I'm home with two sick girls, but they were feeling well enough for us to do some school things. After some math worksheets, we worked on stories. I had them find six common items and then they had to write a story. Our items were tennis shoes, puff (spacer they use for flovent medicine every day), a cup, scissors, toothpaste and toothbrush, and a headband. Here is their story:
Ena was spending the night with Lisa. Ena brought her toothbrush and toothpaste. She said, “Let's eat and drink.” They ate pizza and drank with cups all night long. They cut out paper airplanes with scissors. They went on a walk with their favorite tennis shoes. The next morning, Ena did her puffs, brushed her teeth and put on her favorite headband while Lisa was sleeping. Lisa got up and brushed her teeth and went downstairs for breakfast. She saw her friend eating and got her friend some oatmeal. The toys that were on the table were gone the next morning. Lisa asked, “Where are they?” Ena replied, “Your mom said to put them in the attic so that I would have a place to sleep.” Lisa said, “We were sleeping in the living room, not the kitchen.” Ena said, “That's what your mom told me to do.” Lisa was mad at Ena because her toys were in the attic. The attic was dusty and she didn't want her toys to be all dusty. Lisa and Ena got the toys out of the attic and put them in Lisa's room so her mother couldn't find them. Then they were happy.
