Aunt Jill’s Farm
Aunt Jill has a piece of land in the country. When we go see her, we help her
farm the soil. The ground can be rocky, so digging is hard. We plant the seeds
and spray them with water. After they get bigger, we can dine on them!

Our New Kittens

Over spring break, our cat had kittens. They were tiny, and they made

squeaking sounds instead of meows. She licked their faces to keep them clean.

They stayed in a basket until they were big enough to jump out. Mom says that we

can keep only one. It is hard to decide which one!

Flying a Kite
When my father was a boy, he flew kites. He and his brother took a ball of
string and some narrow wood. They cut the wood into a square. Then, they glued
colorful paper on it. Finally, they tied a tail on the kite. The kite would fly up in
the sky!
