The Funny Dance personal narrative

I remember when my dog Murphy was really little. She was only two or three years old.
It was on Christmas. My dad put on some Christmas music and Murphy put her paws
up in the air and started swirling around in circles. Then she put her paws on my dad’s
hands and they started dancing together. It was very funny, and my dad thought that
Murphy was a good dancer!

personal narrative
One day it snowed like crazy! So school was cancelled. I had Amy over to play. We
decided to go sledding. So we started to slide down the hill. We sledded for a long time.

One time we decided to go down together. Amy sat in the front seat and I sat in the
back. We started to go down the hill. Then CRASH! We ran into a bush!

Amy went flying and I got my feet caught in the bush! Amy looked like a spider caught in
its own spider web. I had a lot of fun that day, and I will never forget it!

Dear Ms. Nathan,

You put hearts in the envelope!

You look great in the picture! Wow, traveling to Yosemite Park sounds cool. And it’s
nice you and Dr. Nathan are doing something special every weekend.

That’s great that you are playing the Mozart Concerto in C, even though you are playing
an easy version. Yes! I am proud of you. I am in Level 3 in piano.

Morse School is really looking great. They are almost done remodeling. I wish you could
see it. I think we’ll get to move back in soon.

My new teacher is Ms. Porter. Many of the kids you had last year are in Ms. Porter’s
class.

Please write back and tell me about California.

Fondly,
Andrea

P.S. We had a lot of snow, about 17 inches.

Plastic, Paper, or Cloth?

We have a big decision to make. We can use cloth, paper, or plastic bags. I choose
cloth because paper uses trees, and plastic uses petroleum; so we should use cloth.
Cloth bags are easy to take with you and use again and again. We need to keep our
earth clean, so let’s use cloth. Remember, recycle and reuse.

How to Make Boiled Eggs

Materials: a pan, hot water, one or more eggs

Step one: Pour the hot water into the pan and let it boil on the stove.

Step two: When that’s done, put the eggs into the boiling water.

Step three: Let them sit for about 10 minutes. Take the eggs out. Let them cool for
about 5 minutes.

Step four: If they’re still hot, let them cool for about 3 more minutes.

Step five: Get a plate and a spoon. Peel off the eggshells and eat the eggs with a little
salt and pepper.

That is how to make boiled eggs.

Cheetahs research writing

You should never race a cheetah. Do you know why? Because you'll always lose.
That’s because cheetahs are very fast runners. They can run up to 75 miles per hour.

The cheetah gets its food by running. But sometimes the lion takes over and grabs the
food. That's mean!

Cheetahs are carnivores. That means they eat meat. Their prey are gazelles and
rodents. The cheetah lives and finds food in Africa.

The cheetah and the lion eat each other. If the cheetah is weaker, the lion eats the
cheetah, and it's the same with the other.

The cheetah has up to three to five babies. The cheetah has larger litters than other
cats, but on average only two cubs live into adulthood.

Cheetahs are amazing. I hope you like cheetahs. I know I do!
