For my winter story, I want to talk about my winter plans. This winter, I want to ride a sled, make a snowman, have a snowball fight, celebrate Christmas and New Year's, and then go to my new class. I also want to play, sleep, and sit in front of the TV and drink hot cocoa. When I drink hot cocoa,  I want to watch the movie, "How To Train Your Dragon".  

I think next year will be a happy year. I will buy a sled, and then find a snowy hill to sled on. Then I will ride a sled and have a lot of fun! I also want to make a snowman. In order to make one, we have to make several snowballs. We can make snowballs bigger by rolling them. We should have a big one on the bottom, then a medium one, and then a little one on top. I can add arms, eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Then, I can put a scarf around the snowman's neck, or a hat on the snowman's head. I want to have a snowball fight, so I need a pair of gloves. I can make snowballs in my hand, and then throw them with a snap.

For Christmas, I would like to buy a Christmas tree, then the lights to go on it. I can't wait to open my presents on Christmas!

On New Year's, my resolution will be to study very hard and get 100% on all tests. I also want to be an excellent soccer player. I want to practice really hard too. I have to be careful not to play too rough though, because I don't want to get hurt.
