KIDS CORNER: EARTHQUAKE, BUT THE JAPANESE DON'T FEAR!
In Ancient Japanese civilizations I learned they constructed some earthquake resistant buildings that were used as houses. Most of the houses were built the same way to help protect their families. They had constructed these buildings to have a pillar in the center and 5 or 6 floors connected by strong wires. If you pushed on the pillar the building would shake but not fall. An earthquake would only shake it too, but not knock it down. In modern day Japan, they still make these earthquake resistant houses. (by JH)

KIDS CORNER - English: Parts of Speech
ENGLISH Worksheet: FILL IN THE BLANKS SILLY STORY FUN
How to play: Read the story. As you come across a word that's missing, ask a friend to answer the questions you ask them and write down the answers on a separate sheet of paper. Make sure you ask them to pick a word that meets the description of the proper parts of speech or other term (adjective, noun, verb, number, liquid, part of body). Once you have picked words and written them down for all the blanks, go back and read the story again, but this time filling in the blanks with the words they picked. (Other option is to print this page and fill in the blanks using a pencil once it's printed.) Have fun! Be prepared to laugh ALOT! Take turns with family members and friends and make sure they help you get a turn to choose the words for the blanks too. Enjoy! We welcome you to leave comments below the blog with your favorite selected words for the matching blank spaces and share them with everyone here so we can all enjoy a good laugh from your best choices. Thanks for visiting and playing our Silly Story Fun!
Today was a (adjective) day! The (noun) was out and the temperature was (number) degrees! We decided to (verb) to the (place). I patted my (pet) and headed out the door. It took awhile to get there, but the (noun) was (adjective). I brought my handheld video game player and started enjoying a quick game of (favorite video game) in the back seat. It was only shortly after we left that we suddenly realized our (liquid) was leaking! (Family member's name) stopped and asked where the nearest (place) was so we could fix it. After taking care of the minor disaster, all was well again and we were able to rest our (part of body -plural). Now it was time to get back to our (adjective) day!
Our (parent) drove the (type of vehicle) super (speed - fast or slow), but we got there just the same. We entered into what seemed like a garden and soon walked passed a (noun). (friend's name) was distracted by the (adjective) fountains and (color) flowers that they almost tripped over a (animal)! They were so thankful it was not a (poisonous reptile) like the one we had seen at the zoo! We entered the (color) building and checked to see which floor our destination was on. The only elevator was busy though, so we took the stairs to the (number) floor. By the time we almost had reached our floor level, our (part of body - plural) had already gotten tired and our (part of body) was weak. We were very (emotion) when we finally got to the right floor.
At last it was time to (activity)! Yay! Everyone got to have a turn (verb: add -ing ending) and (verb: add -ing ending)! The place looked (adjective)! My family and friends all had a (adjective) time! On the way home, my (parent) offered to treat us all to (food). It was a (adjective) ending to a (adjective) day! "Don't forget to (verb) when you get home!", my friend (friend's name) said. I promised I would and gave them a (noun) before they left. "See you again (length of time)!", I shouted. Once home, I drifted off to sleep immediately and dreamed of (noun -plural).
The end.
