We are Family!

Dear students,
Our blog is a place to write about different topics and share our ideas. Today you will have the opportunity to write about a special family member.
If you could spend an afternoon with one member of your extended family, who would it be? Please explain why you chose this person and tell what you would do together.
Your paragraph must…
  • be at least 5 sentences long
  • written in complete sentences
  • use M.I.N.T.S.
  • have a topic sentence and supporting details

Here is an example of an advanced/proficient  comment:
If I could spend a whole day with one family member, it would be my grandfather. Even though he is not alive, he is close to my heart. In the morning, we would eat ice cream and cake for breakfast. We would laugh and talk until Disneyland opened for the day. We would rush over and ride all of the rides non stop. I would wear a shirt that said, " Laugh more, Cry less!", and everyone would stop to compliment me. My grandfather, also known as Grandpapa, would be wearing a clown hat with shiny black wingtip shoes and a bright orange shirt. He would go around making people laugh, and he would be laughing himself. Then, we would go to the zoo and pet every single animal we could. When the guards weren't looking, we would feed the animals our cotton candy and chips. Finally, for dinner we would have bacon and bananas with Nutella. We would sit on a hill and watch the sun set. Then, we would rent a hotel room for the night, and spend as much money as possible! That would be my day with Grandpapa if I could spend one last day with him.

Happy blogging,
Ms. Blackmon

  3. If I could spend one whole day with one of my extended family members it would be my cousin Evan. Here is what we would do. We'd go to Holiday World in Indiana. We'd get fast passes, so we wouldn't have to wait in lines. We'd go on a bunch of rides like the Voyage, the Legend, the Raven, the Epic and the THUNDER HAWK. We'd go on the Voyage three times , the Legend five times, the Raven eight times, the epic six times and the THUNDER HAWK sixteen because when I went there with all the boys in my me and my babysitter Will went on the THUNDER HAWK sixteen times.

  4. If I could spend a full day with one person in my family it would be my mom, because she is so caring and loving. We could go shopping together and eat lunch. We could even bake some treats, like apple pie! We would wait for the pie to cool and then dig in. We would finish eating and then we would watch movies and talk. This is going to be such a fun day, and I can't wait for it to happen!

  5. I would spend my day with my cousin, Bayard.We would wake up at 5:00 to go water skiing at our lake house. Then, we would go hunting for ducks,deer,and geese in the forest. After, we would eat brunch with the ducks we shot. My Mom and Dad would prepare it. They make the best in the whole town. Later, we would go alligator fishing and kiss the gators and watch them go waddling toward the water after we let them go at the shore. Finally we would go try to find the coyotes that live in the old crashed bus in the ditch and leave them pork and barbeque. But to top it off the whole 48 people at the house would go to the fire we started and eat hot dogs and marshmallows. I hope we do that this ThanksGiving.
    Comment below if you would like to do any of that stuff.

  10. If I could spend one day with a family member I don't see that often it probably would be my cousin Josh. He is eighteen so we don't have much to do, but if we were at our grandparent's house we would probably play Hogwarts with my brother and his sister. We both are in Gryffindor,so we probably would win. If we were at Disney World before we left we would eat all the bacon that our grandma made. Then when we got there we would ride all the rides since we both love roller coasters. Then I don't know about him, I would get him to buy me a churro, and he would probably get one for himself, so we would gobble them up. Then we would go back to our grandparent's rented house,and swim in the indoor pool and hot tub. Then we would go to bed knowing that we had an awesome day. that is the kind of day I would like to have with my cousin Josh.

  11. If I could spend a day with one family member it would be my littlest brother Max. Because if he does not know how to do something and, I can teach him it he is always up for it. For example, once I told him all of the NFL football teams and now he goes for every team. If I could send a day with Max the day would be a Sunday. It would be a fun day. Also if I can do something Max will want to try it even if it is jumping off the place in front of the TV onto the couch or jumping and almost splitting his head open. That is what I would do with Max. Plus one more thing do whatever we want and wreck the house.

  12. If I could spend one day with a family member, it would be my grandfather. [Grandaddy Craig] Even though he is not alive, I still love him very much. We would wake up early, and have a big breakfast. After that we would be doing something outdoors such as biking, hiking, swimming, or fishing. Once we are done playing outside, we would go out, and have a yummy dinner. When it is almost time to go to bed, we would watch a funny movie. All the time, we would be laughing and having fun. That would be the perfect day with Grandaddy Craig.

  19. If I could spend a day with someone in my family, it would be my Aunt Becca. She is very fun to be around, and she makes time to see and talk to me, even though she has three kids, two of which are still in diapers, the other six years old. If I could spend one day with her, first we would wake up before any of her kids were up, and then I would talk to her while she made breakfast, until we heard the cry of her youngest child, Ronin. Then I would go and get Ronin and carry him downstairs. After I brought him downstairs, I would occupy him until Aunt Becca had breakfast ready. Then Ramzy, her second youngest child, would cry for Aunt Becca, and she would go calm him down and bring him downstairs. Layla, Aunt Becca's oldest, would come downstairs, and we would eat breakfast together. I would help her clean up from breakfast, and then I would play with my cousins for a little while, and then help Aunt Becca put them down for their nap. Again I would talk and laugh with her. After an hour or two, the cousins would wake up. Aunt Becca could probably think up some thing for the cousins to do while I helped her make lunch. After lunch Aunt Becca, the cousins, and I would go outside and play for the rest of the day, having fun. This would be the way I would like to spend the day with Aunt Becca.

We would see lots of wildlife in the early morning. Then, we would go back to his house and play frisbee. When it got hot, we would then get in the pool for a while. By then, it would almost be time for lunch. Uncle Mark, who is really good at grilling, would grill a small turkey. Aunt Olivia would make deviled eggs and salad. After lunch, we would go to a Titans game. After that, we would play more frisbee, and play a version of frisbee golf, seeing who could get it in the firepit. After that, we would go out for dinner at Chewy's. When we got back home, Aunt Olivia would have made some of her delicious ice cream with extra toppings. That would be my day with a family member.
