Classic, Captivating Collections!

Recently we read a story in class called "The Talking Cloth." In the story a special character, Aunt Phoebe, was called a "collector of life."
Many of us have collections too.
Please enjoy reading about them.



*****



Leanne's Littlest Pet Shop Collection
My collection is a Littlest Pet Shop collection. It is a very small collection. They are very small pets. I like the one that is a bunny, and I named it Lala. The bunny was named after me. Sometimes I get a paper napkin and cut out tiny clothes for all of the Littlest Pet Shops. I have about 30 Littlest Pet Shops. Every time somebody comes to have a play date with me, they ask to have one! Then I say no because they are all special to me. My littlest pet shops are really special because I’ve been collecting them since I was in kindergarten. I’m wishing to have 46 littlest pet shops soon.

Marisa's Duck Collection
I have a duck collection. Sometimes I play with my ducks, or I put the ducks in sequence tallest to smallest. I like to look at the ducks’ clothes. My grandpa gives the ducks to me on a special occasion, or he gives the ducks to me just for fun. My grandpa orders the ducks in the mail. I love my colorful duck collection!
By Marisa

Liam's Lego Collection

My collection is a lego collection. My favorite lego is the firehouse. I like the firehouse the most because I enjoyed building it the most. I treasure my legos because it was hard to build them. I keep my legos on a shelf in my room. My first one I got was like a blue tank. The last one I bought was a lego agent. One of my legos reminds me of my grandpa. The lego that reminds me of my grandpa is a construction builder. The construction builder is from my grandpa too! I love to build with my exciting lego collection.

Roxana's Eraser Collection

My eraser collection is amazing. The one I love best is my basketball eraser. My cousin, Saba, showed me where to get the erasers. The erasers work very well because they erase all the marks. I’m so happy now because I love my eraser collection!!
By Roxana

Brandon's Japanese Eraser Collection

My Japanese eraser collection is interesting to me. I like my Japanese erasers because I can take them apart. I first heard about them about one year ago, so a month later I started buying them. When I buy Japanese erasers, I get them at Card Sharks. I have about 25 of them at my house. My favorite is the green frog one. I love collecting Japanese erasers!
By Brandon

Evan's Pokemon Collection



My collection is about Poke’mon cards. In the middle is my Nintendo D.S., and it is playing a Poke’mon Pearl version on D.S. My favorite Poke’mon is Mew. I like Mew because it is the ancestor of all Poke’mon and can transform into all Poke’mon like Ditto. Ditto looks like a glob of D.N.A. I have too many Poke’mon cards to handle. I have a eye – splitting Poke’mon collection!
By, Evan

Cameron's Skateboard Collection

My skateboard collection is awesome. I even made one of them in enrichment class. First, I drew a picture on a sheet of paper. Second, I painted lots of different colors, like red or yellow on the wooden board. The one on the right is my favorite. It’s amazing how all the skateboards go fast. It’s very fun doing an olly, which is a trick where you push on the back and make all the wheels come off the ground. Then you’re airborne! I can’t wait until I get another cool skateboard.
By Cameron

Ethan's Glass Animal Collection

My collection is of glass animals. I have been collecting them for 8 years. One of the glass animals is not in the picture. It is my green, mean shark. My favorite is a very scary porcupine, which is in the middle of the back row. I love my collection because I think it’s awesome that I have so many.
By Ethan

Carson's Basketball Jerseys

I have an awesome collection of jerseys. Seven are pictured here, but there are more! Some jerseys that I have are: Ladanian Tomlinson, Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Baron Davis! I like my jerseys because the players on them are the players I love to watch! Having the jerseys is as amazing as if I really met anyone of the players! The other players that I didn’t mention are: Andre Ethier, Rafael Furcal, Matt Kemp, and Manny Ramirez. I really appreciate having my jerseys!
By Carson

Sara's Rock Collection

I have had my rock collection for 5 years. My first rock is the tiniest rock I have, and it is the blue rock. I got my first rock at Aquarium of the Pacific when I was only 4 years old. I was looking at the seals, and I got splashed with water. My head was down, and suddenly I found my first rock! At that moment I decided to collect rocks. I couldn’t wait to find more rocks. Now, I have around 20 of them.
By Sara

Jack's Baseball Card Collection


I have a baseball card collection. I collect all sorts of baseball cards. I trade cards with friends like Carson, Eli, and my cousin Ben. I love baseball so much! Collecting baseball cards is the best thing that I have ever done! My favorite cards are Mickie Mantle, Sammy Sosa, and Babe Ruth! I love my baseball cards!!
By Jack







*****





Sam's Pokemon Collection


For the past three years have I collected Pokemon cards. I love Pokemon cards because they’re fun to battle with. Some are in 3D. Now I am 8 years old, and I have about 1,000Pokemon cards. Collecting Pokemon cards is the best thing for me to do.

