Katti and John were going to buy a new kitten. They were going to buy the kitten at Jefferson's Finest Pet's. On there way to the pet store Katti forgot Her money.

They quickly ran back to Katti's house and grabbed Her wallet. Her wallet was blue, pink and orange. Katti gasped at a kitten in the catalog. I want that one She shouted to John. The kitten was black with white around its neck and it had a cute pink little nose. They turned a corner and there was Jefferson's Finest Pet's.

They opened the door hello a man shouted. They turned
around it was Jefferson. He was wearing a bright orange shirt with paw prints on it. Katti showed him the kitten in the kitten catalog she wanted. I know exactly were that kitten is "follow me" he said. There it was the kitten right in front of there faces "how much is it" asked Katti? Jefferson said well usually $15  but for you $5 "deal" said Katti. They took the kitten and went home.

  1. Andrea,

    Great job on your paragraph about Hydra. I learned a lot and enjoyed reading it.

    I learned a lot about Bob McDonnell. Though I believe that some people would not agree with his politics.

    I think we need to work on adjectives and adverbs a little more.

    Your word count was 454 words.

    Your score is 24/25
    1pt problems with adjectives and adverbs.

    love mommy

  2. Great Job Andi! Don't forget to use your quotations around a person's speech, you started using it on some of the conversational pieces but forgot it on other parts, also watch your punctuation at the end of sentences, you forgot some periods and question marks. Sounds like it was a very cute kitten. Keep up the great work, you too mommy!
