The following students typed their stories and qualified to post them on our blog. We are learning about adjectives and how to include quality adjectives in our stories to catch our readers' interest.
The Foolish Fox
Once there was a sly fox and seeing some bread and meat left by shepherds in the hollow of a tree, he slyly walked over and got inside, and had a hearty meal. But when he tried to get back out he saw that he couldn’t, and mournfully and madly began to lament his fate. Then an hour later another fox came by and walking passed the tree inquired after his friends complaining. Then the swollen fox told his friend what had happened, and pleaded him to find a way to get him out. But then after thinking a while his friend only said” you’ll have to wait until you shrink.

The Humongous Fat Fox
Once upon a time, in a forest far away there lived a greedy fox. This fox’s name was Red. One day, Red crept to a hole of a tree looking inside he found a large yummy meal. Red crawled inside and started eating. When he was finally finished with his meal Red tried to climb back out. Out came his head, out came one front paw, out came the other front paw, and – Oh no! Red’s belly was stuck! Red moaned and groaned, he cried and sighed, but to no avail he was stuck like a cork in a bottle. After a while, Grey the Wolf came trotting by and hearing crying he went to find out what was wrong. Grey noticed Red’s head sticking out of the hole in the tree and said, “What is the matter with you Red? Why are you crying?” Red sniffled and said, “I found a huge meal of Buttered Rolls, Pork Chops, Hot Dogs, and Candy Canes so I climbed in here and ate every single bit of it. After I was done and tried to get back out but my stomach got stuck! Grey shook his head and stated, “You greedy little pig, I am afraid that the only way you are going to be able to get out of that tree is to wait till you lose some weight.” With that Grey the Wolf shook his head and trotted away leaving poor greedy Red to wait till his stomach shrunk to size.

Creepy, Crawly, Critters
There are many types of spiders. All spiders start as eggs. After the mother lays the eggs she usually dies. Sometimes there are thousnads of babies in on egg sack, bu only one or two actually live. It doesn't take long before the eggs hatch and the baby spiders start to grow. They look just like their mother except tey are usually lighter in color. Soon the baby spiders will be able to spin their own webs and capture their own food.
As we were learning about spiders, we spotted a small spider making his home in our classroom.
