Monkey Business!

Students,

We have had some insightful conversations on our blog. We have discussed reading strategies, characters from our books, summarized our reading, and compared and contrasted different ideas. Phew! I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

Now, let's have a different kind of conversation  and give you all the opportunity to have some creative writing.  I would like about the following prompt:

Imagine that for one day only you could have a pet monkey! What would you do with you pet? What would you name him/her? What adventures would you two have? Please describe your day with your new friend.

Remember, students, to watch out for run-ons, and to write in complete sentences. I look forward to reading your comments!

You teacher,
Ms. B :)

  1. I would name the monkey Zack. I would like to watch him climb trees, and I would try to climb with him. Some adventures I would go on would be going on a hike. Another thing I would to with him is build a house in the trees. Also I would let him meet my dogs and see what they would do. Another adventure I would go on is going to the lake.

  3. If I were to have a pet monkey for a day I would have a girl and I would name her Ginger. She would first come to my house and I would show her around and make her feel at home. We would go and get ice cream. I would get Strawberry and Ginger would get banana. Then all of thew sudden my mom would surprise Ginger and I with a trip to New York!!! We would go to the American Girl Doll Store and Ginger would be so little she could fit in the American girl Doll clothing. She would look so cute we would get matching outfits and my mom would take so many pictures. Then we would go to a fancy resturaunt and we would get some awesome food there. She would get the banana meal and I would just decide on what to get. Then my mom, Ginger and I would get into a jet airplane that will go so fast that we would be in the rain forest in 5 minutes! Then all of Ginger's family would be there and we would get to meet them but then my mom and I would have to go and leave. I would give Ginger a big hug and then my mom and I would leave in our jet airplane. I would wave out of the window to Ginger and she would wave back and then we my mo and I got home I would tell everyone I knew that I got to spend the day with a monkey named Ginger.

When I first got Steve it was my birthday, and I was old enough to get a pet. my mom wanted a cat or a fish because it was simple I said "no."
