TODAY'S TOPIC: July is national ice cream month. We asked what's your favorite ice cream.
My favorite ice cream flavor is Rocky Road. I love Rocky Road because it has hard and sweet marshmallows. I like my ice cream on a cone. I only like it on hot, hot, hot days. Rocky Road is the best ice cream ever!

My favorite ice cream is colorful and really flavorful. It's shiny and sometimes it's gooey. My yummy ice cream is really smooth and it's fruity. You can really smell the flavors of the ice cream. The flavor is rainbow!

My favorite kind of ice cream is coffee because it tastes really good. Sometimes my mom doesn't buy me coffee because then, in the night, I won't sleep. The other kind I like is rainbow because my mouth gets colorful and my tongue, too. They are so delicious.

My favorite is vanilla. I like it cool, cold and in a cup. I like it because it's sweet, smooth and because it's so delicious. I also like it with Hershey syrup but I don't like it with whipped cream, nuts or the red thing. My favorite on the ice cream is a cherry.

My favorite ice cream flavor is Jamoca. I love it because it is so delicious and tasty. I like it on a sugar cone. The color is light brown. It's very frosty. It is so sweet and that's why I love Jamoca.
