All of a Kind Family

All of a Kind Family


The all of a kind family is Mama, Papa and five Jewish sisters named Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte and Gertie. They are called an all of a kind family because they are dressed alike and act alike.    The all of a kind family lives in the early 1900s.  One time, their Mama had them dust puts buttons in places so if they dust well they will find twelve buttons. On the Sabbath they eat a special dinner, they say prayers and they cannot strike any light on the Sabbath.  The girls love the Sabbath so much that they read books until the candle runs low.  Then one day their Papa’s friend gets married to the library lady and they both go away.  Although the girls are happy for them they cant help missing them.  Then they get the biggest surprise of all.  Their Mama has a baby and it is a boy! At first Gertie is not happy but in the end she is very happy.

Izzy Barr Running Star

Izzy is a girl that loves to run but one day a not so nice girl tells her that she has to get new running shoes or she will always loose.  So Izzy talks with her dad and her mom and even Dustin tries to help and it works she gets new shoes! Then at school they start getting ready for field day and Izzy practices every day after school for the 10k run. Then she has her baseball game and her dad even though he said he would does not come to the game.  In the end of the game Izzy scores the winning home run.  After her dad does not come to her baseball game Izzy gets mad and tells her dad not to come to the ten k run.  What Izzy says hurts her dad’s feelings and the more Izzy thinks about it the more she hates herself.   Then a few weeks later it is time for field day and that very day Izzy leaves a note telling her dad that she wants him to come.  At school they get ready for the race and when they hear that it is time for the race the boys throw there shoes up in the air. It was like boom and Izzy was one her way to the finish line and guess what she wins!
