We've begun creative writing this year and I have to say the kids have really stepped up to the plate. They are really enjoying it and I am enjoying seeing their creativity.  I start them off with a line.......then they go from there. I do not correct their mistakes ( grammar, spelling ) but allow them to be free.

I will ask each of them weekly to choose something from their sibling's daily writings they'd like to share with my bloggy friends.

Here are the choices this week:

It was a cold, dark night when I looked out my window and saw......a great big, white owl. At first I got scared, but he was really nice. He had silky white fur, like a pillow. When I went to bed, he was there. The next morning, he was gone. That night he came back, every night he would come and sleep with me. The End

If I were a frog and lived in the swamp.....I would go on an adventure and look for more frogs and toads and would swim in the swamp. I would jump in the swamp and have lots of fun. I love being a toad b/c its the perfect creature that I want to be. Oh my, I just found a good, beautfiul toad and I want to go meet her! Hello, my name is Cody the Toad. What's your name? My name is Christy the Toad and I have a brother. Want to meet him? Sure, I would love to meet him. OK! Hi, my name is Cody the Toad, what's your name? My name is Kordy the Toad. Oh, cool name, said Cody the Toad. And soon Cody and Christy got married and had little baby frogs. She had 4 little baby toads. The End
