Student Guest Blog, Week 3
Hello, Philomath community! It’s hard to believe there are only two more weeks of school until the end of the quarter. That means virtual school families will be getting progress reports in the near future, likely during our Spring Break (March 13–17). Tuition payments for the third quarter will be due by Sunday, March 19th.
Here is our third guest blog, written by sixth grader Jeremiah Dessources. We’re also thrilled to share the winning story from our February Story Contest (written by fourth grader Jake), which is located right below Jeremiah’s blog post. Happy reading and happy spring!

Robbin the Sentient Rock: Earthtime Pt.1
Robbin said goodbye to Katy Crossbones as he boarded the rocket ship to Earth. The doors closed, everyone standing by was safe from the blast. There were glass shields that were made to withstand even the impact of a rocket ship going 200,000 miles per hour. Robbin was headed to Earth.
As every minute passed Robbin missed his mom more and more but he had to get to his brother. Then Robbin remembered that his friend Ben Quantum was on the ship with him. A few minutes later an alert popped up that said; “Alert, alert please get ready for landing. You have approximately 2 minutes. 1:59, 1:58-” and after a little bit they were in a sandy desert on Earth.
Chapter 2:
Robbin and Ben walked together for a few minutes in different directions to try and find life, but they were unsuccessful.
Then they got the emergency jetpacks out of the spaceship and flew up with binoculars to try and find any signs of life nearby, that was also unsuccessful. They only had one more option: to fly back up into space and try to land again. When they were getting out of Earth's atmosphere it started to get very hot and then the spaceship started rumbling and shaking.
Ben said; “Robbin, I don't think this thing was designed to go out of Earth's atmosphere, only in.”
“Well, there's only one way to find out,” said Robbin.
And so they did.
Much more rumbling happened and a few seconds later they made it out of Earth's atmosphere, now the hard part was getting back down in a different spot.
“Ben, I think we’re in a good spot to turn the engine off.”
The spaceship started falling and as it got closer and closer to the ground, Ben and Robbin realized that they were going to fall on a house!
Chapter: 3
“Ugh, Robbin are you okay?” said Ben.
“Y-yeah I think I am,” said Robbin
“Where are we Robbin?”
Suddenly there was a knock on the spaceship, Ben and Robbin opened the door. It was Robbins' brother!
Robbin said; “Uh.. this is awkward, is this your house?”
“Yes, my name is Dobbin.”
“I know that, I'm your brother. Why did you want to explore Earth and why did you leave when our parents fell into the volcano?” said Robbin.
“More importantly, why are you in a spaceship on my roof?” asked Dobbin.
“I’m here to find you. Did I do something wrong?” said Robbin.
“Yes and no. The yes is you crashed into my house, the no is you not doing anything wrong other than that,” said Dobbin
“Well, we’ll be here for a while,” Robbin and Ben said in unison.
“Yeah, our spaceship crashed as you can see,” said Ben.
“Oh brother.” said Dobbin
The End
Earthtime Pt: 2 coming in April because I'm doing a little special thing for March ;)
