Writing Class

Camryn has been focusing on her writing skills for the last couple months, with the help of the I.E.W. program. We decided to include a friend to join our writing lessons. Together, Camryn and Doris, have improved their skills and have become great friends. Here are a few of Camryn's paragraph assignments.

Shadows
Darkness was setting in. Lights hanging from poles turned on which stood by a tree that cast a strange shadow.

Wise Sayings
Once there was a young boy who found a pitcher full of nuts and he willingly reached in and grabbed a handful and tried to pull out his fist, but his fist was bulging so much that he could not get it out and he was unwilling to drop any of the nuts and he burst into tears. A nearby girl heard him and told him wisely, "if you will be satisfied with fewer nuts, than you would be able to get your hand free." Sometimes you must give up a little to get what you wish.

A Numerous Population
Dolphins migrate in the summer and the fall. During the fall they migrate south because they need to follow the food source. They consume fish, squid and cod. In the Spring, the dolphins mate and the babies are born a year later which means the females are pregnant for a year. Since they migrate to warmer waters, the babies are more comfortable. Dolphins continually migrate year round so they can mate, if they didn't then their numerous population would fail.

A Race to the Place
Books are exciting because you can have adventures when you read them. They are made with many words and printed on papers. The problem with loving to read is that when you reach the end of a wonderful book you will desperately want to read another one. Without extra books to read you will have to race to the library and get another one, which is not always convenient.
