Foggy Morning Farewell: A Memoir of Leaving Home
The leaving happened on a foggy, misty morning when the street sweeper could be heard. We put our faces against the hall window and pressed our cold lips against the glass. It was the morning of the departure. There were boxes of clothes, toys, dishes, and pictures of us everywhere. It took us a long time to leave because we had been packing for days and saying goodbye to everyone we knew. Everyone in our building, our friends, the grocery store owner, and especially our cousins. All day long, we said goodbye to our cousins.
Mama said that on the morning we left, people in a truck would move us and take care of everything we loved. We got up early and went across the street to the deli to get hot cocoa. I drew more lips on the deli window and kept an eye out for the movers the morning they were leaving. We sat on the steps and watched the movers put our things in the moving truck. They wore blue clothes for moving and made noises as they went up and down the stairs. As they carefully loaded our things, they whistled and said, “Watch out, kids!” a lot. Miss Mattie, who lived upstairs, gave me a moving hat and a kiss on the head. And on the morning I was leaving, she told me to be careful when I crossed the street in my new place and think of her.
I sat between my mom and dad and held their hands as we got ready to leave. My dad said that soon we’d be somewhere we’d all love. We gave each other tight hugs and left our old apartment for the last time. On the morning we moved out, I wrote “goodbye” on the front window of our old apartment with my lips.
It was sad to leave the only home I had ever known, but I knew we were starting a new adventure and that we would make new memories in our new home. We got into the truck, and as we drove away, I looked back at our old building and left my lips on the window one last time before saying goodbye to our old neighbourhood. I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic as we drove through the streets. The sights and sounds of the neighbourhood where I grew up slowly fade away. Everything I used to know was going away: the corner store where I used to buy candy, the park where I used to play with my friends, and the school I went to. I had a lump in my throat as we drove by the deli where we had hot cocoa on the morning we were leaving.
When we got to our new house, I was both excited and interested. The neighbourhood was very different from where we used to live. The houses were bigger, the lawns were greener, and the streets were wider. The air smelled different, and the sound of birds chirping was nicer than the sound of cars honking in our old neighbourhood. It took us a while to get used to our new home and neighbourhood, but we eventually made new friends, explored the area, and made new memories. Even though I missed our old home and the people we left behind, I was excited to start a new part of our lives.
As the years went by, we started to forget about our old home and the people we left behind. But I will always remember that misty, soupy morning when we left. It was the morning that changed our lives forever. It was the morning that started a new journey for my family and me.

My Kitten Is a Ninja by Kenn Nesbitt
My kitten is a ninja.
He wears a black disguise.
He sneaks up on me stealthily
and takes me by surprise.
I never hear him coming. 5
He doesn’t make a peep.
He hides, then glides in silently
and makes a flying leap.
I don’t know why he does it.
The reason isn’t clear. 10
He simply likes to tackle me
then swiftly disappear.
I wish that he was normal
and didn’t act like that.
My life would be so different if 15
I had an average cat.
I’d play with him, and pet him,
and treat him gingerly.
Instead, whenever he’s around
I get a ninjury. 20

A. | In places like Florida, which also has scrub and forest habitats, there are a lot of wetland habitats. Bogs, swamps, lakes, marshes, and ferns are all places where animals live.
There are both freshwater and saltwater wetland habitats in this category. The Florida Everglades is one of the largest wetland areas left in the continental U.S., but it is still being damaged over time. We take up space wherever we live, and since we can build homes in most habitats, we cause erosion that isn’t natural. Draining wetlands for development displaces many animals and plants that call it home, such as shrews, beavers, alligators, voles, frogs, salamanders, turtles, snails, and birds. |
C. | Subterranean habitats, like burrows, are often overlooked as underground homes for animals and not just caves.
Caves only have moss and lichens, animals living on seeped water. Burrow-like homes are found in soil and sand, and many animals, such as burrowing owls, snakes, and rodents, live in burrows underground.
Animals that live in underground habitats possess a unique skill that sets them apart. They are able to navigate through tunnels in both directions effortlessly, unlike humans who may struggle to do so.
This is one way they have changed to help them live in their unique underground homes. |
B. | When it comes to grasslands, the soil in a savanna really can’t support bigger plants. There isn’t enough rain to keep a tree healthy and full. Savannas have a mix of taller plants and trees, watering holes, and small forests that distinguish them from grasslands.
Lions, rabbits, antelope, rhinoceroses, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, bison, tigers, and elephants are some of the animals that live in savannas. Savannas have more variety of animals than grasslands because it’s easier to live in and better to access, and also tend to have more human populations. |
D. | Scrub habitats, also known as scrubland, shrub or brush habitats, have diverse and intriguing cultures. Pine trees grow from heated or burned pine cones, controlling the growth of shrubs and grasses. Despite killing older trees, fires still provide habitat for wildlife.
Scrub/shrub habitats with diverse elements like grasses, flowers, shrubs and young plants, support diverse wildlife due to nutrient-rich soils. Some animals are endangered and only live in these places, like the Florida scrub jay. Controlled burns are necessary to maintain the balance of plant growth and preserve food sources for the animals that live there. |
