Hello, my name is Trevor. My souvenir is a radio that my brother gave me. It means a lot to me because it was the first time he ever gave me something so fascinating. It is special to me because every time I use it I think of my big brother, and thank him for the souvenir that I will treasure forever.

  Hello, my name is Warren. I got a souvenir on my vacation to Birmingham, England. My souvenir is a postcard with the British flag on the front cover.
As you can see the flag has three colors. These colors are blue, white, and red. If you are on vacation or you want to send a postcard this is the perfect place to go. On my vacation to Birmingham, England I went to a theme park named Drayton Manor Park. One ride I loved a lot was Lightning. When I look at it, it reminds me of this ride and the great time I had in Drayton Manor Park.

Hello, my name is Aiyanna. My souvenir is a statue from Florida. My mom, dad and sister received it when we went to a carnival and bought it at the gift shop. We got this statue in 2002. My family and I are able to cherish it.
This is special to me for many different reasons. One reason is because this has been in my family for a long time and I hope to past it on to my family in determine. Well that's all about this, I hope you enjoyed it.

Hi, my name is Alejandro. My souvenir is a fountain pen. I got it in a march. It is special because you can see different things inside. One time I saw a kind of dragon and it looked pretty neat.
The funny thing about it is that at first it wasn't mine. This guy said he had lost it so I went to find it. When I finally did he said it wasn't his so I just kept it!

Hello, my name is Amy. My souvenir is a key chain that says Las Vegas. The piece in the middle can turn. My uncle bought for me. He gave to me when he went to Las Vegas over the winter vacation. It is important to me since I never went there. I know my parents went there when I wasn't born yet. Now I at least know what it looks like. Also, I want to go there too. I chose this souvenir because I learned a little about Nevada from it. It is very exciting to learn and see a little of Las Vegas. I want to see if it is really a great and magnificent place. This key chain is important to me since my little cousin was there. She told me she had a magnificent time. That is all about my fascinating things about my souvenir.

My Souvenir by Candace 5-304

My Souvenir by Caraline 5-304
My souvenir is a ring. I went to Florida and my mother took me into a gift shop and she bought it for me.
I chose my souvenir because I like to see the different colors it turns. The amazing thing about my souvenir is that it does not really tell your mood, it changes color if the temperature changes.
I really like my souvenir because it reminds me of my mom. I also like my souvenir because when people see it they ask me what kind of mood I am in.
My ring changes different colors. It can change red, orange, blue, green, and brown.
I love my souvenir! Don't you think it is interesting?

My Souvenir by Chineke 5-304
My souvenir is from Orlando, Florida. When my mom's friend invited us to Disney Land over the summer we decided to go. When we got off the plane from New York to Florida I wanted a notebook to write about our stay. When I bought the notebook I decided to save it for the school year coming up. That's all about my souvenir!

My Souvenir by Cierra 5-304
My souvenir is from Florida. It has a boat and snow. Every time I shake it, it snows on the boat. It's kind of new because I got it when I was 6 and now I'm 10. That means it's 4 years old. I originally bought for my mother. She looks at it everyday. It's always in her bedroom, on top of her television stand. She loves it 50% less than my sister and I. I love her for that!

My Souvenir by Raquel 5-304
Hi, my name is Raquel. I go to P.S. 279, in Brooklyn, New York. I have very nice souvenir that I got in Boston, Mass. My souvenir is very special because it reminds me of the vacation I took in Boston. It is a key chain, and it is beautiful. It has the sunset, and it shows one of Boston's harbors, along with many elegant sailboats.
I got the souvenir because when I went to Boston on my vacation two years ago, I went to the gift shop in the hotel, and bought the key chain. It is the perfect souvenir. I love it and I hope you do too!

My Souvenir by Richard 5-304
Hi, my name is Richard Cheung. I came from China. I came to America to go to P.S. 279. My computer teacher told my class that we had to bring a souvenir. As a result, I brought in my night spyer. This night spyer is very important to me.
This souvenir came from my great, great, great, great, great grandfather. This night spyer was passed on and on for many generations. Now it is my turn to play with it. When I grow up, I will pass it on to my child or my favorite child. Did I ever tell you that this object came from a place that my great, great, great, great, great grandfather went to? If I didn't, I just did!

My Souvenir by Kayla Piper 5-304
My souvenir is a Minnie Mouse magnet. I got this souvenir from my mother. My mother got me this souvenir for me from when she went on a business trip to Florida. I missed her so when she came back and gave it to me I always keep it close to me. This magnet is very special to me because of that reason.
Another souvenir that I would like to write about is my 10 carat ring. My mom and dad got it for me on Christmas and I keep it on my finger all the time (247). I love this souvenir the most because they usually don't trust me with things so valuable like this. That is why these are my two favorite souvenirs.
