Silly Spelling Stories V

                  The Haunted Sausage Laughed in His Awesome Saucer Made Out of Laundry... 

Dear Reader,

In Silly Spelling Stories V, we composed our stories a little differently:  instead of taking a look at our word list and then launching into our story,  we took the  Refrigerator-Poetry-Magnets approach.

We  first cut out our words and sorted them into nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. Next, we spent a patient (!)  half-hour moving them around into different combinations on an 11x17 piece of paper. As interesting word combinations emerged and a story began to take form, we taped down our words and added text with a pencil.  We hope that these stories are, for you, more interesting, more surprising, and more enjoyable. It has been fun to mix vocabulary, story-writing, and nine-and-ten-year-old humor.
