Once there were two boys, Nathan and Gabe. They were looking for home and wandered into a forest. They hoped a giant wouldn’t find them and eat them. The wandered around the forest and got lost even more. Then, they saw a nice giant who said, “Welcome to my house. I will feed you so you don’t get hungry.” The giant kept asking them questions. The next morning he kept asking them questions. This morning he finally let them eat. Then they went outside the giant’s house and saw a tree. The giant said he wanted to cut it down and make more room for his garden, but it was a magic tree and when he tried to cut it down, the tree went higher instead of falling down. Now there was a gap between the stump and the rest of the tree. He asked Nathan and Gabe if the tree was really magic. Nathan started looking at the stump and said, “It must be magic!” They went back in the house and said, “Can we have some more food?” The giant didn’t like their answer or question and he turned into a bad giant and smoothed them. The end.

Make Up a Song – Week 13
To to tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I love money it is good.
It helps buy things that are good.
The best ones to get are toonies,
Or the loo-oo-oonies.
That is the end of my song
Thank you all for singing along. (The End)
Story Elaboration – Week 13
Pat built a house. The house collapsed.
Pat built out a house out of sand on the beach. He put sand on the roof and then he put shingles on the roof to keep the sand from falling off the roof. Then, as soon as he built the house, the house collapsed. It was blowing a strong wind and it was raining. The house collapsed because he built it out of sand and shingles.

Week 12 – Chore Training (How to Put the Dishes Away)
After breakfast, lunch and dinner we wash the dishes by putting them in the dishwasher. When the dishwasher is full we run the dishwasher. When it’s done we put the dishes away. Our dishes go in the cupboard, and the cutlery goes in the drawer with the knives. First you take the cutlery basket and carry it over to the counter on top of the cutlery drawer. Then you take the forks and put them with the other forks. You make sure you put the small ones with the small ones and the big ones with the big ones. Now you put the little spoons with the other little spoons and the big spoons with the other big spoons. Be careful with the knives, be sure you dont’t cut yourself. Only hold the handles, not the pointy part. Then you put the basket back in the dishwasher. I stack the dishes on the counter then Mama and Daddy put them in the cupboard because I’m not tall enough to reach. Then you closes the dishwasher. The end.

Week 11 – Living in Abraham’s Day
If I lived in Abraham’s day I would see camels, donkeys, goats, and sheep. It would smell stinky like the animals need a bath. I would live in a tent. Inside the tent you would see baby sheep and me playing with baby kittens. If you needed to make you, you need to make a fire outside your tent. There is no grocery stores so the boys would go hunt and get food for the girls to cook. When you go to sleep you hear camel grunts, and the sheep and goats saying “baaaaa” and donkeys saying “neigh.”
The End.
