Folk Medicine

Folk medicine has been handed down through generations just to help people with their injures. I am going to be writing details I learned through,’’ Medicine Past and Present, ’’ The Bridge Dancers,’’ and, ’’ New Doctor. ’’ I am going to tell you what I learned through these stories. These stories are all about folk medicine and how it helps people. These stories will tell you all about folk medicine and why it is important.

Past and Present

One thing I learned about folk medicine from this story is that ancient Egyptians used moldy bread for wounds. Another thing I learned is that chewing willow tree bark will help give away pain. The last thing I learned is that the Chinese used herbal treatments to help illness.

The Bridge Dancers

One thing I learned was that tansy could keep bugs away and it could help give birth to babies. The second thing I learned was that yellow-eyed daisies could help injures and poultice is made out of yellow-eyed daisies. The last thing I learned is that an herb medicine is a type of medicine that could save people before they become fatal.

The New Doctor

One thing I learned is that red liquid could be God’s blood or it could be tomato juice. Another thing I learned about folk medicine is that one way to stay healthy is to eat green leaves mixed with meat or beans. The last thing I learned from this story is that calabasilla leaves could keep bugs away and it could help injures.

Folk medicine was used thousands of years ago and some people still use it. Folk medicine is in, ’’ Medicine Past and Present’’ The Bridge Dancers’’ and ’’ New Doctor.’’ These stories helped me write this article. After you read my story you will know as much as I do that folk medicine is very important in the world and people will use it for thousands of years. This is my article.

Scientific Medicine

By: Gabriella

Scientific medicine has been around for years just to help the people who need this cure. I am telling you what I learned through the stories,’’ Past and Present’ ‘ Sewed up his Heart’ and ‘ New Doctor.’ These three stories will tell you all about scientific medicine and how it helps people.

Past and Present

One thing I learned about scientific medicine from this story is that the Black Plague could be destroyed by scientific medicine. Another thing I learned is that scientific medicine could help people by saving their lives, Getting rid of coughs, cold, and a whole lot of other stuff. The last thing I learned about scientific medicine is medicine that is made scientifically.

Sewed up his heart

One thing I learned is that Dr. Dan was able to save a man’s life with using scientific medicine. Another thing I learned about scientific medicine is that is that Dr. Dan used it to help the heart. The doctors from ‘ Sewed up his Heart’ considered the heart surgery very unpredictable.

New Doctor

One thing I learned about scientific medicine is that a stethoscope could see how the heart is doing and how healthy it is. Another thing I learned is that doctors use some kind of cloth to take blood pressures. The last thing I learned about scientific medicine was to help the little girl’s scab.

In conclusion, reading this you will see that scientific medicine has been used through great stories. This story will help you and it will help me. In the introduction, I told you a lot about scientific medicine, that these stories are very helpful to the brain. This story will help kids find their most creative selves. Tell me, what have you learned about scientific medicine?

God’s Neighborhood

My dream is to get together many people to clean up the place that God created which is now called Los Angeles. My family will put a trashcan at every corner; my neighbors put a trashcan in every park and clean them up. I will also have my cousins come over and paint some houses. Maybe I will get some of my friends to help me pick up all the trash in every parking lot.

I will have my grandma and my mother plant new flowers in every park; I will even have my two sisters and my father water some lawns in the city. I could have my Uncle Paul and Aunt Shairy help me pick up the trash on every sidewalk. I think we could make God’s creation a little more protective. We could pick up all the glass and the trash that people drop on the floor.

In addition, that is my story about God’s creation. Maybe even you can help me

Too Late

One day in class, we had a new student, her name was Jade. Jade was a very smart person in the 3rd grade, but she did not know anything that was going on in our class. Jade started getting dizzy; she did not feel too well. Finally, it was recess and Jade was hit in the head. She did not who she was and what she needed to do, Jade saw the gate open and she walked over it and stopped in the middle of the street. Jade had no idea what the other kids on the play ground were yelling about, suddenly she saw a car coming really fast, and Jade thought it was a part of a game and the other students wanted her to bring the car to them.

