Pets, Predators, & Procrastinators
This Week at Sentence Center: 5/2/26
This week at Sentence Center,
We turned to these striking works of literature to find inspiration for our writing: “Why I Taught Myself to Procrastinate” by Adam Grant, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, and Dear Martin by Nic Stone.
Happy Writing,
Ms. Ana

Some highlights from recent student writing:
My dog Luna is a an English yellow Labrador Retriever who loves to eat anything she finds. Whenever we say, “dinner,” she sprints to her food bowl and waits until we bring her food.
by Graham (3rd grade)
Imagine looking out at the night sky looking for animals, when you see a raccoon appear! Raccoons are animals that have sharp teeth. Their eyes glow at night, and it is dangerous to pet them.
by Arvaan (5th grade)
Should I have stayed home? I looked around at my friends, and tried to forget about my upcoming exam. We baked cookies, watched movies, and had a blast. The next day, when it was time to head back home, my stomach dropped. My test!
