Week 26 – Fairy Tale Smash-up

Snow White meets the Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time a little pig went outside to get some apples for apple pie. And so he went out and he saw a big wolf so he went back inside. Their house was made out of wood and the door was locked so the big wolf couldn’t get in. And so the wolf stomped away angry.

The three little pigs took a walk and the big wolf came again. The little pigs found a brick house and they knocked on the door and somebody opened the door. It was Snow White! They were so excited! She let them in. She gave food to the wolf and he went away. Snow White made apple pie, they each had a piece. Snow White didn’t fall down because the witch that was so mean wasn’t there.

Week 24 – You are the Teacher!

Abigail is going to teach how to tell time.

1. Look at the clock.
2. If the long hand is pointing at the 12 the short hand points to the time it is.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 3, it’s 3 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 4, it’s 4 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 5, it’s 5 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 6, it’s 6 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 7, it’s 7 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 8, it’s 8 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 9, it’s 9 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 10, it’s 10 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 11, it’s 11 o’clock.
If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the 12, it’s 12 o’clock.

Abigail asked her student Emmy, “What time is it?”
Emmy said, “1 o’clock.”
Daddy asked, “How did you know that?”
Emmy said, “Because I listened to what Abigail said.”

Good job. You guys get a sticker.

Week 23 – Finish the Story

Original story:
Bob and his mother need groceries. They need bananas, bread, and milk. They get in their car and drive to the grocery store. Bob pushes the cart and his mother gets the food.

Abigail’s ending:
The grocery store didn’t have the food that they needed. Then they told the grocery store manager and she helped them find the food. Bob and his mother said, “We need bananas, bread, and milk.” The manager got the food for them.

They left the store and went home. They ate bananas, bread and butter and drank milk. That was their dinner.

The end.

Week 23 – An Odd Place to Surface

One day Nathan and Gabe were in the kitchen putting dishes away. They heard something in the living room. It sounded like something was dropping into their fishbowl. So Gabe looked around the corner and saw a diver!  But he was not a real diver.  He was a toy diver that was as big as Abigail’s hand.  Somebody had dropped him into the fishbowl and left him behind. Who did it?  It couldn’t have been Nathan because he was busy in the kitchen.  Mommy and Daddy were in the kitchen too, helping the boys. Sophia was in bed taking a nap. Emily would not do such a thing. Abigail must have done it! Nathan and Gabe asked Abigail if she dropped the diver into the fishbowl. And Abigail said, “Yes. I thought the diver wanted to have his boat back.” The boys were angry at Abigail. Then Emily said, “I put the boat in the fishbowl.” And the boys were angry with her too. They girls said, “Sorry” and the boys weren’t angry anymore and let the girls play with their Lego.

Week 22 – When I Was Sick

Last week, I was sick with a cold. Emily was sick with a cold, too. I had a runny nose a lot. Mommy and Daddy wiped my nose. They taked care of me. They also gave me a kleenex box that was empty so that I can put my used kleenex into it. That was wonderful because then I don’t have to go the bathroom to put my used kleenex in the garbage. I take medicine. The medicine helps you feel better. I do not like being sick. I won’t put my fingers in my mouth so that I won’t get sick.

Week 21 – Read-Aloud Summary (Lady and the Tramp)

This is a story about two very different dogs. Lady is a pet dog from a lovely family. Tramp is a street dog that saved Lady from a bunch of bully dogs. Tramp and Lady started to love each other. One day, Lady is caught by the dogcatcher and she is upset with Tramp because it was his fault she got caught. Tramp saves the family’s baby from a rat, so Lady and her family like Tramp and now he belongs to the lovely family too.

1B - LA - Week 36

Once upon a time eleven people were at the beach. It was night time so they made a fire. They were listening to music so they started dancing around the fire. To have fun, two boys started boxing. One boxer got a knockout. After a minute the guy who got knocked out got up. He started boxing another guy and he got a knockout. Then they stopped boxing because they didn’t want to do that anymore.
They setup a thing over the fire so they could cook food there. They cooked coconuts from the coconut tree. They ate the coconuts and it tasted good. After a little bit it was getting late so they put out the fire and went home.
