Dingling, dingling. Sarah's fake gold clock went off. Sarah got out of bed and turned the clock off. She got into her blue calico dress. It was her favorite dress because it matched the blue in her eyes. She looked in the mirror as she brushed her long brown hair. She heard her mom calling her to breakfast. Sarah walked down the stairs. She was excited when she saw her breakfast. Bacon and ham, her favorite. Her mouth started to water. Then her brother James walked in the front door. It startled Sarah and she turned her head to look what was so loud. Sarah, come on your late for school. Oh no Sarah said, I forgot about school. Sarah jumped up, she grabbed her books and ran to the buggy. James got into the buggy too. When Sarah got to school the bell rang and she ran into the school.

Miranda, I'm very impressed with your writing and the fact that you are only 8 years old. You've started a good story here--I can see Sarah, you've introduced me to her brother, and you've got some very good word choices like "startled" and "her mouth watered." Good showing what she's feeling.

In a few more lessons you will learn how to do quotation marks " " so it's easier to tell when your character is talking. But nice job for now.

And your nutshells are well done. Nutshells are hard for me, so it's great that you are learning how to do them at such a young age.

And like I asked Nathan: Where is your lesson 9? Is it hiding somewhere here? Please remind me if I've already looked at it. Or did you forget to post it?
