Word Sort Paragraphs

Each morning the students are given a baggie or envelope of 20 words.  Then they sorts these words into four categories.  The categories can be based off of prefixes, word families, suffixes, etc.  After sorting them they complete other tasks.  The last task is to choose a certain number of words from their twenty words and create a story.  Here are a handful of stories from last week.

I had a bad day. First I fell on my knee and the bone got dislocated.  I went home and when I got there my little sister had mistreated all my toys. I told my mom but my sister disagreed with me and said I mistreated my toys. I wanted to go play Legos, so I built a huge tower. But I disconnected a piece and it fell down. When it got dark we watched a movie but I got disinterested and got sent to bed early. I hope that tomorrow will be a lot better.

I reread a handbook on how to paint a house and when I understood how to paint my house I started to repaint my house blue.  After I painted my house I read my daughter's  book she made, but it was unreadable because it was so sloppy so I could not read it.  Then it was time for school so I made a lunch for my daughter and put it in a bag, but the bag came undone so I resealed it.  After I dropped her off at school I got a message from my boss saying we had to build a house for a customer, but I disagreed because the customer was not that important.  After I got the phone call I picked up my daughter from school and we ate supper.  Then a little while later I put my daughter to bed.  After I put my daughter to bed I went to sleep too.  The next day when I woke up the same thing happened all over again.

The Museum

   Once upon a time there lived a little boy that was in prekindergarten.  He lived with his mother.  One day he told his mother that he was going on a field trip to the prehistoric museum in Africa.  His mother said only if I can go with you and the boy said that she could.  He asked his mother if she would sign the permission slip and she did.  So the next day at school it was time to go on the field trip.  They got all of their luggage and got on the bus.  The bus drove them to the airport.  Then they got on the plane and they got transported to Africa.  When they got to Africa they had to ride bicycles the rest of the way.  They were almost at the museum, but just as they were pulling into the bike parking lot the boy fell off of his bike and dislocated his knee.  Then the boy was crying and his mother took him to the hospital.  At the hospital the Doctors took an X-Ray of the boys knee and they found out that his knee was for sure dislocated. Meanwhile his teacher took his bicycle to a bike repair shop.  The people at the bike shop fixed the bike and the doctors at the hospital said that he had to have surgery.  So they called his mom into the doctors office and told his mom that he was having surgery.  So once the surgery was complete the boy was in A LOT of pain.  So once it was okay for the boy to go home his mom took him to La Pentola restaurant in Africa and the got chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles.  Then his mom carried him back to the museum.   At the museum there was a bus waiting for all of the students to get on it.  Then the bus drove them to the airport and they were transported back to the United States and they got back on a bus and drove home.  When they got home the mom wrapped the boys leg and elevated it and they fell asleep.  From that day forth the boy never rode a bike.

My House                      Miya and Angelina

    This is what goes on in my house. When I wake up in my new house we have breakfast. In the kitchen my mother is making eggs, toast, and bacon. After I eat I brush my teeth. Then I take a bath. After that I help my dad reseal the cracked walls. When it's all dry we paint the wall. Everytime we paint the walls we disagree on the color. When it's 7 o'clock we have dinner. Sometimes the dinner is steak, but other times it's a lot of mash potatoes with gravy. When it's 8 o'clock we all go to sleep. The next morning I do the same thing as before. When it's time to reseal the walls we put away all of the empty boxes. Normally our house is untidy but my brother rearranged  everything. When it's time to go to Walmart, in the car my sisters always unlock and lock the doors on me. Then we go home and everyone digs in the shopping bags for their new clothes. We hope you treat your home nicely with lots of care like we do.

Bradyn and the Misbehaving Cat

One day Bradyn went home on a bus and he fell deep asleep.  He dreamt about his unhappy cat that didn't want a bath.  The cat would not stop scratching Bradyn and he got scratch marks all over his arm.  Then Bradyn called  his mom for help. There was no answer because she was unreachable.  Bradyn went into his room and slammed the door.  He was very very unhappy because of his cat.  When he went into his room he stepped on his toys.  Then he realized his room was untidy so he cleaned it. The cat was on the ceiling scratching the walls.  Bradyn was supposed to watch the cat.  Then his mom came home from work and saw the ceilings and walls.  Then he thought he was so unlucky.   When Bradyn woke up in the bus he realized he was unharmed  and was glad he was safe.

The Unhappy Man

Once there was an unhappy man. The man was unhappy because everyone he saw disappeared even his family. He thought the people left him because his house was not painted perfectly and was untidy. Then he repainted  his house and cleaned it. After he finished he invited people so the people could look at his house. When people came to the man's house they were surprised how beautiful the house was. Unlike the other houses this one was the most beautiful house. When the people liked the man's house he was surprised that people would like his house. He thought that all the people just didn't like him because he was different but now the people knew that people that are different can be the same as them. When the man finally went back into his house he saw that the people were still in his house and the man's house was really mistreated. The man didn't care he just cleaned up the mess. Now the man knew why the people disappeared because of his house being untidy and not painted perfectly. Written by Owen
