Student Writing
Germ by Abby Gr. 2
I drew a germ. The germ is green and red. I have a strip of red. A girl went to the bathroom. She didn’t wash her hands. That is how she got the germ. She got sick 3 days later. She was sick for two weeks! The next week she was not sick. She learned a lesson. Always wash your hands!
My bird by Willow Gr. 2
I have a bird named Robin. He is a robin. He has green eyes and a gray body. That is really what a real robin looks like. Robin can fly really far. He can spread his wings really far apart. He loves to eat worms. It’s gross. I can’t stop him from eating them. Okay I will tell you how I got Robin. On Monday, I was walking in my yard. I saw robin in a rope. It’s leg was stuck in the rope. So I untangled the knot and kept him. He loved me! I feed him every day even some treats. I played with him every day and gave him a cage. It was not boring. It was so fun for him. He was soooo cute! I love him! He is the best pet a girl could ever have. He is soooo strong he could lift me up because he is soooo big! I love him. The end!
