We're batty about writing

Today, students wrote a story entitled, "The Bat Who Couldn't Fly". Here's a sample of their work.

"Once upon a time, there was a bat who could not fly named, well, Bat. All the other bats made fun of him because they could fly to night school but he had to walk. When he went to his mom she said, "God made every bat with good gifts. Like, you maybe get better grades on your spelling test than the others." Bat thought about it for a moment. Bat said thanks to his mom. When he went to bed he said a prayer, thanking God for his good gifts. When he woke up, he had a smile on his face! The End."

"Once upon a time there was a bat and it couldn't fly. He really wanted to, but it was really hard for him. He kept trying and trying and trying. Then he got it, and he was really happy. The End."

We're so proud of our budding writers in first grade.
