Week 11 – The Cat Book

Once there was a cat named Emily. She wanted to play with her boat at the beach. She brought her bucket to the beach and made a sand castle with a moat around it. She was excited.

She noticed that there were rocks and grass in the moat, but the water was missing from the moat. She needs water to play with her boat in the moat.

She grabbed her bucket.

She ran to the water and filled her bucket up with water.

She ran back with her bucket as fast as she could.

Uh-oh! She tripped on an umbrella that was left there by another family of cats and the bucket went up in the air…

…and then down on her head. The water spilled out. She doesn’t have any water left for her boat so she was sad.

She went back to the water and filled her bucket up again and then she slowly went back and this time she stepped over the umbrella. She went back to her boat and put it in the bucket and then she was happy to play with her boat.

Week 9 – Picture This

Once there was a very greedy robber. This robber had a sword. When it was midnight, at 12 o’clock, he climbed up into a castle window. When he came out he had stolen the king’s cape and crown and he also had a stick with a bag of gold hanging from his shoulder. He couldn’t hold the crown so he had to put it on his head! It was also really hard to climb because one of his hands was holding the stick with the bag of gold.

As he was going down the crown fell off his head and it smashed on the ground. The guards heard this so they rushed out. The archers on top of the castle wall started firing their arrows down at him. Then he flung himself into the castle window and he killed some of the people inside. Guards came to get him too but he killed all the guards with his sword. Then he killed the king and queen. While the archers were still looking for him he snuck up behind them and sliced all of their arrows with his sword. Their quivers shook as he did this. The archers turned around and when they grabbed for their arrows only the back of the arrows were in their quiver. The robber had the pointy tips! 

In the morning enemies of the castle came and catapults started firing boulders over the walls and all the soldiers in the castle had no weapons. The robber had taken all the weapons and broken them or kept them himself. The enemies got the castle. The robber was on the enemy’s team.

The End.

Week 10 – Invitation

Dear Lola and Lolo and Grandpa and Grandma,

May you please come to my birthday party on December 4? It’s going to be lots of fun. There will be balloons blowed up, chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, and other kids will be playing outside in the backyard or riding their bikes on the bike path. Also, other people will be watching Treehouse on the television. The boys will be playing Lego upstairs.

The party will be at our house at 180 Riverbrook Way SE. Please tell Mommy that you are coming. Good bye.

Oh, and I forgot, we are going to have pizza and the Stephens family is also going to be there. Good bye again.
