We went to Jenkinson’s Boardwalk and we had so much fun. I played a slot machine and skee ball. We had
lunch at a restaurant. My favorite part of the day was playing skee ball. When I played I thought of my mom
who passed away. I get to go to Jenkinson’s again tonight with my friends. I really enjoyed the boardwalk.

won a prize from the claw game and I gave it to Jenn. I then won 2 more stuffed animals. It rained a lot
when we were there but we still had fun. Later in the day we went to another arcade; it was the most expensive game room. Each game was a $1.00 to $2.00 per game. For lunch we ate at The Bar and Grill on the
boardwalk. The pizza was good and hot.

Touring Delicious Orchards
Touring Delicious Orchards—Written by: Thomas
We went on a tour of the bakery department and store. I learned a lot during the tour. We got to touch and
handle some of the special fruits and vegetables. We sampled some oatmeal raisin cookies, donuts, tomatoes and more. The samples were fresh and tasted great. The apple cider was so good that I went back for
another cup. Delicious Orchards also has a lunch area. You can buy your lunch, sit at a picnic table and
enjoy! I would like to go back again to sample some cheese next time.
Touring Delicious Orchards—Written by: Carolyn
Delicious Orchards has a variety of foods. Ron, who took us on the tour, was a nice guy. He showed us how
they made cookies, pies, apple cider doughnuts and bread. We got to taste the oatmeal cookies and they
tasted good. I got my mom’s birthday gift there, apple cider doughnuts and oatmeal raisin cookies. I got myself sparkling apple cider and some candy. We were able to have lunch there too, I had a hamburger and
fries and apple cider. I think Delicious Orchards would be a nice place to work.
Touring Delicious Orchards—Written by: DJ
At Delicious Orchards we took a tour of the bakery, as well as the whole store. Ron had a lot of facts about
his job and Delicious Orchards. I learned that by the time the store opened 1,000 donuts had already been
made. It was a large store that had different things for sale and each had its own area where you could find
it. For example, there was a bakery department, fruit and vegetable section, candy area and much more.
They have a restaurant. We were able to eat lunch there. I had mozzarella sticks and french fries. I would go
back to the restaurant again because I thought it was fun.
Touring Delicious Orchards—Written by: Kellie
I really had a great time touring the bakery and produce department. Ron was extremely helpful. He told us
that Delicious Orchards does not put any extra stuff in their food and apple cider. It was all fresh stuff like
fresh apple cider, fresh baked goods. I loved shopping there. My grandparents use to shop there all the time
and if I was at their house they would always invite me to come along. My favorite thing to get at Delicious
Orchards is, of course, the apple cider doughnuts.
Touring Delicious Orchards—Written by: Jim
Delicious Orchards was a good place to visit. We got to see the bakery and learned how they bake the pies
and make cookies. We saw the big ovens they use. Ron told us they can fit 150 pies in one oven. We learned
some interesting facts about fruits and vegetables. After the tour we had lunch there. The food was good and
they had lots of options you could pick from. I also went shopping; I bought caramel popcorn and some sparkling cider. I liked the Orchards. I think it would be a good place for my mom to work. She loves to bake.
Touring Delicious Orchards—Written by: Robert S
I went to Delicious Orchards. We had a personal tour of the store and bakery. When we went through the
bakery, we wore a hat and had to keep our hands to ourselves, as the equipment could have been hot. The
Orchard has a variety of stuff like fruits, vegetables, cookies, donuts, prepared foods and flowers. There are
all different types of jobs there, for example: bakers, shelf stockers, cashiers and many more. We saw a
honey beehive. I thought it was so cool because I had never seen so many bees at one time. That was my
favorite part of the trip. I would like to go back again and bring my friend Robert R, who missed the trip.
Touring Delicious Orchards—Written by: Keren
We took a fun tour of Delicious Orchards, and we learned some things. We got to taste some things during

the store were cool because I liked seeing all the different and interesting candy. I also thought that the bee
exhibit was awesome. I had a fun day.

