We're proud to feature our students' work on our blog! Here are some short excerpts from Grattan Elementary's 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade after-school class:
Bridget
(Imagination: What if I had an evil twin…)
My eviel twin is so eivle…My twin even has a secret layer. Now I know I’m doing a lot of erers that’s because this is how she writes. (note: spelling errors were part of the story.)
Sophie
(Imagination: What if I had an evil twin…)
Her voice would be scratchy and she would be ugly. She would not be very polite. I would defeat her by turning her into a marigold…

There was a bunch of balloons floating over the mountains. The balloons could feel the wind blowing them south from California to Africa.
Jackson
(Sensory Details)
The loud hard fast rain came down. Like at the speed of light a drop hit the ground. “Plop!” like two planets crashing together.
Cecilia
(Imagination: What if I had an evil twin…)
My twin looks exactly like me, she has black hair like the night…she will wear the same thing that I wear and she will say, “did you copy me?”
Elanor
(Imagination: What if I had an evil twin…)
If I had an evil twin my twin would look exactly like me. She would always be turning herself into things like elephants, snakes and spiders.
Julius

Once upon a time there was mustard and ketchup and they told each other jokes and laughed all night long while governing in the white house.
Arly

It’s a clown. They call it a clown because he’s wearing all the wrong clothes in rainbow color.
Zoe
Once upon a time the cafeteria was noisy…the crash sounded like BOOM! Everybody stared at the alien spaceship and then the aliens threw a pie at me.
Kaya
(Looking Closely + Story)
A long time ago there was a magical bird who loved to sing. When it sang every one became punished but when it cried for help, everyone would become scared.
Natalie

When we get home she makes me clean her room. She cooks dinner and poisons mine…one night she extra poisoned my food and when wouldn’t eat it she told me she would eat it and got sick and when she got better she not evil anymore.

I like the outside of the dress and I also like the design. I think she looks nice and she has plastic on her because she’s deaf.
