Every time I visit a school I love seeing that kids are writing stories. As soon as I enter a classroom the kids immediately start sharing the stories they've written with me. I smile and say that I can't wait to walk into a bookstore and see their published books on the shelves.
Here are two of my favorite stories that FIRST grade kids wrote. Since I don't have their permission to use their names I will just share their stories, enjoy.
THE GREAT DAY
It was the first day of school and there was no teacher. The kids got to do whatever they wanted to do. They had puppet shows. They looked through the teacher's desk. It was fun. The principal was too busy so she didn't notice that there was no teacher. It was a great day. The kids played with the teacher's stuff. They went home and told their parents. The next day the teacher came back. She said, "I forgot all about school. I thought it was still summer vacation."
(HA! HA! I LOVE that story!) Here's the next one. I love the opening lines!
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN A FAMILY
I love my family more than a flower. I love my family more than a book. Even when my mom and dad get mad at my big brother for hitting my little brother. Even when my mom tells me to clean up my room and I always forget. No matter what . . . I still love my family because there's nothing better than a family.
(That story is TOO precious!)
What can I say except kids and their stories are the greatest!
Enjoy your day and share a story!
