Posted in Miranda

 

Dingling, dingling. Sarah's fake gold clock went off. Sarah got out of bed and turned the clock off. She got into her blue calico dress. It was her favorite dress because it matched the blue in her eyes. She looked in the mirror as she brushed her long brown hair. She heard her mom calling her to breakfast. Sarah walked down the stairs. She was excited when she saw her breakfast. Bacon and ham, her favorite. Her mouth started to water. Then her brother James walked in the front door. It startled Sarah and she turned her head to look what was so loud. Sarah, come on your late for school. Oh no Sarah said, I forgot about school. Sarah jumped up, she grabbed her books and ran to the buggy. James got into the buggy too. When Sarah got to school the bell rang and she ran into the school.

She gets the stocking off the hedgehopgs head but then all the other animals went and put on Lisa's clothes from the clotheline so now she has bigger troubles.  The hedgehop is happy he got rid of his hat and thinks its funny that all the other animals have "hats" on and says "animals should never wear clothes".

3. My character is a 9 year old girl. Her name is Joy. She smiles a lot so you can see her sparking teeth but sometimes it makes people think she is up to something. Her red hair is short and curly so her mom puts barrettes in her hair to hold it out of her face. Joy hates her hair back because it makes her hair stick out and kids make fun of her. She likes to draw and paint. She hates bullies because they pick on her best friend McKenna who is only seven. She tries to protect McKenna and she tattles to the teaher and sometimes tells lies about the bullies to get them in trouble.  Joy tries very hard in school but she doesn't think she is very smart. She gets into trouble a lot because she talks so much. She is a kind girl that tries hard to think of others and she loves her family very much.

4. a. shocked b. bored c. frightened

5.

There once was a girl named Alice. She had brown hair. One day she woke up droopy eyed and yawning. She stretched out her arms and rubbed her eyes to get the sleepies out. She went downstairs to get breakfast because her stomach was rumbling. She found that no one was there. She went to the living room and turned on the light. Her family was all there. They all jumped out and said surprise! Happy birthday!  She opened her presents. She got a new tan coat and bonnet. She had a big smile on her face and she gae her mom a bear hug and said thank you. Her mom told her she had another surprise for her, she was going to take her to town to her favorite ice cream shop.

Later in town Alice had on her new coat and bonnet and they went to the ice cream shop. Her mother bought her a large crunchy pink ice cream bar. Alice thanked her mom. Then they went outside and ate their ice cream as they walked down the sidewalk.

Lesson 7--Writing Cameras--Part 2

Posted in Miranda

It rained all week during our camping trip. There was thunder and lightning. It was very cold too. We huddled in the tent all week. The rain made a big puddle around our tent.

Katie was at the aquarium. She saw a scary shark swim by her. She jumped back from the tank.

I got assigned to find the ancient chest. I could  just imagine seeing the gold shiny coins and blue dazzling jeweled necklaces. The next day I went on my quest. It was exciting going on the quest but dangerous and scary too. When I went outside I jumped up and down again and again because I was anxious to get going. I saw the opening of the big cave in front of me.It looked cold and wet, but I clapped my hands because I was finally there. I went inside and saw something behind the rocks. It was the treasure chest. I found the lost treasure chest of the Ancients! It was an old, ,brown ,rusty chest but when I opened it I found all the jewels and gold I had imagined.

Lesson 6, writing cameras

Posted in Miranda

Dead words :like, fun,lots,then,got, get

My bedroom

I walk into my bright blue and green room. I admire my neatly made bed with the blue comforter. I share my room with my sister Bethany. Her bed has a blue and green comforter with three small square pillows and a huge hairy stuffed dog she just got from James after she was in the hospital. AS I sit in the padded green chair next to our green desk I look over and see the bright blue dresser the holds my neatly folded clothes. Ha ha. Above the dresser is a large round mirror that has a sparly green scarf draped over it. Our names are on the wall in block letters painted in blue and green. The are also many posters and pictures on the walls. There is a light tan carpet that I just vacumed that covers the floor. I like my room now but soon when Bethany moves out I will change many things and it will be my own room.