She didn’t know how to stop the car so she just waited there until she knew what to do, in a rush the car smashed into Jade and she was just lying there, the bell rang and everybody an into their classes and I was the only one on the play ground to try to save her. I saw this skateboard on the sidewalk, then I put Jade on top of the skateboard, rolled her to a shady spot so nobody would see us, I put my ear on her jest, and I didn’t hear a heart beat.

I thought she was dead but I didn’t give up. I tried waking her up, I even poured water on her head but nothing happened exempt she was all wet then I knew that I couldn’t do anything because I was too late, so I got a nurse and she took Jade to the nurses office and called Jade’s parents and tolled them that their daughter was no longer alive.

And that’s my story.

Brain Control

BY: Gabriella

One day I walk to this house selling candy, and a little girl plants a microchip that makes me do anything that girl told me to do. And she said, ‘ I command you to do all of my chores for the rest of the day.’ Therefore, I did. I cleaned her room, vacuumed her carpet, water the plants, I even went to the store and bought food to make dinner. This girl had total control over me. This girl had so much fun having me do everything so she had me do it for the past 2 weeks. She takes the microchip off when I have to go to bed.

At night I felt like someone was controlling me and I did not like the feeling, but anyway I steel went to sleep. In the morning, I was getting to go to school, but suddenly I see this girl rushing to me with a square that had a blinking light. Then I knew she was the bad feeling, so I ran to her and snatched the chip away, and then I threw it on the floor and then I stomped my foot on it.

The microchip was destroyed and the girl had to do her chores on herm own from now on. I say it was a great ending for someone with an evil mind. Now I could get back to my life and go to school and on Sundays, I could go to church. That is all I have to say about the evil girl and the microchip. Therefore, that is the end of my story.

Butterflies

By: Gabriella

Butterflies are sweet,

Butterflies are colorful,

There not like birds,

There not like bats,

They are creatures that transform,

They are like pretty birds,

There like a nice rainbow,

Most of all there like you

And that’s my poem

Pioneer Trends

By: Gabriella

I am going to tell you how the pioneers lived and what they did during the past. The pioneers have done some amazing things, and I would like to tell you what they did.

First of all trapping was so successful that Smith decided to travel to his camp at the Great Salt Lake to find to more trappers. Smith and his men had become the very first people from the United States to cross the mighty Sierra Nevada. Like Jediah Smith, Stearns saw the opportunity to find wealth in California. Stearns so successful in his business that he became the wealthiest man in Los Angeles.

Some things were very difficult, like after two failures in business, he decided to go to California to start a new life. In 1846, a group of settlers led by the Donner family got into terrible trouble on their way to California. Only 47 people were alive after 7 months.

Back then there were very few women and a lot of miners. The miners had a rough cloth that was made from beavers. These miners had to look for gold so that they could trade in for money. The miners sometimes picked up rocks. If they’re lucky, they could pick up a fossil.

My Food

By: Gabriella

One day I was at my cousins’ house. It was lunchtime. When Aunty Monica looked in the refrigerator, and there was nothing in there but prune juice. Everybody hated prune juice. My mom went to the store, but she saw were prunes, prune juice, and prune mix.

Suddenly the phone was ringing and Sydney answered it. The voice said, ‘ If you want your food all you have to do is get scissors, cardboard, red paint, and a long piece of wood. Now with the scissors cut out a peanut shape from the cardboard. With the red paint, color the long wood red. All you have to do now is to glue the peanut to the top of the wood. On the floor one of you kids have take this thing and say,‘ Food come back.’ And tap the floor really hard.’

So Nathan did it. He grabbed the stick, and did what the man said. He tapped the floor really hard and said,’ Food come back.’ So everybody got food, and nobody had to eat prunes ever again. If old people like it, they can eat it.

