Last month in Mrs. Haynes and Mrs. Smith's fifth grade class, we finished up the stories we worked on through September. I'm thrilled to include the best from those stories. Thank you, Erika, for your creativity and your hard work! Get a load of the fun first line, word choices like "blurted" and details like speaking through a mouth full of bread. Notice the character progression as she overcomes her fears. Keep it up!
Reader, if you don't want to read about Alex and her CRAZY Uncle Bertha, you don't have to, but your missing out! (No, it's not "Her CRAZY Aunt Bertha." It's uncle, all right?)
Now Alex is just a eight year old city girl who is terribly afraid of bugs, ball sports and math.. Here's her story.
"Alex you'll be late for school!" called Alex's Mom.
"I'm still eating!" shouted Alex froma mouthful of bread.
"Well bring your toast to into the car!"
Alex hated being rushed. she picked up her backpack and ran out the door.
"Finally home again" thought Alex.
"Aleeeeeeeex!" shouted Mom. "I need to talk to you!"
Alex walked into the kitchen.
"AlexdadandIaregoingtoEuropeforavacation.Soyouaregoingto staywithyour.......UNCLEBERTHA!!!!" blurted mom.
Alex couldn't believe it, who was Uncle Bertha?
Here we are at uncle bertha's barn. Thought Alex.
"Hi want to see my bug collection!!!!!!!"
"Yuck" said Alex when she saw the bugs.
A month later..."Alex!!! Where are you?"
Alex was on the ground playing with the bugs.
"I love 'em!!!"
