Week 15 – Be Persuasive

Dear Dad,

When it is summer can you throw puck and chains into the water? You know it makes us so happy and it also helps us to learn to open our eyes under the water and helps us to learn to dive for stuff. It also helps us to feel for stuff under the water because the chains are hard to see. (As for the pucks, you can see them.) Please can you do this?

Your son, Gabe

Week 15 – Finish the Story

Story Starter: Bill and Sue played together in the sandbox. They built roads for their cars and trucks. They added sticks as trees. Then, it began to rain.

The roads they built for their cars and trucks broke. It was a big, heavy rain that washed away all the roads in the sandbox. And they picked up their cars and trucks and ran inside. They were too scared that they ran inside and jumped into the bath to get cleaned up. When they were cleaned up, they dried themselves and then ran to the other room and jumped into their beds.

Week 15 – Our Busiest Day Ever

We have to wake up very early for church on Sunday. We have to eat breakfast quickly, get dressed, brush our teeth, and Mama has to fix our hair. Then we have to get in the car and drive to church. We then listen to Daddy’s preaching. When the preaching is over we go downstairs and eat lunch. Then we go back home, we take off our jacket and shoes, and then we eat dinner. Then we take a bath and go to bed.

The End.

Week 15 – Perfect Pet Story

The perfect pet for me is a pink, short-haired cat. It would follow me when I went to school and I would always try to stop it and say, “Go back home, I cannot bring you to school.” Then the cat would go back home and she would see that I was gone around the corner, she would come out and follow me. She loves me and always wants to be with me.

When I come home, I find a ball on the ground and I pick it up and I play with my cat. She tries to catch it but it drops on the ground and rolls and my cat runs and tries to get it. I also like holding my cat. I also love reading to her. Her favorite story is a story about cats. And my favorite story is about lots of Abigails. That’s why she is my perfect pet.

Week 14 – Personification

Once upon a time I heard a bug say, “Come out of your cocoon right now!” But the butterfly would not come out. Then the bug said again, “Come out!” But still the butterfly would not come out.

The bee called again, “Come out because I want to get in your home!” And the butterfly came out and said to the bee, “If you want my home, do you like honey?”

“Yes I do,” said the bee.
“What are you?” said the butterfly.
“I am a bee.”
“Are you sure?” said the butterfly.
“Yes I am.”
“Ok, I will fly away and you can have my cocoon if I can eat your honey,” said the butterfly.
The bee said, “Yes, and you can have my honey.”

The butterfly flew away and the bee went into the cocoon. When the butterfly came back the bee gave the butterfly some honey.

Week 14 – From Grid to Story

One day Big Penguin said to Small Penguin, “Let’s swim to the other side of the world.” Small Penguin said, “Yes we will!”

Small Penguin jumped into the water but the water was cold so he jumped out. But Big Penguin said “Boo!” so Small Penguin fell back into the water. Big Penguin went into the water too. Big Penguin and Small Penguin were in the water together.

Big Penguin got eaten by Leopard Seal! Polar Bear tried to bite Leopard Seal but to his mistake he bit Small Penguin. Polar Bear fought with Leopard Seal after that.

The End

Or, if you don’t want that, Polar Bear died from Leopard Seal.

Week 11 – Write Like You Talk

One day God told Joshua and all his soldiers and all his priests to march around the city of Jericho six times, once each day. And on the seventh day, march around the city of Jericho seven times. Joshua did exactly what God said. On the seventh day, on the seventh time they marched around. The priests blew their horns and the soldiers shouted as loudly as they could and the walls of Jericho tumbled down. The Israelite soldiers took over the city.

Week 11 – Living in Abraham’s Day

If I lived in Abraham’s day I would see camels, donkeys, goats, and sheep. It would smell stinky like the animals need a bath. I would live in a tent. Inside the tent you would see baby sheep and me playing with baby kittens. If you needed to make you, you need to make a fire outside your tent. There is no grocery stores so the boys would go hunt and get food for the girls to cook. When you go to sleep you hear camel grunts, and the sheep and goats saying “baaaaa” and donkeys saying “neigh.”