Now everybody has his or her food back.

And that’s my story

What I learned

By: Gabriella

I learned plenty like our word profusely. We also learned a whole lot about folk medicine. And we also learned about dividing 4 digit quotients. We even learned about Jedediah Smith and Indians killed that he. I also learned that the Indians used to own California. I even learned that the stories, ‘ New Doctor’ and ‘ The Bridge Dancers’ have a lot to do with folk medicine. I also learned that the Indians were first to come to California. I even learned that a long time ago the Chinese would chew on bark from a willow tree to reduce pain. Another thing I learned was that the ancient Egyptians used herb treatments to heal wounds. I even learned that a parallel circuit could still light up even if 1 or 2 light bulbs are unscrewed. And I learned that a series circuit couldn’t light up if 1 light bulb is unscrewed. I also learned that the Spanish left California and came back to create missions. I even learned that the hole in the volcano is called a crater. I even learned that days could go past faster if you have fun in school. And that’s all I learned this week.

Moreover, that is my story.

What I learned

I am going to tell you what I learned through out the week.

This week I leaned about vivid verbs. Vivid verbs are words that make sentences more interesting. I also learned about circles, and that they have a radius, diameter, and a circumference. The circumference is the outer ring of the circle. The third thing I learned was how to turn mixed fractions into improper fractions. The fourth thing I learned is that rotational symmetry is complicated and ordinary symmetry is not complicated at all. Our class also started a new unit. The unit is called, ‘ Island of the Blue Dolphins’.

Just yesterday, everybody has done a poster about the, ‘ Rules for Survival’. These rules for survival are from the story, ‘ Island of the Blue Dolphins’.

Another thing I learned is that Bolivia is in South America. I also learned about multisyllabic words. I even learned about the early California.

In addition, that is what I learned this week.

Patterns of Gray Whales

The Ice Maze

By: Gabriella

One day I took a plane to Alaska. My mother let me browse the place. Soon I came upon a cave. Inside the cave were polar bears. They were sleeping. Next, I stumbled right next to a door. Above the door were the words, ‘ Ice Hotel ’. Inside the hotel were polar bears acting like they were famous and rich. Another amazing thing was that they were wearing cloths and were speaking English.

Very soon, it was time for me to go home. When I arrived to my cabin, I smelled hot chocolate, heard the television, saw cookies on the table, and everyone was happy.

After eating dinner, everybody went to bed. My mother, father, sisters, and I were dreaming pleasant dreams. My mom was dreaming about being the president, my father was dreaming about fixing the biggest computer ever, Chloie was dreaming about catching a beautiful butterfly, Isabella was dreaming about having bumblebees as her friends, and I was dreaming about being part of the animal world.

In the morning, I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and went back outside.

Soon I came upon a wired maze. Then I said,’ This looks like fun. Maybe I should go in.’ So I did. I went in.

When I came into a rectangle, there was no way out.

All of the sudden, three polar bears were dropped into the rectangle. They started to attack.

To be continued.

What I learned this week

By: Gabriella

This week we went on a field trip to Long Beach so we can learn about the gray whale. I learned that the gray whale sometimes comes up every 5 minutes. I also learned that gray whales are afraid of the boats.

Another thing I learned is about solid figures such as a cylinder, square pyramid, sphere, cube, cone, and a rectangular prism. Some solid figures are congruent. The cone, square pyramid, and the cylinders are congruent.

Everybody in my class has written a story about the Artic. I think everyone is creative in his or her own way.

We even played battle ship with Mr. Riddick. Everybody had lots of fun.

Another thing I learned is that the gray whale is a bottom feeder. Our class even learned new vocabulary words. Like constellation and crevasses. Our class is singing a nice song that for 3 days and it helped us learn all the fifty states in the United States of America.

We even learned how to survive in the Artic. We even learned the distance of coordinate grids.

So I guess we did learn a lot this week. In addition, we got a new student.

In addition, that is my story on what did I learn this week.

