Occupation

MA's writing assignment this week was to write a dialogue. We decided for her to write about what she wants to be when she grows up, instead. Ah, the beauties of homeschooling. We'll write a dialogue another week.

These are things I want to be when I grow up: a stewardess or a baker or a part of Christian Women’s Job Corp.

I like serving things. That’s why I want to be a stewardess.



And, also, Mommy’s teaching me how to put together things that she’s making. That’s why I want to be a baker.

And my friend, Nathan, talked about being part of Christian Men’s Job Corp. Actually, my mom told him about it, because he talked about what he wanted to be when he grows up, and he talked about something like that. I want to be a part of Christian Women’s Job Corp, too, because it sounds interesting.

Similes

MA's writing assignment was to write three similes based on last week's writing assignment about dirt.

- It's as brown as chocolate.
- It's as grainy as sand paper.
- It smells as smoky as sausage.

A Piece of Dirt

MA was given the assignment of using her five senses to describe a piece of dirt.

I'm describing a piece of dirt right now. And I'm describing it with my five senses. It feels grainy, looks rocky. It smells smoky. It sounds windy. It takes yucky (don't worry; I didn't really taste it; I just imagined what it tasted like). I'm off now to describe a piece of sand.

She actually told me, "In parentheses, put..." :-P


(No, the picture doesn't have anything to do with the post other than being of the author, but I thought she deserved a picture with her writing, too, and we forgot to take one of her dirt...although I could still get one of what's left on the stairs from where she spilled it.)
