Students in Ms. Bhatt’s 4th grade, East Campus classroom were given an impromptu writing assignment prior to the STAAR tests, which started this week. The students were given 30 minutes with no rough drafts, no erasers and only one piece of paper.
Below are two of the essays:
Everything Changes
By Hector Hernandez
Change is part of life. People change, plants change. There is nothing wrong with that. It is important to learn how to cope with change. Do you want to know why it is important to cope with change? Let me give you more information.
Things never remain the same. There are many stages in our life. In each one, we have problems. It is important to cope with the change because if people don’t, we will be sad and lonely. If people cope with the change, people can accomplish anything. People have many problems but they should always solve the problems. Like when people are adults they have problems getting a job. If they don’t cope with the change something bad will happen. They won’t have a job. That is why it is important to cope with the change. I think it is important to solve all our problems. If it is a problem of change you can still solve it. Every problem has a solution.
What I Want To Be When I Grow Up
By Maria Pizano
Do you know what you’re going to be when you grow up? Many children want to become doctors, firefighters or designers. I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up. Veterinarians are like doctors for animals or pets. Let me give you more information about what I want to be when I grow up.
Veterinarians dress like doctors for people. When people have a pet with an illness, veterinarians help animals get better. Veterinarians help a lot of animals, such as cats, dogs, parrots, snakes and other animals. Veterinarians give shots to animals so they can stay healthy. They tell owners what to feed animals. They also tell owners how to keep them healthy. Veterinarians help animals get better from illnesses….Veterinarians are important to the community. There are special places for vets to work. Some travel and some stay in one place.
I would like to be a veterinarian because veterinarians help animals. Veterinarians are an important part of our community. That is “What I Want To Be When I Grow Up.”