The Search for a Drink

Hi, it’s me again. I’m still in the desert. I didn’t want to stay in the house every day. So I went back to the desert to take some pictures.

After 3 hours I didn’t know which way to go. I looked around and around, but I didn’t see the town. I knew I kept walking strait, so I’ll turn around and walk that way. But no matter how much I walked, I still couldn’t see the town.

I realized that I was lost and I was hot and my mouth was really dry. Very soon I saw a watering hole. I ran to it and jumped in. I realized that it was only ma morgue. Two more hours past. My mouth is even drier than before.

Soon I saw a camel with a bag full of water. I ran to it. I tried to untie the bag but the camel wouldn’t stop moving. Then I said, ‘ If I can’t have that bag then I’ll just follow the camel.’ Then I remembered that a cactus has water, so I will cut it with my knife and drink the water.

‘ Ahhh!’ I screamed. ‘ Hyenas are chasing me.

A life time in the Artic

By: Gabriella

All of the sudden I end up in the Artic, and I don’t know what to do. Soon some girls came up to me. They were telling me that they were sucked into the Artic. I tolled them that I was sucked in as well.

We couldn’t feel a thing because we were so could. We weren’t making any progress looking for food all together. So we took our split ways.

In April 47, 2006, we met each other once again and each had a basket full of food. These 3 girls were very happy to see each other once again after 2 years.

Our food lasted for 2 months, and in April 6, 2006, we were very amused that the snowstorm stopped and the sun came up.

Laura said, ‘ You guys, a miracle has happened! God gave us the gift of the sun.’

When some of the ice melted, we had something to drink. The polar bears didn’t like the warm weather, so they took off their fur.

Now the Arctic is no longer cold and Maria, Laura, and I are happy.

And that’s my story.

Out of the Arctic

By: Gabriella

You might remember me. I was the one being attacked by the Polar bears. I can tell you I didn’t die. Lucky for me, I had some fish. I through the fish and the Polar bears followed like dogs.

When I got rid of the Polar bears, I got to finish the maze. So I did. The maze was finished after 1 hour. When it was finished, I went back home to get more supplies.

When I arrived to the cabin, it was time to hed back to California.

My father drove us home, and I was sad, because I couldn’t finish my adventure.

And that’s my story.

The Big Wind

By: Gabriella

One day I’m climbing a mountain with my father, and all of the sudden a huge wind lifts us up and we don’t know what to do! My father just remembered that he had a 25 feet rope, and there’s a mountain close to us.

Every time he through the rope, it would never pass the wind. I told my dad,’ Dad, you know how to swim don’t you? Yes I do. Then let’s swim to the ground. But this is wind. Just swim!

So we swam and swam, but when we were close to the bottom, we saw a pack of wolves. We let the wind carry us up, because we didn’t want to get eaten.

Soon the wind stopped. WE wee falling and falling and falling. It was a long fall, so we waited for our doom. When we fell and all of the dust was clear, we were on pillows and 3 wolves were in front of us. We ran and ran.

At least we survived the wind.

Whale Adventure

By: Gabriella

First we saw a sea lion by the dock. Then we were sailing. A few minutes later we were far from the shore. Soon we past the middle of the ocean and started seeing some gray whales blowing water out of their blowholes.

Pretty soon we saw the gray whales popping out its head. I t was nice to see a whale a little close to the boat. After that we saw some sea lions gathering around a giant, red, metal thing. Once the whale got close enough, we saw some barnacle on the whale.

After that somebody saw some fish in the water. Some other kids saw plankton.

After a while, the boat started to turn left and right. I became sea sick.

When my sickness was over, I went to the restaurant and ate my lunch. When it became warm I started smelling the salty water. The weather was warm a t first, but then it became sunny and warm.

We saw many ducks swimming in the ocean.

Now we arrived to the shore. We got off the boat, down the stairs, and onto the school bus.

And that’s my story about gray whales.
