Week 1 – Finish the Story

Story Starter: Tim and Sally received a new sled for Christmas one year. They waited and waited for the snow to fall so they could use it. Just before they went to bed one night, they saw snowflakes fall. When they got up the next morning, snow had fallen on everything. They got on their warm clothes and…

went outside. They played in the snow and made snowballs and threw them at each other. They sat on their sled and thought. They were thinking about going down a big hill. And they did! The hill was a little bit far away from their house. They walked to the hill. It was a long walk. But they were happy to go on a long walk because they were so excited to go sledding. They climbed up the hill and went down 10 times. They went down the hill so fast that they bumped into a rock. Their sled got broken. Tim and Sally went back home to tell their mom and dad that their new sled was broken. They were sad because their sled broke. They were tired from climbing the hill 10 times. But they were happy because they went down the hill 10 times.

The end.

Week 30 – Synthesis

Dolphins are my favourite sea animal. When the mama has a baby she pushes it up to the top of the water so it can breathe. This is how it learns to breathe. Dolphins don’t have gills like fish, so they need to go the surface to breathe. Next, they teach their babies how to find food. Dolphins stay together as a family and take care of each other as a family. If one of the dolphins gets sick, the other dolphins in the family help to take care of it. I love how dolphin families act like people families!

Week 29 – Story-Starter (A Hole in the Yard)

Once upon a time a little girl named Emmalyn stood with her dog named David. They saw a spiral thing with a hole in the bottom. They stood under the hole and it sucked them up in the space! She wondered how she would ever get back to her mom and dad. Just then kind astronauts let her come into their rocket and promised they would bring her back to her mom and dad. Emmalyn was very thankful. Think of it! Riding with astronauts! She was so excited. As soon as she got back to earth they promised to bring her back as soon as they got directions. Finally they found out how to get to her house. When she got home she thanked the astronaut. The end. 

Week 25 – Describe

Sushi is my favourite food. it is made out of fresh raw salmon, very sticky sushi rice, and crispy green seaweed. It may sound bad but is very good. And when you dip it in the black salty soy sauce it tastes even better. It’s made in the little rolls. So I hope you can see if yourself why it is my favourite food.

Week 24 – Persuade

Mom, may I please have Sushi? It’s all the children’s favourite food. I will help make it and clean up. Sushi is very healthy and will help us grow stronger and stronger. With sushi we will always eat it quickly and there will be no leftovers to put in the fridge.
If we get sushi I’ll be thankful and sweet and do all my school work without complaining (especially my copy work). I know both you and daddy like it and I will do all the dishes.
Sushi is very good! Please can we have sushi!

Week 23 – Narration

Once upon a time there was a girl named Birdie. She lived in Florida. She was 10 years old. One day she was playing with some neighbor children, Essie and Zephy, and her little brother, Bunny. They had made little doll houses in the woods and ran off to go play there. Just then, Birdie’s dad came and asked her to paint the house white. So she went to go paint. Pa left to go work with her older brother. She painted for a bit, then she smelled smoke. She went to go see what it was. She saw that it was a grass fire right near her house! Her ma told her to get wet sacks and so she went and did as her mother told her. One of her sisters went to go get a bucket of water. When she came back, her mother told her to go ask their neighbors, the Slaters, for help. The Slater boys said they would be over soon, but they did not mean it. They did not want to help. Their Pa had started the fire! She went back home. Pa and her brother came back and helped put out the fire. Birdie remembered that the little children were playing in the woods. She told her Pa, and they both ran to the woods. They found the children, crying and very scared, but they got them out safely. They cleaned up the children and sent them back home. Birdie was glad that the children and their house were safe.

Week 19 – Travel Journal

When I went to China, I saw pandas, and I ate shrimp. The shrimp was so delicious. I saw the emperor go and move around on a mat attached to four poles carried by four men. The emperor was wearing a beautiful yellow robe and a little special hat that matched his robe. I danced, I went to parties, feasts, and festivals. And when I walked by the food shop I smelled appetizing smells, and my mouth watered. I took a break from my walk and got some food.   I ate shrimp,eels,and I drank tea.  When I continued on my walk, I heard tons of people talking in Chinese, and I learned some Chinese myself!

Week 19 – Story Starter

Once upon a time there was a girl named Emmalyn who wanted to go to Edmonton to see her grandparents, but her family left without her! It was just an accident, but she hoped her family would notice she was gone and come back to get her! Unfortunately, they did not notice.

Emmalyn waited and waited and waited. She thought, “If only someone could take me there.”

She noticed a goose nearby and the goose understood that Emmalyn wanted to go to Edmonton. So the goose said, “Hop on my back and I will take you to Edmonton!”

So Emmalyn hopped on the goose’ back and it only took two hours to get to Edmonton. When Emmalyn’s family saw her they said, “Emmalyn, why are you outside? We’ve been looking for you!” Emmalyn opened the door and told them about her journey.

The end.

Week 17 – The Big Race

Zach and Josiah were in Kenya when they spotted two elephants! Josiah started running toward the elephants, and Zach followed. Each of them killed one of the elephants by using the guns that they had brought with them from Calgary.

Josiah said, “Let’s see who can eat their elephant the fastest.”

Zach said, “OK, let’s do it!”

Josiah and Zach started eating. They ate and they ate and they ate! Zach began to get full and started slowing down. Josiah had already finished half of his elephant but Zach had only eaten a quarter of his elephant. But they continued on and each ate another quarter. Then Zach ate another quarter and looked at Josiah’s elephant. Josiah was already done!

Zach said to Josiah, “you win.”

Josiah said, “Thank you!”

Zach still finished his elephant. Then they both went to find a drink of water and a place to rest after such a big race.

The end.