  1. Dear Mrs.Ranney,

    I think all the collections are interesting. The most interesting to me, is Cameron's collelection of skateboards. I like the skateboard with the skull on it. One little piece of information I didn't put in my paragraph is my grandma gets me all different kinds of glass animals from different countries. See you tomorrow.

    Sincerely,
    Ethan

  2. Dear Mrs. Ranney,

    I think all the collections are very creative. I like Sara's rock collection because some are big and some are small. I also like Carson's basketball jersey collection because there are so many different kinds of jersey's. Ethan's collection is amazing because of all the colorful glass animals. Brandon's Japanese eraser collection is excellent because you can rip all of the erasers apart then put them back together.

  4. Dear Mrs. Ranney,

    I love all of the collections that your class has made. First, I have most of the Japanese erasers that Brandon has. Second, I have his favorite eraser, the green frog. I also love Ethan's glass animal collection. They would be very fun to have, but I think that my brothers would break them. I also love Sara's colection of the rocks. I love the diffrent colors. My favorite rock was the biggest one and my second favorite one is the purple rock.

    I love your blog. It is so cool to read all the comments that a lot of your class have made, including my brother Cameron. The skateboard on the top of the picture is my dad's which is the green one. I love your class website/blog.

    Sincerely,

  7. Dear Carson,

    I like your paragraph the most because you have a lot of talented basketball players. The most interesting one to me is the Magic Johnnson jersey. My second favorite is the Dwane Wade jersey. I noticed that there is a football jersey in the picture. Did you put it in on purpose or no not on purpose?
    You are the best!

  11. Dear Mrs. Ranney,

    First, I really like Marisa's collection because all of the ducks have different colors on them. I bet it's so fun collecting the ducks because you can see all the different things on the colorful ducks.

    Second, I also like Leanne's collection because of all the different Littlest Pet Shop animals like the cats and dogs. I also like how they come in different sizes.

    I think Liam's collection is amazing! Liam, is it fun building legos? I have some legos too. Liam, can you move or do anything with your legos?

  12. Dear Brandon,

    I admire Brandon's collection of Japanese erasers. I think it's magnificent that you have so many. I have two questions for you. How many will you have in all, if you get 100 more? What is your second favorite? I have something about my paragraph. I forgot I had more glass animals in a spot in my room. See you.

    Your student,
    Ethan

  18. Dear Mrs. Ranney,

    I had so much fun looking at all of the collections, all of the class should be very proud of themselves. I especially enjoyed the collections of Liam and Marisa.

    I think it is so wonderful when a family member is involved in helping with the collection, it makes it even more special. Jack was given some of his baseball cards by his grandpa.

    Sincerely,

    Mrs Simons

  19. Dear Mrs. Ranney,
    Thank you for sharing your classroom blog with me. I liked the most recent post of your students' various collections. My favorite collection was the japanese eraser collection. When I was a kid, I collected pencils, erasers, notepads, and other stationary items from Sanrio. I love how cute japanese things are. Now, I collect things for my son, Ezra. He has a lot of Thomas the Tank Engines and loves bringing them to the pool, the beach, and even in the bath tub when he's not playing with them on the track. I look forward to reading your next post. Keep up the good work!

Second, I also like Liam's collection because you can build all kinds of different big and colorful legos. Third, Marisa's collection is awesome because there are so many different ducks and colors. Fourth, Carson's collection is amazing because he has all kinds of jerseys.

    I hope every person in our class makes a collection.

  24. Dear Mrs. Ranney,
    I am very impressed with all of the wonderful collections. I liked Marisa's duck collection because all of the ducks were dressed differently. I noticed that they're arranged in a square array that is 5 by 5. I liked the duck with spiked hair the most.

  25. Dear Roxana,

    We were very surprised with all the fascinating erasers you had. Athena and I were especially amazed by those keyboard erasers. We liked how you arranged them into groups and some of them overlapping each other. This collection was interesting because we too have an eraser collection and some of the erasers were the same as ours. Athena and I really enjoyed your collection and your paragraph.

    Thank you for sharing your eraser collection!

    Sincerely,
    Shana and Athena
