Once upon a time, a girl named Jessie lived in a big city near the ocean. Everyone in the city except her was busy. And because she had nothing to do, she snuck out of her apartment and went out. She walked and walked until she got to the ocean. Jessie began playing in the sand and watching geese in the water. When she wanted to lay down, she lay down and looked up and saw a huge bird in the sky. The bird came swooping down and picked Jessie up. She wasn’t bored anymore, now she was having fun. The bird kept flying in circles over the city. As she flew on the bird she could see almost the whole city. Then, the bird flew farther and farther away from the city until Jessie couldn’t see the city. Then, it started flying in circles again and the little girl was never seen again. The end.

She put place mats on the table. Bob got some peaches and washed them. He put the peaches into a bowl. Bob also poured milk into glasses.

Bob and Sue ate with their Mother. Mother said thank you. When they were done they took a walk. Then they went to the pool.
The End.
Week 18 – Synthesis
We did a bean experiment! We did it by putting a paper towel in a pasta jar that was washed and had no pasta left in it. We put water in the jar, and then we put beans in between the paper towel and the jar. The beans stayed up because they were squished against the jar by the paper towel. We waited a long time, I don’t know how many days, maybe four or five days. After those days we saw roots growing down from the beans and a little shoot growing up. Even when we tilt the jar, the roots still go down to get the water. So I learned from it that shoots grow up and roots grow down.
Week 8 – The Family Photo Album
Last week, I was playing with my sisters and brothers. We were pretending to be butterflies. We built cocoons out of blankets. We went under them and we pretended that we were caterpillars inside cocoons. Then we wiggled, put a hole in our cocoon, popped out and we turned into beautiful butterflies!
Week 17 – Race Notes
Once upon a time, Daddy and Gabe were going to a race track made of ice. When they got there they saw that it was a very long track. They put their skates on. The ice was very slippery because it had no snow on it. When they tried going on it they slipped a lot. They saw a sign that said “Big Race Today” then Gabe said, “Can we race, please, in the race that’s going to happen today?”
Then Don came. He said, “Whoever is going to have a race on the race track today, stay here, it will start soon.” When everyone was ready, Don said, “Ready… Set… Go!” And everyone began skating and slipping. When they got better at skating on the slippery ice they were all going really fast.
Daddy jumped on the ice to have fun. He jumped so high that he went over the walls of race track. He was trying to find a way back in while I kept on going to the finish line. When Daddy finally got over the walls I was already at the finish line.
Daddy was so impressed that I won. The end.
