Em's story

Emily brought home her writing packet from school for the fall. It's really cute to see the mind of a 7 year old at work and what they remember. Here is one of her stories. 

Once Kyle and me were in my room picking out or clothes for the night. Then we need[ed] Daddy for something. Daddy I yelled. Daddy!! Kyle yelled. We asked Mommy if she knew where daddy was. She said she didn't know. So we went back to the stairs and picked out our clothes. Then we were going to turn on the shower and BOO!! screamed Daddy and jumped into the balcony. Kyle and me both fell to the floor in peals of laughter and tears. It was so funny.

At a farm the newborn / chicks go cheep, cheep, cheep. at a / stable the hose neigh, neigh. in / your friends house they have a cat / and the cat goes purr, purr at you and a  / monkey in the jungle goes ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah / robins in the zoo go / tweet, tweet. You can find / sounds everywhere you go. 

By Emily. Cats. Cats are cute / Cats can purr and meow meow they / say. Some are scardey cats too. When they / get made they go hiss hiss hiss. / Aat night hunting for mice there whiskers go / twitch twitch twitch.
