Week 6 – The Day I Was Two Inches Tall
One day I woke up. I found out I was two inches tall because my Casper was way bigger than me! My pillow was as big as the rug downstairs in the family room where our whiteboard and coffee table is and where we do school.
We were going to go for a picnic. Mom was packing a picnic basket with no cover over it. She went upstairs to find me. Mom looked like a giant. She spoke in a loud, low voice. She said, “Emily.” She could see me and she realized that I was two inches tall. I was trying to carry my Casper but I couldn’t.
Mom picked me up and carried me carefully downstairs. She put me in her pocket and then picked me out and put me in the picnic basket. We went to the river and Mom put the basket in the river. Another mom was watching her put it in and she stayed there until the basket was there. She picked it up, and took me home and told her daughter that she found a new baby.

Week 6 – Finish the Story
Once, my family and I were driving through the mountains. We had to stop because a moose was sitting in the road. My parents got tired of waiting for the moose to move so…
they honked. The moose got mad! It backed up,clawed the ground and charged. It broke it’s antlers and dented our car! We had to hike 3 kilometers back to the research station. What an adventure!
Week 5 – Narration
One day, Lady was captured by the Dog Catcher. She was running with another dog that had no collar, named Tramp. They were running so fast but Lady didn’t see the Dog Catcher’s carriage and the Dog Catcher threw out his net and caught Lady. Lady was sad. Tramp didn’t see Lady get captured because he was too fast and he was ahead of her when she was captured. Tramp was also sad.
Week 5 – How Do You Do That?
How to ride a bike.
First, get your bike and helmet out of the shed. Always make sure you put on your helmet so you don’t hurt your head if you fall off your bike. Bring your bike to the bike path and sit on your bike seat, with one foot on each side. Then start pedalling. Pedalling is putting your feet round and round on the pedals. Your push the pedals, but don’t twist your feet. Pedal backwards to stop the bike.
Week 4 – Imaginary Field Trip
My trip to the Atlantic Ocean was really dangerous. Our submarine was surrounded by hungry sharks like an army surrounding a castle. They kept banging on the glass because they wanted to eat us! We made our submarine speed up so we got away from the army of sharks, but then we ran out of gas! We started sinking down to the bottom of the ocean. We wanted to go back up but without fuel, we couldn’t. So we got on our diving gear and got out of our submarine and we started paddling our feet to go up. Then we saw a huge gulper eel and we started to swim even faster. The gulper eel ate one of us 🙁 I alone made it back up to the surface and swam to land. I did not ever want to go in the ocean again.
Week 4 – Story Elaboration
Original story: Luke swam. Luke won.
Luke was a driving a race car and another person was driving a race car. But Luke went faster and then he won. Then Luke went swimming to have a race in his pool. That pool was a very, very big pool. Luke was racing with his brother and his sister. His sister was the youngest. The brother was named Nathan and the sister was named Emily. The Mom said, “You better put on your bathing suits.” And they did put on their bathing suits. Then they took off their bathing suits and went into the pool with their shirts and pants and the other one with her dress. Then another girl went inside and told Mama that the boys took off their bathing suits. Luke said that the race is going to happen in one second. The race began. The sister wins! They raced again, and then Luke won.
The end.
Week 4 – The Visitor
In the summer Alysha came to visit. And Mom bought some paint brushes and we were allowed to dip them in water and put them on a piece of paper. We painted downstairs and Alysha just watched us. I was painting a cat. And I liked my painting. And then we went to the science centre with Alysha. We played in the climbing maze. Alysha just watched and sat with Mama. Then we went outside and ate a sandwich. Alysha ate a sandwich too. Then we went home and then Alysha went back home. We waved to her but she didn’t wave back.
