Ella has been distance learning for her third grade at Hartland School. Her favorite class is writing. She enjoys learning the special skills of writing, creating fictional stories and documenting real ones as well! She wrote a true story over two days about her experience with the sick sheep that I wanted to share with all of you. Ella also took this very special photo of the third lamb to get sick, Star. Star was her favorite, and she took this photo as Star was enjoying some grass on one of her final afternoons in the fading summer sun.
The Sickness

Mom Dad and I live on a farm. We have a big garden, sheep, chickens, dogs. It was fun living on the farm until our sheep got sick. With a virus called cda its like chicken pox expet its not. 2 of our lambs were positive with cda. cda efects their kidnees so lamb number one coudent stand up on his own he even coudent keep his head up. He was getting weaker and weaker when we called the vet said “I’ll be there in a minute”. When she arived he had died. We all cryd even dad. Now there was only one postive lamb left. Our other lamb was doing good but day after day she got weaker and weaker. She started to grind her teeth which is a sighn of stress. We called the vet again and when she came and looed at the lamb number 2 she said I think we should put her down. It was silent then dad broke the silence and siad “ok”. So they got the medicine and put her to sleep.
