Life Cycle of a Plant

The seeds turn into a sprout and then they turn into a seedling. They turn into a sunflower then a big sunflower drops their seeds. The n the first sunflower dies.  But it is not sad because there are more sunflowers to grow from the seeds.

Summer Mornings

Summer mornings are nice and warm. The sun comes up without a sound.  Crickets sing for joy as the orange light beams across the ground.  A warm wind sweeps away the dark night. People are awake in their beds glad that light is above their heads.  Children get out of their beds quickly and fling open the curtains. They quickly have breakfast and rush outside.  The beauty of the morning shines in their excited faces. The trees are rustling and swaying about.  No clouds are in the sky except one big cloud looking like a ring around the sun.
