I like to read a book before I go to bed each night. The tale is fun and full of brave kids on long wild trips. They go on trips and find lost maps in caves and old towns. I read one page and then one more till my eyes feel tired. The words are clear and the plot moves fast from start to end. When my eyes get tired I mark my spot with a thin red ribbon. I put the book on the shelf and turn off the lamp with care. I dream of the tale till the sun comes up and birds sing loud. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near. The day went fast and left us tired but full of good cheer. Mom smiled and said we did well and should rest a bit now. We made plans to do it all again when the sun comes back. Birds sang in the trees and the world felt calm and bright. We went to a pond near our home on a calm warm morning. The water was calm and full of fish and small green weeds. We sat on the bank and cast a line and waited with care. A fish bit the bait and we pulled it in with a quick tug. It was small and wet and slid in the net with a flip. We let it go back in the cool pond and watched it swim off. Ducks swam by and we fed them bits of bread from our bag. We went home when the sun got low and the air turned cool. Mom made hot soup and we told her about the fish and ducks. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near. The day went fast and left us tired but full of good cheer. Mom smiled and said we did well and should rest a bit now. We made plans to do it all again when the sun comes back. Birds sang in the trees and the world felt calm and bright. I rang the bell at the front door and waited on the step. A man came out and gave a wave with a box in his hands. He had a box with a gift for me from my aunt far away. I said thanks and took it in the house to show my mom. Mom helped me open it on the table with care and slow hands. Inside was a toy car and a card with kind words and a hug. I read the card and gave mom a hug and felt glad and warm. Then I ran out to show my pals the car on the front walk. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near.

Birds sang in the trees and the world felt calm and bright. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near. I set the table with a cup and a plate for each of us. Mom puts food on each plate and we sit down with glad hearts. We say thanks and start to eat our meal with slow calm bites. The soup is hot and the bread is warm from the oven near. We pass the salt and pour drinks in our cups with care. When we are done we clear the plates away and wipe the table. I wash the cups and dry them with a cloth and stack them neat. Then we sit and talk for a while about plans for the week. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near. The day went fast and left us tired but full of good cheer.

Snow fell all night and the yard was white and still at dawn. We put on hats and gloves and went out to play in the cold. We made a snow man with a carrot nose and stones for eyes. We had a snow fight and ran in the cold till we were wet. Our cheeks got red and our hands got numb so we went in. Mom called us in for hot cocoa and soup by the warm fire. We sat by the fire and warmed our toes on the soft rug. The snow was deep but we had lots of fun with our pals. Later we read books and watched the snow fall past the glass.

Each kid had a turn to pick a tune we all knew by heart. We clapped our hands and kept the beat with slow steady taps. Tom sang loud and made us all laugh with his funny face. Sara sang soft and we all hushed to hear her clear sweet voice. When the song was done we clapped again and bowed with smiles. The man with the drum hit it once more for a final loud beat. We stood up and bowed like stars on stage and felt proud and glad. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near. The day went fast and left us tired but full of good cheer.

We went to a farm on a trip last week with our whole class. Cows stood in the field and ate green grass in the warm sun. Chickens ran in the yard and pecked at seed on the dry ground. A horse neighed loud from the red barn at the top of the hill. We fed hay to a goat and pet a soft lamb with curly wool. The man let us hold warm eggs from the nest in the coop. We bought fresh milk and jam at the stand near the farm gate. It was fun to see how farm life works from dawn to dusk. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near.
