Created by me for my first cycle juniors who are in a bilingual project and studying English as a second language through content learning. This was for Halloween obviously and for my Literacy class. It works on rhyming words which dont always have the same spelling.

1. Why witches have cats?
By Terri Mitchell
For her students in 1st cycle

2. There was a witch and her mouse who used to live in a very
old house. Now I suppose the witch was supposed to have a
cat, but this witch wasn’t a bit like that.
peepo

3. The witch and her mouse used to fly on her broom, dashing and
Swooping in front of the moon, going ZOOM, ZOOM,ZOOM. The
Witch and her mouse how they would shout frightening all living things
that happened about.
peepo

4. Then one day when the witch was away, cleaning her broom
For the very next moon.
Along came a cat,as big as can be.
He ate poor mouse, he swallowed him down.

5. Back came the witch, going click click click ,from cleaning her stick…..

Dont worry

Oh horror oh no, she saw cat not her mouse sat on the doorstep
of her very old house. Dont worry said cat don’t you fret…. I will

back of the broom , flying up high dashing and swooping in front of the
Moon going ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM.
