Learning By The Way

Moriah, Samuel and Toby did some addition review, adding strings of single digit numbers. (Can strings of single digit numbers be fashioned into a mathematical necklace?)

I gave all the children a list of adverbs, adjectives, nouns, prepositions, and verbs to use in making a story. This is Samuel’s.

THE MONSTER UNDER MY BED

A stinky monster came out from under my bed unexpectedly one night! “I will put you in a pot and make you bubble.” he said hungrily.

“I will chase you and when I catch you I will tickle you with a feather below your ear!” I said in a lazy tone.

“Are you serious?” he asked in a suspiciously shrill voice.

“Yes.” I said.

Then he went away.

A spaceship landed very fast near my house! A stupid alien slowly walked down the ramp. He had fingers that looked like they could mightily tickle you, and poky hair. He crabbily spit on the sidewalk. He went in our house to throw out the oven! I told Papa and he got his gun. Right when the alien was throwing the oven in among the rest of the garbage, he killed it.

THE END

Here is Moriah’ word list:
ADVERB- gladly, shakily, suddenly
ADJECTIVE- long, mysterious, courageous
VERB- walk, think
PREPOSITION- down, off
NOUN- horse, policeman, ticket

Here is her story:

One day, I was walking down the road to my friend’s house. On the way, I passed a poster that said: THE MYSTERIOUS MEG!! Please come!

The poster also said that she would make a horse disappear! I told my friend about it. She said, “I think my mom can drive us there. ” The next day we turned off the lights and went. Suddenly, my friend started yelling gladly. “Go faster!” And her mom did, too fast. A policeman came and gave us a ticket. It cost so much we could not get tickets to see Mysterious Meg.

It wasn’t long until my birthday came. When I came in the house everybody yelled “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANN!” And there was Mysterious Meg, looking courageous and wearing her long cape. “Thank you.” I said shakily. We had a wonderful party.
