Homework: Wednesday, April 16th

Homework: 

Tell about a time where you had to do something you didn't want to do or something that you thought would be scary. Did you end up having fun or liking it more than you thought? For example:

MRS. NEWPORT'S STORY

 When I was younger my mom told me I had to join my younger sister and her friends for her birthday slumber party. At the time I thought I was too old to be hanging out with those "little" kids. I moped around and whined about how I didn't want to watch kid movies and tell scary stories with a bunch of first graders. My mom wouldn't let up though. At first I had a bad attitude. I was a big old grump. First the girls started reading spooky stories from a book one of them had packed. Some of those were actually really good and they even asked me to read some of the harder words. I guess that wasn't so bad. Then we got out all kinds of junk food. There was popcorn, chocolate, chips and even sparkling cider. The other girls started trying to throw the popcorn up in the air and someone else would catch it in their mouth. It looked like fun, but I just did not want to have to sleep with them. After a little while I gave in and started trying to catch popcorn that my sister was throwing in the air. Come to find out I was pretty good at it. After that, we took out an Uno game and decided to make a big fort that we could all sleep in. This was so much fun. Our fort was enormous and we could all sleep in it. We played Uno and then we painted out toe nails. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep and the smell of bacon was creeping into my nose. Morning had arrived. While I was eating my breakfast with my sister and her friends I realized that last night was one of the most fun filled night I had ever had. I'm so glad that my mom forced me to have some fun!

 Write about Remember to include a beginning, middle and end. 

You may not use the words THE END as your ending. Use proper capitalization, punctuation and spelling. Write neat and legible.
