On Saturday I visited the zoo.I went with my dad.We saw tall giraffes and loud seals.I felt excited all day.My pencil was under the bed.The moon was made of cheese.
On Sunday I played soccer.I was with my friends at the field.We ran fast and kicked the ball hard.I felt proud after the game.My sandwich had extra cheese.A snowman wore green boots.
This weekend I baked cookies.I was in the kitchen with my mom.We mixed the dough and smelled warm chocolate.I felt happy when we shared them.The cactus jumped over the fence.My ruler was bright purple.
On Saturday I went to the beach.I was there with my family.We splashed in the water and built a sandcastle.I felt calm and cheerful.The classroom door was open.A dragon sat on the bus.
Yesterday I rode my bike in the park.My brother came with me.We raced down the path and rang our bells.It was my favorite part of the weekend.The eraser hid in my shoe.Winter pancakes can fly.
On Sunday I helped in the garden.I worked outside with my grandma.We planted flowers and watered the soil.I felt useful and proud.My backpack ate a cookie.The clock sang a song.
