Grade 3
MemoirWritingDear Readers,
I hope you enjoy this story of my life and learn how to love each other and to never give up on your school and your work.
I help a lot around the house. I clean up a lot. I love my whole entire family. I help my little brother with his math homework.
My mommy helps him too. I want him to learn because he doesn’t know a lot of stuff, and he does school every day.
I do a lot of schoolwork, and I work really hard on it because sometimes it’s hard for me to do math and writing. I’m working on my math. I really love my life. It’s the best life I’ve ever had. My brothers, my mom, my sisters, and dad have helped me a lot, and I’m grateful for that. We go places and play outside. I play with my brothers a lot, and we love each other. Sometimes my brothers are mean to me, but I forgive them when they say sorry. My whole entire family has shown me how to be a good big sister. My two big sisters Brittany and Breanna teach me math, how to read, and how to do workbooks.
From,
Brooklyn
