Today and Yesterday

Today my Mom's friend Jody Ashley  is here. Darren's friend is coming too . He is going to de-bone a deer my Dad got. Yesterday, we got Carrie's award. She got a baseball bag and a sport gift card . Granny and Gramps left yesterday after he got his award.   It was a crystal apple and a bottom part for it to sit on. That is all for today.  bye

Anika

Once upon a time there lived a girl and her name was Anika. She lived in a small wooden house with her grandmother . Anaca made her grandma cookies every day.  One day her grandma grew ill and Anaca could not help her because she was too young.  She was only eight. Anika went to her cousins house and she asked her auntie for help.  "My grandma is ill and she needs your help. Can you help her please ?!!!"  "Okay, Okay. I will." They went back to Anika's house and her auntie helped Anika's grandma.  Anika made cookies and her grandma made her love notes and they lived happily ever after.   The End.

Today we went quading. It was fun and as soon as we got started I burst out laughing.  We went so fast my eyes started to water.  We went into the field and I saw two glowing eyes. It was two deer! We chased after them. They ran into the bushes.  After that we went to our grandma's to get ice cream!  Darren's made home made brownies. They're yummmy hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Cooey the Cow Finds a Friend

 

Cooey the Cow Finds a Friend

By Robin Jespersen

Grade 2 writing sample

*Assignment was to write a “transformation” story

 

 

 

There once was a plump Holstein named Cooey who lived in the middle stall of an old barn.  Each day she dined on juicy grass, crunchy hay and fresh oats.  Cooey should have been cheerful, but she wasn’t.  One Sunday while eating grass along the fence-line, Cooey saw the farmer rub his dog’s head and pet the dog’s fur.  In turn, the dog lifted his paw and patted the farmer’s thigh.  The farmer and the dog seemed to love each other.  A tear rolled from the corner of Cooey’s large blue eyes.  She thought to herself, “I need a friend.”  Around lunch, Cooey meandered towards four cows standing twelve meters from the main herd.  As Cooey approached them, they ignored her and kept eating.  The black one explained, “Do not disturb us.  We are busy eating.” 

Feeling unwanted, Cooey plodded towards the barn. 

The next morning as the rooster crowed, Cooey heard the pigs crowding, pushing, shoving and snorting all around the trough.  Inside the pig pen Farmer Mark watched and held and empty slop pail.  Silently, Cooey lifted the metal latch with her snotty nose; her hooves tiptoed behind Farmer Mark.  Gently, she tugged at his hair just above his neck with her human-like teeth.  He quickly turned around, and his mouth fell open when he saw Cooey the Cow. 

        “I am looking for a friend.  Would you be my friend?” requested Cooey. 

        Outside in the farmer’s yard, Cooey gave Farmer Mark the greeniest grass she could find and Farmer Mark’s teeth chewed and grinded the grass.  His lips stretched downward, his eyes squinted and greenish slobber drooled onto his suspender-pinned shirt.  Then he spat the grass on some leaves.  He shouted, “Yuck, Yew, gross! I can’t eat this!”  Seeing Cooey’s tears hit the hard ground, Farmer Mark asked, “Why are you crying?” 

        “Because you don’t like my food,” replied Cooey. 

        “How about helping me to slop the pigs?” stated Farmer Mark. 

        Cooey answered, “Yes, that would be great.  I have never slopped pigs before.” 

        Towards the barn Farmer Mark carried with each hand a five gallon plastic bucket.  With each step, the yucky liquid splashed over the rims.  Using his muscular arms, Farmer mark lifted one bucket and poured the contents into the trough. 

        No matter how hard Cooey tried, the handle of the bucket kept slipping away from her teeth until the bucket tipped.  The slop flowed down the gutter.  Suddenly Cooey had and idea.  They could stroll and chase each other in the field.  From that day on, they met every day and could be seen walking the grassy field talking and laughing.

Winter Makes Me Think

Winter makes me think of fun-filled ski-dooing.

Fun-filled ski-dooing makes me think of swerving sleds.

Swerving sleds make me think of rows of bare trees.

Rows of bare trees make me think of the weaving wind.

The weaving wind makes me think of the green toque protecting my ears.

The green toque protecting my ears makes me think of toast with melting butter and raspberry jam.

Toast with melting butter and raspberry jam makes me think of winter.

I am big and small.

I am a rabbit.  I am small, then i am big, now I am gigantic!  I am as big as a house!  I will shake the whole house and do everything I can to make you come out and play with me.  When you come out, I will jump with joy and the earth will shake and the trees will fall down, the lakes will splash and all the fish will come out.  I will be happy because the carrots shot out of the gardens and are falling from the sky!!!  We will go and sit and eat carrots on the grass.  Then you will go back inside.  I will go back home and go have a nice drink of carrot soup.  Goodnight!
