Student Sample: Early Elementary

The Home News Report
by Michelle, 3rd grade writer

"We interrupt this program for a special broadcast. Apparently, someone has been sneaking around the cookie jar. And figure out how two dogs an cause a burst of laughter. Only on KOLO News at 6:00."

My friends and I had a playdate on a chilly winter day. They brought cheesy pepperoni and pineapple pizzas over. We filled our plates and left the rest of the pizza on the low table in the living room. We carelessly let the dogs in and left the living room to go eat in the kitchen. Later my Mom went in and screamed, "Duke!" I ran in to see what was going on, and the next thing I knew Duke was eating the pizza, and Bell was eating the box. Bell tripped on Duke's foot and Duke howled. We all started to laugh.
