At the end of my road is my favorite place. I see rippling water and trees and stones, and birds rustling the trees. Most of the time nobody is there. I love that. When I get to the creek I pick up gray stones. I smell flowers and fresh air. There, I feel calm, relaxed and safe.

My favorite place when I go home is the coyote farm. I work there and when I go there my parents say, “Be careful.” The farm is in back of my house and I can see it from my bedroom window. I feed the coyotes and I milk the cows, but I can’t drink the milk because I am lactose intolerant. When I’m in my bedroom, I can hear the coyotes howl, “AHOOOOO” they say. Their songs help me fall asleep at night.

My favorite place is The Bowl-O-Drome. It is by Sonny’s store and an old road. I see some people and some bowling balls and some pins. I hear a fan and people talking, and bowling balls rolling. I smell some pizza in the kitchen area and it is free! I feel our team the Eagles can eliminate the other team as long as I don’t get a gutter ball. I like to bowl there and get strikes.

My favorite place is Treman Park. It is out of town next to a highway. You can’t hear the highway when you are in the park. I can hear birds chirping and water rushing. At night I hear crickets chirping. I feel the wind in my hair. I see trees and plants. I like to catch newts and crayfish. In the early morning, or after it rains, I hunt for them. They are out disguising themselves. I like Treman Park because I can be where there is nature.

My favorite place is the library in my school. It is upstairs and to the left. It has the greatest books both new and old. The old smell like dust. And the books are great to read. My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. When I’m there I hear talking and reading when kids read aloud. I see books that are cool and good to read and I see some cool computers. I’m hapy there. It is a great, great library! I like it so much I could go there at least every day. It is open every day there is school. This library is so cool, especially when the librarian teaches us about authos and books. I read by the window and I can see the play ground. It is so sweet there!

My favorite place is my best friend’s house. We sometimes play songs from the Naked Brothers Band. I play the piano. He plays the drums. We like to sing along. We like the song “Crazy Car.” It’s a really cool song. We really would like to be a rock band. We also like playing with toys. At his house he has cars, trucks, and his Xbox. We play race cars. I like it there the most because my best friend is there.

My favorite place is the Tompkins County Library. When I get bored I ask if I can go to the Tompkins County Library and my mom usually says yes. So, my mom and I go to the library downtown. When I go in, I hear the librarian checking out books. BEEP, BEEP goes the scanner while my mom is returning our books. I go to the kids’ section. It is on the right side so when I go in I go to my favorite place in the library. It is a place where I like to be because when I’m there I hear people choosing books off shelves. It is a wonderful place to be when you want to read and when you need quiet time. In the winter it is so good and cozy there you could take a nap.

My favorite place is my dojo. I go there to be taught karate. It is near my house. It is next to the car shop. I hear, “Yaa!” If you scream into your opponent’s face, they’ll think you are crazy. If they think you are crazy, they will back off. When I am there I feel confident. I like to do karate there.

My favorite place is my room. It is upstairs in my house. I like to play Legos in my room. Every time I go into my room I see my bunk beds and my stuffed animals. I smell what my mom is cooking downstairs; usually whatever we are having for dinner. I hear my mom and my dad talking about their day downstairs. I feel happy in my room.

My favorite place is Taughannock Falls. We see animals and trees there. We hear birds chirping and frogs croaking, leaves rustling, and water rushing. I smell catfish swishing in the water. Herons soar above my head. Turtles scramble onto land. Taughannock Falls is a nice place.

My favorite place is Jason’s house. His house is way out in the country. I hear the wind rustling the trees and the birds chirping when I get out of Jason’s car. It is a beautiful sound. I can smell the gluey pine cones and the pollen from flowers. I see beautiful flowers and bushes, trees, and houses. I love the scent of the flowers. I feel really happy to be there. I like to roast marshmallows over a bonfire. We roast them in the afternoon. They are yummy.

My favorite place is at my grampa’s house. It’s between my house and my neighbor’s house so it’s easy to walk to. I can see the TV and lemon cookies. My grampa gives me cookies when I come to his house. I hear the TV characters and my grampa snore. I can smell my dog’s hair. I’m very happy at my grampa’s house because I can watch TV and eat lemon cookies.

My favorite place is my porch. When I’m on my porch, I like to sit on the couch and watch the sunset. I smell my hamburger dinner. When I’m on the dark pink couch with swirls and roses, I feel very peaceful. I see a lot of phone wires and squirrels dashing along. And I hear tons of crickets, “chirp-chirp, chirp-chirp.” On my porch it’s really, really peaceful.
