PennyGoodfellow Posted December 3, 2023 Report Posted December 3, 2023 Hi everyone, welcome to Week 9!! I'm so excited at how much participation has been happening lately!! This week's theme is all about Winter Clothing - yes it is based on the Northern Hemisphere. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere what sort of weather are you having right now? What are you wearing? Please share with the class! Weekly Homework Art Activity: This week's art activity is to design your very own mitten! Trace your hand on a piece of paper, and then color/decorate it. Bonus points if you are able to turn it into an ornament or decoration! Writing Activity: Write a story about a small animal/creature that gets stuck in a mitten or winter hat! What happens, how do they get out? Coloring Please let Ms. Penny know if you have any questions! 1 1
Kimba Posted December 10, 2023 Report Posted December 10, 2023 I really loved the homeworks this week, thanks a lot Ms. Penny 😊 Writing activity: Hi I'm mint, a little white mouse. I'm living in a tiny hole behind a giant thing, where the humans hang their fur on. I wonder how they to do that. Some day, after a long cold night, I wanted to leave my nest and search for some food, but there was something in front of my hole. I tried to push it but it wouldn't move. After I tried a few times more I found a tunnel or something like that. When I crawled inside, I noticed it was soft and cozy and warm. Suddenly the tunnel had ended. It was a dead end. And so dark I couldn't find my way back out. I got scared and started to squeak. After a short while the tunnel began to shake and I felt really weird, like I would fall, but upwards not downwards. I squeak more, because I didn't know what was going on. But then something opened the tunnel over me and in the hole I saw a human face. I froze as a human paw reached in and grabbed me. The human lifted me up watched me in my eyes and put me back in front of my hole. After so much excitement I forgot what I wanted to do and laid back down in my nest to take a relaxing nap. 1 2 1
Quirky Posted December 11, 2023 Report Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Hi class! I am ...still learning how to make the pictures work but I do enjoy seeing yours. Here my story!! Once upon a time a little mouse was very curious. She would look all over not just for food but for little toys and things that made her little whiskers shake and her ears all happy. One day she was wondering around quite happily when her little nose perked up. Oh something smelled sosososo good. Her little whiskers said yes yes,she could fit and she started wiggling until her whole little body was in a big dark something. It was soft and smelled so good. She figured out that was her favorite human. He was always dropping little chips and Oreo crumbs just for her. But the walls were so soft, it covered her like a blanket fort with all the walls tucked in. Little mouse did not like the dark. Not one little bit. She started to panic and would try one wall and another in this silly hat but she was stuck good and proper. She decided shed close her eyes so the dark didn't matter so much. She would count her mouse steps and use her head to find the exit. Things got so much better when she calmed down and counted. She found that soon enough she had wiggled right out of that bathat. And when she opened her eyes, oooh there were cookies. Oreos and minty ones just just for her. Edited December 28, 2023 by Quirky 2

Great job on all of your work! I loved meeting Mint, he sounds like an adorable little mouse! 1

LilLamby73 Posted December 13, 2023 Report Posted December 13, 2023 I was born in what I later found out was a large mitten. The mitten was beautiful and multicolored filled with shapes and squiggly lines. None of the other woodland voles had such a gorgeous home. The mitten had blown into the woods and when Momma was about to have my 2 brothers and I, she stumbled on the lost and forgotten mitten and decided it made a wonderful nest. My name is Victor and I lived with my brothers Sam and Noah for the entire month of May. Sam and Noah both reached the good weight of 1 whole ounce, but I was always a little smaller and weighed only 3/4 of an ounce. Once day, Sam and Noah left our home to look for some food and I stayed behind. Momma had left just a few days before having declared us “full grown vole men”, whatever that meant. Suddenly I heard voices and then felt the whole house go up in the air! The voice said, “Look at this! Why, it’s the mitten I lost last winter!”. I was trapped! I didn’t know what to do! The giant voice from the universe declared it would take the mitten and throw it into something called a washing machine to be as good as new. I was petrified and did the only thing I could think of. I decided to pop my head out and introduce myself. Maybe if I explained it was now our home the voice would leave us alone. Just as I poked my head out and cleared my throat to speak, the voice (which belonged to a ginormous and very round head with a flattish face) screamed. The scream was so loud that it shook the heavens and me right out of the mitten. Thankfully I fell onto the soft leaves below. I didn’t care about my old home after that! That screaming alien thing could keep it. All I knew was that I was free. Now all I had to do was find Sam and Noah and tell them we needed a new home. They weren’t ever going to believe this story. 2
