A Beautiful Morning by Joey Conroy
Last week while cleaning at the dining room/school room getting it ready for the fall, I came across some old papers on my son’s I’ve never read before. Joey was in 4th grade when he took a 6th grade Shurley Grammar class. He got 100% on this essay I wanted to share with you.
A Beautiful Morning by Joey Conroy
One day I decided to watch the sunrise. I sat on a hill, feeling the morning dew drench my pants. I heard the birds chirping in the distance, announcing the sun’s arrival. Suddenly the sky changed color to a light shade of pink and orange. Then beams of light shot over the sky. Soon the sky got brighter and the colors got darker. Finally I saw the tip of the sun peeking over the green tree tops. The sun was like the smiling face of a best friend. I was glad I decided to watch the sunrise.
His teacher’s comment: “Joey, I am very impressed at how well you used descriptive phrases! Keep up the good work.”
Guess Joey takes after me when it comes to writing!
