Happy Thursday!

For today, I want you to write me a story. I want you to write me a true story about something that you did yesterday. You see, when something happens to you, whether it is big or small, if you have lived it, you can write about it with feeling. The person reading the story can feel exactly how you were feeling and what was happening while you were experiencing whatever it was. Just a simple story. (a small and focussed moment) Don't forget all of the things a good story needs! Here is my small moment story.

Last night Danya made my absolute favorite meal for supper! I could smell it as soon as I opened the door. I was so happy to go up to the kitchen to see what was cooking. 

As I walked up, I could see the pizza pan and the ingredients on the island. There were green pepper, pepperoni, onions, salami, hamburger, cheese and ham. I was so excited watching her get it all together and ready for the oven. I could almost taste it. My mouth was watering as she put it into the oven.

I waited on the chair impatiently while it cooked. She told me all about her day and I told her all about mine. I could smell that beautiful aroma of rising crust. I was starving! I could hardly wait.

The buzzer went off and she took the pizza out. she cut it into 8 pieces. We set the table and then we sat down to eat. The smell fileld the air as she put the pizza onto the plate. I sunk my teeth into the first bite. It was absolutely delicious. She had made one of the best pizzas that I had ever eaten.

You see, you don't have to have a complicated subject. You just have to tell soemthing true. If you have lived it and you can talk about it, you can write it. 

Try this game after you are finished. It will remind you to remember to use your punctuation and capital letters in your writing.

For writing today, write about a time that you were scared of something new. Something that you knew was coming and you were uncertain about. Was it actually scary or did it turn out to be ok? Was it ok after you had the experience or was it as bad as you thought? You should write at least 5 good sentences.  (remember to end your sentences)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdCOswMeXFQ
