What is a monsoon?

A monsoon is a very rainy weather that happens once a year. A monsoon also has thunderstorms and very cool lightening. There is more rain in a monsoon season then the entire year.

The monsoon usually comes to Arizona between June and September.

The monsoon is important so that the desert plants and animals get water. It also fills up the rivers and ponds. The rains also help stop any fires.

Drum roll please!! The Olympic games are done. It is sad we can not watch the olympics today.

So today on the Desert Times we present: Simone Biles. Before we get into her story let's learn about how it came together.

First of all, it started in Olympia. A religious city. The Olympics is way more important than you think. The Olympics was originally made to have peace between countries so they would not start war. That is why in the Olympics there are many other countries.

Now where were we....OH! yes presenting Simone Biles! Here is some personal information:

Once we got to Apple Annie's Orchard we got on the wagon. My friend was with us. Then we went to the apples. They were very small. After that we topped by the peaches. Most of the ripe peaches were higher up on the trees. If you looked close enough you may find a ripe one closer down. We also stoped by the plums, they were very ripe.

We plan on making peach cobbler with our peaches. My family and I had lots of fun. I recommend going, it was lots of fun.

Today I am reviewing: Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

In the beginning of the book Greg has a problem with school and home. His friend Rowley tried to help but he could not help with his problem. So Greg has to find a new friend. His name is Fregely. When he came close, Fregely said "Wanna see my secret freckle?" And of course he said "um...no thank you." Also Fregely has a secret language and when he has to use the restroom he says "juice!!"

there are so many funny things in the book. I think it is a good book. I think you will like it. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

Bluey came to Tucson, Arizona for two days. The Grendahl Family went to watch Bluey's Big Play.

Bluey and the rest of the characters are puppets. They work like paper dragon's but more complicated. Here is a list of what moves on Bluey: eyes, mouth, eyebrows, tail and feet. He was also able to walk and run. It was a lot.

I give a five out of five!! If they come back you should go seem them!

The Reid Park Zoo is so fun!! It has so many animals you can explore! Like giraffes, elephants, goats, zebras, monkeys, alligators, bears and flamingos. It is open everyday!

The Pathway to Asia exhibit is opening in 2026. There will be red pandas, tigers, small clawed otters, and a Komodo Dragon. In December you can have hot chocolate and visit the Christmas lights.

Our verse for this school year is: 1 Peter 4:10-" As each has received a gift, use it serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace."

What 1 Peter 4:10 is about is to be kind, nice and not mean. Also to be polite. It also teaches us to be nice to other people and be a good Christian.

Can you spot the differences??

Charles: Knock, knock

Bob the Bandit: Who is there?

Bob the Bandit: investigator who?

Charles: Round here I will ask the questions!

Pastor and Mrs. Hook have decided to get new buildings at Creation School. We saw a dead bird in one of the buildings. It may have gotten in there while the workers had everything open. We also saw lots of nails and wood. There were a lot of stuff all over the ground. The workers will be filling the courtyard

with lots of dirt.

The new buildings are going to be used for PE, and classrooms. We will have many opportunities with these buildings.
