And now she's gone and finished the last piece of Memoirs of A Swan.
I've begun posting the full story here .
Enjoy!
I've been off my rocker for a long time...it didn't take much to push me over the edge... 
Thought maybe I'd post our Lil' Movie Poster here...for fun...

You think I would realize by now that everything is connected, but Nooooo, not this Owl. That is why she needs an Eagle to guide her.

What a way to set off a story, I would get you to do me one but I know you are pressed for time these days, still how did you do them! Would I be stepping on feet to say I would love one for Lightening? I mean if you just give me some directions I'll do it myself...cheers! You should put the cover of TJ's book up here! It is fantastic the cover you did for it! Well Amy! our work here is done!
Awwww....thanks, Ebony! I'd be happy to make a poster for you! Did you have a certain picture in mind for it? Just let me know. It really doesn't take much time.
Also, in case you want to investigate, I use this site (the movie poster) to make them. Yes, it's another fun website to play with...*grin*

If any of my students behaved the way they say they do I would be pulling my hair out. Grade 1 stories are not all that imaginative. At least their written stories are not. They are very creative in their oral stories.

My daughter is the same way, CD! For homework each week she has to draw a picture and write a story. Last week the story she wrote was:
I flew on a pteranadon. We had to get fish. A fire-breathing dragon attacked us. Luckily, I had my force field. Phew!
The actual oral description around the story was much more detailed. I'm not sure how to convince her to write that level of detail into her stories.

It will come. As She gets older and is able to write faster the number of words increases.
Think how long it took her to write that much. Then if we insist she goes back and edits and corrects spelling mistakes and punctuation. It is just too much to take in.
Everything requires baby steps. Children at 5, 6, 7 are so focused on holding their pencil correctly/comfortably, printing correctly, spelling correctly, puntuation, spacing, capitals. It is too much fo them to try and write a good story at the same time.
As these little things become automatic then they can focus on the larger things. Like adding more description to a story, or using adjectives and adverbs to describe the object in their head.
Besides if you daughter is writing all that, she is doing better than my grade 1's who write: I see a apple, I see a cat, I see a tree. Or I see orange pumpkins, I see black cats, I see red blood.