BlueClaws Review—Written By: Thomas
I loved the BlueClaw’s stadium. It was clean and the entire staff was helpful and kind. My classmates and I
interviewed an employee who mentioned that the BlueClaws organization honors the military by giving them
a discount on Wednesdays. They also have a senior citizens day on Tuesdays. Last summer I went to the stadium and wrestlers ran onto the field. That was a special game. When I have the opportunity, I would like to
see another game.
BlueClaws Review—Written By: Kellie
I really enjoyed the whole experience of going to a BlueClaws game, from watching the game to shopping at
the gift shop. I got popcorn and chicken fingers. I really enjoyed the usher who helped us to our seats. He
was extremely happy when I thanked him for everything he did for us. He said it was the nicest comment
anyone has ever said to him. I loved the gift shop. I got a cool hat. The BlueClaws is a great place to go and I
will definitely go back.
BlueClaws Review—Written By: Keren
The BlueClaws game was fun. I enjoyed the weather. I liked the music that was sometimes playing on the
loud speakers. The game itself was cool. The trophies that were in the showcase when we first got to the Stadium were awesome. The seats were really amazing with an amazing view of the game. The man that was in
charge of seating was helpful. It was truly a fun day.
BlueClaws Review—Written By: Jim
This week we went to the BlueClaws game and had lots of fun. We were able to walk around the ballpark before the game. They had a lot of things to do while we were there like jump houses, face painting, character
drawings and other cool activities. I enjoyed interviewing one of the guys that worked at the Blue Claws. It
was funny because he had the same name as me. I learned a lot about the BlueClaws during the interview. I
love baseball and going to the BlueClaws game was the best trip we have gone on so far!
BlueClaws Review—Written By: Carolyn
Yesterday, I went to a BlueClaws game and it was a very hot day but, I had a lot of fun. I got a picture with
the mascot, Buster. He was really friendly. While we were there I had chicken fingers, fries and cotton candy.
The food was really good. Everyone that worked there was really nice to us. I would love to work there one
day as an usher. At the end of the day we went to the gift shop. It was nice and cool inside. I bought a Yankees mug which I love. I can’t wait to go back to the BlueClaws.
BlueClaws Review—Written By: Robert S
On July 28, I went to the BlueClaws baseball game. I was excited for this trip because I like to go to baseball parks and try to catch foul balls. Luckily I got one! When our group interviewed Jim, who is the vice
president of ticket sales, I learned that they have a connection with the Yankees and support ALS also
known as Lou Gehrig Disease. I would like to go back and see another baseball game. I would like to have
a job at a baseball park one day so I can see all the games for free.

Inside Out Movie Review - Written By: DJ
Inside Out is a movie about a girl named Riley, who is learning about her emotions sad, joy, anger, disgust
and scared. The emotions played a roll in Riley’s mind. When she thinks about things, says something, or
does stuff, they control everything. When her family moved from Minnesota to San Francisco, California she
was sad to move and needed her emotions to help her get through it all. I was not a fan of the movie because
I don’t like Disney movies. I give this movie a 1 out of 2 thumbs up.

Summer Activities we enjoy!! - Written By: Thomas
One activity I like to do in the summer is go to baseball games. I love to see the teams play at a stadium. It is
much more exciting to watch it live than on TV. You get to meet new people and possibly catch a foul or
homerun ball. There are a lot of activities going on at a baseball games so, if you don’t like baseball you
would still like to go because of all of the other stuff that they have there.

One activity I like to do in the summer is going to the movies. Sometimes it gets really hot in the summer
and going to the movies you can stay out of the heat with the air conditioning. I love going and getting a popcorn and a drink while enjoying a good movie. I think the best movies come out in the summer. That’s why I
think going to the movies is the best summer activity.

One activity I like to do in the summer is going to North Wildwood, NJ. I like racing the go-karts. When I
drive them I like to drift around corners and turn and go fast. The go-karts are a lot of fun. I also like playing the games on the boardwalk. My favorite games are the crane games. My family and I enjoy going to the
stores, the 50’s diner and the 50’s ice cream place. I could write a lot more but there is just so much to write
about and not enough time.

One activity I like to do in the summer is going to see a movie and watching TV because it is fun. Watching
movies are very relaxing and fun. Movies might also be informative and therefore you can learn some things.
Movies can be wonderful company too, because you might relate to characters that are in the movie and
maybe the situations that the characters go through. You might feel alone, and watching movies transport
you to a place where you have company. Watching TV is also very relaxing and fun. There are funny TV
shows that make you laugh and there are reality TV shows that are very interesting and relatable.

One activity I like to do in the summer is go to barbecues. I love food and barbecues are a place where you
can get lots of food. At the barbecues, my family and I eat and do lots of Greek dances. Every summer I look
forward to these barbecues.

One activity I like to do in the summer is boating. I love to go boating because I get a great view of houses
from the bay. While boating we get to see other people and their boats which I love seeing all the different
types of boats that are out on the water. If you have never been on a boat on the Jersey shore, I would recommend you trying it once.

One activity I like to do in the summer is swimming. I like to be in the pool to keep cool from the heat. My
Uncle Rickey and Aunt Joy let me to go to their pool whenever I want. Swimming is fun. You get to play
games, go under water and hang out with friends. I prefer the pool over the ocean. Swimming is a great
summer activity.
