2nd grade writing prompts: Take 1

Writing prompt from John's school composition pad:

What are some rules at your house?

Some rules at my house are not going into the woods by myself. I also can't go to my friends' house without asking. I can't yell when Vandy is playing and Will is sleeping. My dad doesn't like that rule. I don't like it either. Rules keep you safe. RULES.

As an English teacher, all I can say is John's writing is pure genius! Of course, I'm not allowed to "leave any children behind" in my classroom, so I pass everyone! Just kidding. That's really cute! If no yelling during a Vandy game is one of his top two family rules to remember, he must be doing ok :) Carter's top rules might include a) No running away from Mommy at Linens and Things so they don't have to shut down the store again, b)No shouting about certain body parts itching to the entire class, or c)no asking anyone over the age of 60 "Are you going to die?" (just went through a death in the family, for the record). RULES.
