Inferring and Writing

      

      Monique is sad because she lost Ginger.  She cried all night and never slept.  She was planning a funeral for Ginger in her bed.  The next day I gave her a card that said:

      "I'm sorry for your loss of Ginger.  I hope you're okay because I am sad too.  From Taylor."

I saw Monique at school eating her lunch and crying and crying and sobbing.

      I said, "I will comfort you if you are sad.  That is what friends are for."

      "Ya I guess,"said Monique.

Jimmy

"Hi my name is Jimmy.  I have two false legs!" said Jimmy.
      Jimmy (Jim for short) had no legs when he was born, so he had to get two false legs.  Jim is the fastest in his class and he can run as fast as a race car!  He always runs races and usually wins.  He raises funds for hospitals so that if anyone needs a false leg, they can get it free!  But there is a down side; lots of the older kids make fun of him.
