Keith has already received his yellow belt and will soon be getting his orange belt. It’s time for him to learn some new moves! As he’s trying to learn a move that he read about on his own, Sensei steps onto the tatami mat. Today, he is going to teach them a new move called the two-finger strike! Keith is really excited.

He has to master the two-finger strike!

Keith knows that karate requires a lot of practice and self-control. Sometimes martial artists get hurt, but that’s a part of the game. Sensei has decided it’s time for Keith to take things to the next level. He needs to learn how to split boards! This seems like a challenge to Keith. He had seen other kids try it and get injured, so he is a little nervous. “Are you ready?” Sensei asks Keith. Keith takes a deep breath and braces himself. He might not succeed immediately, but he will practice until he does!

Keith appeared on the stage in a black costume with a black hood. Only his eyes were visible, so the audience couldn’t tell who he was! His father had made this ninja outfit custom just for him.

When the smoke on the stage cleared, Keith appeared in front of a Japanese temple and showed off his karate moves. The audience had no idea what he had in store for them!

At dusk, the farm grounds come alive with endless sounds. Gary, who never misses an opportunity to have fun, is hanging out with Hopi and Dubey at the edge of the pond. They can’t wait to show off their dance moves later at the big dance!

Mary Ann Jacobs tore open the bright pink envelope and saw a shiny invitation covered with glitter. “You’re invited to a dance party!” she read.

It was the perfect morning to have fun! Gary and his friends had agreed to watch Grace hula-hoop. Grace stretched her legs and arms, took deep breaths, and placed a book on top of her head. This was her warm-up before the big show.

It’s Friday night, and my parents are taking me to the theme park! My dad brings his camera to capture every moment, and when we decide to ride the roller coaster together, he hands it over to mom.

Fred is really excited. His teacher gave him the best grade in the whole class, and he can’t wait to tell his brother, Seth! When he gets home from school, though, Seth is nowhere to be found.

Today was Thanksgiving, and Gary was over the moon! He screamed and ran downstairs to meet his parents in the kitchen. “Happy Thanksgiving!” Gary looked around him and saw lots of pans and pots filled with delicious food in the kitchen. He immediately offered to help.

Gary and his friends were going to play touch football in the yard. Everyone would be there! Gary had made grand plans for this game, but there was a small problem. He was sick! He felt sleepy and tired, and his whole body ached. His mom immediately called Dr. Frog, who put a thermometer under Gary's tongue to check his temperature.

Gary had a unique idea. He and his friends would pretend to live in a kingdom full of magic. Everyone loved his suggestion, and Gary was chosen to be king. Daisy and Donna Duck would be his servants, and as the king of the kingdom, Gary would grant magical wishes.

Some people love Christmas and Thanksgiving, but Gary’s favorite time of the year is Independence Day! This year, he mowed the lawn, pulled out the barbecue grill, put a red tablecloth over the picnic table, and hung his US flag outside his front door. Gary was looking forward to serving corn on the cob, grilled pea pods, and dessert to his guests.

Mary Ann Jacobs listened to her parents’ conversation as she ate her cereal. They were arguing about what was wrong with the economy. Mary Ann’s parents had conversations like this all the time. They weren’t on opposite sides, but they had different opinions about what would make the world a happy place, and they liked expressing them.

Gary got out of bed after a long night and a big dinner of corn and milkshakes. A morning stroll around the park sounded like a perfect idea. As he was walking around, he came across a piece of brightly-colored paper.

Mary Ann Jacobs looked stunning in her softball uniform. She just couldn’t wait to play in her first softball game. She was so ready for it!

It may not be a big deal for him, but for Mary Ann, it was huge.

Summer nights were really hot, and Gary couldn’t sleep at all! He tossed and turned in his bed, feeling uncomfortable, exhausted, and restless. He tried putting ice in his pillow, but that didn’t work! There was not even a cool breeze....

As Gary and his friends were playing, Grace noticed something poking out of the grass.... Gary recognized it right away. It was a pin! The others had never seen anything like it before, but Grace grabbed it and held it above her head. She would be queen, and this would be her scepter!
