Grade 2A's (2002-2003)  Favorite Writings
Our school is implementing the 4-Blocks approach to reading.  One block is Writing.  Students are learning to use 4-Squares to organize their thoughts.  The following stories are favorites that students chose from all they had written so that they could be edited.  They worked hard on these stories.  We hope you enjoy them!
  In the play I am the dad.  The dad doesn't say anything.  The play is about a turkey named Bertie. The turkey is going to get eaten for Thanksgiving.  He dances for the king and queen.     Johnnie
 
 

                                                     Santa
Santa is nice to us.  He brings us a lot of gifts.  Santa loves you and me.  Everybody loves Santa.  If you believe in Santa he will bring you gifts.  Some people don't believe in Santa and some people do believe in Santa.  More than anything some people just like Santa but I love Santa.  He is my favorite person in the whole world.            Victoria
 
 
 

Deer and lions are very different animals.  Deer have hooves but lions have claws.  Lions eat meat, but deer eat grass.  Lions have manes but deer don't.  Lions have whiskers but deer don't.  I love both of them.           Dillan

Hi, I'm LeAyn and I dance.  I am going to dance in the Nutcracker.  And I'm going to be a mouse.  I have to dance on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  After the Nutcracker, my uncle bought me a real Nutcracker and my mom bought me the Spirit Movie.  I was also very, very tired.                     LeAyn
 
 
 

                                   Thanksgiving Vacation
One day I went to Douglas Dam and played with my dog named Foxey.  She was so tired when we got home because we had a blast.  That was fun!  I wish we could do it again but we didn't.  We worked the rest of the time.  I cleaned my room and the living room too.  It was really fun!  Then I helped clean my sisters' rooms.  That was fun too!                   Nathaniel

                                         Sheepdogs
Sheepdogs are black and white.  They help farmers.  They get the sheep.  That is why they are called sheepdogs.  They sleep in the barn with the other animals.  Or they sleep in the house.  In the morning the sheepdog eats breakfast.  Sheepdogs can be different colors too.  When a sheepdog is hungry it still has to keep on working.  The sheepdog wants to sleep in the barn tonight.                  Amanda

                                              Horses
I have four horses in the back of my house.  Sometimes I ride them because it is getting warm outside.  My horses' names are Joe-Joe, Aliki, Sugar, and Henry.  They are cute.  Henry is black.  Sugar is black with white on her nose.  Aliki is white.  Joe-Joe is brown and Joe-Joe is a fast runner.  Joe-Joe got hurt.  They all are cute.                                                    Brandy
 
 
 
 

                                                 My Dog
She got her name from how she looks.   She jumps so high she can catch the ball.  I think it is fun to her.  It is fun to me.  I laugh when she rolls over.  I had her for 5 years.  And she's pretty.  She just likes me.  She didn't like anyone else.  She just likes to play with me.  She is fun.  She jumps high.  She can jump as high as my daddy.  It is so funny that my mommy and brother and my other brother laugh and it made my granny and papa laugh.  It is just fun at home in South Carolina when I had my dog.  I could make her sing.  To make her sing all you had to do was whistle.  She likes me.                Nikki
