A Chair For My Mother (Mrs. Hug)

This week, we read the story "A Chair For My Mother" by Vera Williams. In this story, a family is faced with a house fire and they lose all of their possessions. The family begins to save money in a jar to buy a softy, comfortable chair for the mother who works long days at a diner. The children were asked to think about a time when something bad or sad happened to their family and write about it. I hope you enjoy what they shared.

something bad that happened to my family by christopher

The only bad or sad thing that ever happened to my family is nothing because we haven't had a
fire or something bad that could happen.

Bad things that happened to my family by Ashton

Bad things that happened to my family are when one of my grandfathers died.I think that was sad because I really loved him and had fun with him and he was the closest grandfather I had. It was also sad when my grandmother had heart surgery because she was I think 78 years old and she could have died but the good thing is she survived. I think it was bad to my parents when robbers took my dads bike and took cds out of my moms car.
