The Shamrock: A Tragedy

Hannah brought home a story she wrote in school for St. Patrick's Day. She was supposed to write about a four-leaf clover. Here is her tale (with punctuation added for clarity):

"once opon a time ther was a Shamrock. one time the shamrock went out to go For a walk. then She met a Four leaf clover. they Became Friends. then they met a leprechaun. they Ran and screamed. the leprechaun got them. the end."

Apparently, Hannah is learning that not every story has a happy ending...

Oh gosh! My girls would have written something similar! My oldest is 7 and she loves to write about dragons, fire, and not so happy endings.

It's funny sometimes the things kids come up with!

Yes, it is! Especially since most of her stories end with everyone having popcorn and hot chocolate together... :-)

Where homeschooling is just a small part of becoming life-long learners.
