was turning out red like a tomato. She rushed to the living room, and told everyone to get out. I can't believe she's yelling at my best friends. When everyone left it got really awkward with my mom. She told me to sit down at the couch, I have a feeling she's going to say a big long speech, and I was right. I was waiting until part she says I'm grounded. I was shocked she said I'm grounded for three weeks. Oh what ever I'm just glad that the party is over. I ran to my bedroom and closed my door. Any second now my mom will yell my name out, which she did. I think she saw the mess. I know I'll have to clean it up, I'll also be getting a baby sitter. At least the party is over.
