When Jessie Came Across the Sea – the story so far.

We have been reading the story of Jessie, a young girl who gets the chance to start a new life in America. However, this means leaving her home and her grandmother.

Can you tell us the story so far in your own words? Try to include as much detail as possible and make sure that each sentence has (at the very least) a capital letter and full stop.

Good luck!

    So once there was this girl named Jessie and she lived with her Grandma. The reason she didn’t live with her parents is because they died when she was young. She had her mother’s wedding ring and sometimes she tried it on. Jessie and her Grandma lived in a village with a slanteud roof with a cow called Miss Minnie. Grandma always tried to teach Jessie how to sew but Jessie usually pricked herself. Jessie loves to learn and write and goes to the Rabbi with the boys for tutoring but one day the Rabbi announced that he is going to send 1 human to New York City. Everyone tried to convince the Rabbi to pick them but the Rabbi didn’t care he chose Jessie. Jessie automatically got upset. The Rabbi talked to Jessie and her Grandma and he said
    “I’m going to send Jessie to America and she will look after my dead brothers widow Kay”
    Jessie’s face went 😨. Grandma packed her a sewing kit and a small amount of food. She was going to be on that boat for weeks and weeks. As soon as they got on the dock, Jessie said her goodbyes to Grandma and gave her the ring and said to keep it while she is on her journey. Grandma waved at Jessie till she couldn’t see her anymore.
