DeleteThe mouse is in the cup because if you look behind him there is cat.Cats eat mise so that is why the mouse is in the cup.By Abigail
ReplyDeleteOoohhh.... I like where you were going with this, Abigail! Very nicely done! I want you to work up to be able to write 4 sentences about one idea. Look at the photograph and tell me more. What other ideas can you get from it to help you elaborate your point? You are on the right track though! Keep working hard!
DeleteAbigail, I think you had a good eye when you saw that cat. I think you have a good comment! I agree with you because cats do eat mice. If I would have seen the cat I would have wrote that as one of my ideas. Are you going to go farther and write more? I really hope that you are! Try as hard as possible. Keep pushing yourself to the edge! Good luck! By Kendyl

I think the mouse is in the cup because there was cheese in the cup. The mouse could have possibly smelt the cheese because mice love cheese. I got that idea because in the picture the mouse is eating cheese in the cup. I also have another idea! My other idea is that someone put some cheese in the cup to trap the mouse. I think that their plan might be to get the mouse in the cup by putting cheese in the cup. When the mouse was in the cup they might put a lid on the cup or flip the cup over. My third idea is that someone is doing an expirement. I don't know what kind of expirement they might be doing but it's possible that they could be doing an expirement. As I was writing I realized how my answers go together in some ways! - By Kendyl H.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!! You got it! I love this! While you are doing a wonderful job, we always want to improve. Can you tell me how your answers go together? You are rockin' this!
DeleteI think my answers go together because when the mouse smelt the cheese that could be a trap and the trap could be an experiment. By- Kendyl
DeleteGreat job, Kendyl! I love how you are seeing how you can improve your writing each and every day!

DeleteYou are on the right track, but I am having a hard time understanding some of your thoughts. Many of your "sentences" are not sentences.

I love your thinking on those! Keep it up! You can do this!
