Stories from a Second Grader

Every now and then my second grader likes to write his own stories along with his own illustrations. Hey, I won't have to beat this kid over the head with creative writing. This home schooling momma says, "Hallejujah for that!" Well, I thought I'd share this one with you (May I remind you that the grammar and writing are all his and it shows.):

the treasure of past curse

the end

Hey, you have to hand it to him...where he was consistent, he was consistent. All the help I gave him was some words he wanted me to spell. Poor kid, looks like he needed more help than that. Despite that, I do like to see what he comes up with completely on his own. You'd think all the time spent going over capitalization and punctuation would pay off by now. :) Oh well, it'll come I'm sure. In the meantime, I am enjoying his creativity.
