Week 9 – Imagination (the Vet)

One day, I was waiting in my vet office for pet owners and my dad came in with  his pet eagle. I didn’t know Dad had a pet eagle! My dad said that his eagle’s mouth couldn’t snap shut. The eagle’s name was Fred. I looked inside Fred’s mouth and I saw that something was holding it open. It was a rock shaped like a fish.  Fred must have eaten it because it looked like a fish. The rock had cut the roof and the bottom of his mouth and it was bleeding a little bit.  I pulled it out.  It stopped bleeding.  Now Fred can snap his mouth shut again. Dad said “thank you for helping my eagle” and I told him that Fred can only eat soft foods until his cuts heal.

Week 8 – Story Starter

Once upon a time, Abigail wanted to go and have an adventure in the middle of the night.  She walked down the road, into a forest. It was very dark, but she could see stuff because of the moon. She came to a clearing and then she sat down on the grass for a little bit. She heard some cracking noises, and it sounded like it was coming from behind all the trees. Abigail was scared because she thought it was a big bear but then she saw a little deer coming out of the trees and now she wasn’t scared. She liked the deer and wanted to bring it home. She decided to bring it home and see if the rest of the family wanted to keep it. When it was morning, she showed them the deer, and they wanted to keep it. The end.

Week 6 – Explanation

Today I’m going to help you make a grilled cheese sandwich. You will need bread, and cheese, and the sandwich press, and a knife. Plug in the sandwich press so it warms up. Cut a thin piece of cheese off the big block of cheese. Then take a slice of bread and put the slice of cheese on the bread. Then take another slice of bread and put it on the cheese. That’s called a sandwich. You put the sandwich in the sandwich press and close the press and open it up again when the green light turns on. Now you take it out and it’s a grilled cheese sandwich. You can have ketchup with it, if you want.

Week 6 – Instructions (Cooking Rice)

You will need a rice cooker and two rice cooker cups of uncooked rice grains.

1. Put the two cups of rice in the pot that goes in the rice cooker.

2. Cover the rice with water, up to the 3 line.

3. Stir the rice with your hands to get all the dirt off.

4. When the water gets murky, dump out the water slowly so you don’t lose any grains.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the water stays clear.

6. Fill the pot with water, a little bit past the 2 line.

7. Put the pot in the rice cooker and close the lid. Make sure the lid is locked.

8. Plug it in and press the switch to cook the rice.

9. Wait until the switch goes back to “keep warm” and then your rice is done.
