School Assignments

Brad's 4th grade assignment was to "write about something you wonder about."  He wrote:

I think days are peculiar.  I mean how did they decide how many hours in a day?  I have been wondering since I was five.  My sister has been wondering the same thing about the days in a year.  She said it is such a random number.

For Tannis's 3rd grade assignment, the teacher asked each student to bring a stuffed animal to class since they were reading The Velveteen Rabbit.  (Tannis brought a stuffed wolf.)  Their assignment was to write a story about their stuffed animal.  Tannis wrote: 
  

One day I fell off the shelf and I got hurt!  I came to life!  First I realized I was a real wolf! I went to my owner's room and jumped on the big purple bed.  Then I went to see if the other animals were alive.  But they were not.  I chewed up all of my owner's Barbies.  Next I went to the living room to roll on the carpet.  I found the dog and I hopped on him!  Finally my owner called my name and looked for me.  My body froze.  I was stuffed again.  It was good being alive.
