The Cat That Got Stuck Up In A Tree

Long ago, there lived a family with two children. The two children's names were Emily and Harry. They both  loved watching TV and playing board games. They had an adorable kitten named Mittens. Mittens followed anyone she saw.
One day, the two children went to the park to play so Mittens followed them. She saw a gigantic tree. She saw a dog coming straight towards  her but she had nowhere to go so she quickly ran up the tree. Mittens did not realize how naughty she was going to the park. 
One second the children saw a cat in the tree. They just realized that it was their cat. Emily and Harry ran home to tell their parents so they got a ladder. They ran back to the park to get their cat down. They put the ladder up gently and safely got their cat down. The family was cheering saying Hurrah Hurrah!!!!!!  They went home and celebrated with a delicious blueberry pie.
Well done, Laekin. You have followed the structure of a narrative - orientation, followed by events leading to a problem, then events leading to the solution, and you have used descriptive words in your story. You described the tree as gigantic and the blueberry pie as delicious (adjectives) and you described how Mittens ran up the tree - quickly - and that they put the ladder up against the tree - safely and gently - (adverbs). Add more adjectives by describing Mittens and the dog.

Holy Week

On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey that had never been ridden before. People were shouting out, saying, "Hosanna to the king."
Next, it was the Last Supper. Jesus and his friends were having a meal together. Jesus held up the bread and thanked God for it. He said, "This is My Body," then he shared it with them. He held up the cup, thanked God for it, then said, "This is My Blood." He shared it with His friends.
