Only good thing today......

Today was a wretched horrific day...but I do not want to post about that...it will make me depressed. So, I will post about the only good thing that has happened today. Our writing prompt this week was, "Dessert are so delicious. Write to explain about your favorite desserts." The kids borrow the first sentence to begin their story. Then, they have to write two paragraphs and each have to have three supporting detail sentences. So...being the crazy person I am....I told the kids that if they worked real hard all week and filled the marble jar half way full, they would get to eat a dessert on Friday during our author's corner. This is when they share what they have written with the class. So, I made dirt and worms for them. A delicious dessert and totally kid friendly. They love me!

I am posting my two favorite stories that some of my kids wrote. I have fixed the miss spelled words, but not any of the grammatical errors....adds a little flavor in my opinion. Remember that most of my students are ELL students. Enjoy....and perhaps eat a little dessert yourself while you are reading this!

Desserts are so delicious. The ultimate dessert for me is the cup cakes. To begin with I like to say that I know a lot of desserts. But I have one is special. Thats call a cup cakes. I love those cup cakes because they are little and I can eat all that I want to. I enjoy desserts a lot.

Last but not least another thing I like is ice cream. I like ice cream because it is cold and when is sunny is fresh. When is sunny my mom, dad, and my sisters and me go to buy some ice cream and then we go to the park to eat. What ever dessert is I know it is going to be good.

Desserts are so delicious. Pumpkin pie is so so so very very good. I wish I could break my piggy bank to get all my money and go buy pumpkin pie from the baker! I would put lots and lots of whipped cream on it. I would hide in my tree house and eat it all up.

I enjoy eating black forest cake. Sometimes my mom puts animal crackers that stand up, gummy bears, and little fake trees on it. She puts them on the cake to make it look like a black forest. She makes it for Halloween or our birthdays. So much deliciousness.

*Side note....this is the student that made the Indian Village and the Castle World....I love her!!!!! I do not think she actually knows what a real black forest cake is...but she rocked the idea of a black forest anyway. And, who writes in their story that they want to smash open their piggy bank so they can go to the baker and buy pie??!!! Sounds like a kid after my own heart!*
