A Story about Ghost Stories

By the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders

"Where did they go?"

This was the cry that Bob's neighbors heard, when Bob discovered that his ghost stories were missing. These ghost stories were not just a book he checked out from the library, but a collection of ghost stories that he had written and saved over the years.

Bob, in addition to being a writer, was a cool, old guy. One night, while Bob was asleep, Kirsten, a monkey who wears glasses, snuck into Bob's house and stole his stories! She also loved ghost stories, but instead of asking to see them she just took them!

When Bob awoke and discovered the theft of his scary tales, he called Anasia, his good friend. Anasia is a nice old fashioned girl and she believed that you should never take something that does not belong to you!

Anasia has super powers that she doesn't use much, but she used them to find the monkey and the missing pages. When she captured Kirsten, Bob spoke to the thief and discovered that she loved scary stories almost as much as Bob! So he invited her over for banana splits and they swapped scary stories for hours. They even invited Anasia over for snacks and stories as well.

The end.

I love it when a story ends happily! What do you think?

It's Only a Dollar!

By the Kindergartners and 2nd Graders at JMES

Tommy was getting ready for school. He was sitting at his desk, remembering the scary sad day when his most important possession was taken. You see, Tommy was a young clown, and he made everyone smile! The thing that brought him joy was a big thick sand dollar that he bought at the beach for just a dollar. The sand dollar reminded him of his trip to the beach. What a fun time that was!

One day while he was holding the sand dollar, it just disappeared! An ugly magician named Uhh used his magic and made the precious sand dollar vanish and reappear in his own hands! What a terrible thing to do!

As soon as Tommy got over the shock of seeing his sand dollar vanish, he called his best friend, Crazy Burglar, who had a very unusual ability. She could make herself look just like a big delicious cheeseburger. She found Uhh and transformed. When he saw the burger (which was really Crazy!) he dropped the sand dollar and started to pick up the tasty burger. Imagine his surprise when the burger changed back into a person who grabbed the sand dollar and ran to the police.

They arrested Uhh and took him to jail. Tommy was thrilled to have his souvenir back, and he lived happily ever after.

The end.

Isn't it nice to have friends? What do you think? Please post a comment!

We All Scream When Our Ice Cream Gets Stolen II

by the 5th graders

He wrestled with the police. But that was not why the horse ended up in jail. Why was a horse in jail? Let me tell you the story.

Frank Sinatra, a big chubby dog, loved ice cream. His favorite flavor was an unusual kind you could not get at most stores. It was ice cream with a big chewy juicy bone in the middle!

One night while he was asleep, Rocky Balboa, a fat horse, crept into Frank's dog house and stole the ice cream! Frank was furious when he woke up and discovered that his ice cream was gone!

Frank called a woman named Michael Jackson (this story is getting even weirder!), who came to Frank's to help solve the crime. She figured out who took the delicious dessert and tackled Rocky just outside the police station. She got the ice cream back, but Frank was still so upset that he insisted that Rocky get arrested. Rocky was arrested, but because he didn't want to go, he wrestled with the police. And that's the story.

The end

Wow! What a funny story! What do you think?

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream When Our Ice Cream Gets Stolen!

by the 4th graders

It was early in the morning, and the dew was still on the grass. Suddenly a sad cry split the still morning air. Madison, a very ugly midget who was quite fat, was crying because someone had stolen her chocolate chip chocolate ice cream! GP, another hefty midget who lived nearby, and whose hair was just too long, had broken into Madison's house and stole her favorite dessert!

When Madison calmed down, she called her BFF, Addy, who was an expert marksman. Addy found out that GP had taken the ice cream and she arrived at his house, just in time to see him eat the first bite of the frozen confection. She used her training in explosives to quickly set a trap and blew up the rest of the ice cream. Ice cream flew everywhere!

GP was arrested and went to jail. Madison thanked her friend and they both went to the store to buy some more ice cream!

The end.

Who would have thought to blow up ice cream? I guess if Madison can't have it, Addy wanted to make sure that GP couldn't either! Leave some comments.

Mysterious!

By the 2nd Grade

Why did Joe go to jail? Well, it's an interesting story. Joe was a tall mean boy who was always happy, especially when he was being mean to people. One of his favorite people to be mean to was a young, grumpy, small boy who loved a Pokemon book. This book was so cool because it contained information about all the Pokemon characters.

Joe climbed down the chimney and stole the book. Joey called his dad, Bill and Bill said he would help. Bill called his girlfriend, Sarah, and told her he was going to help Joey get his book back. Bill looked and looked for the book and when he found Joe, he asked for it back. Joe gave it back but he had to go to jail for stealing. Joey was glad to have his book back and thanked his dad for helping him.

The end.

Ah another happy ending. It's good when dads get to help! What do you think?

Hammer Time!

By the 1st grade at FES

"John Henry's hammer is missing!" No one could believe it, but it was true! Someone had stloen John Henry's hammer. John henry was a big, mean guy and he loved that hammer! He used it at work to drive nails and even used its magic power once to knock down a mountain!

But sure enough, it was gone. It seems that during the night, someone snuck into his house and took it. When he discovered it was missing, he called 911. They sent over a detective who followed the clues and found out that the hammer had been taken by Hello Kitty, a nice, but very large, cat. The detective told John Henry about Hello Kitty and together they went to her house and took it back.

Spiderman's Mom is COOL!

By the Kindergarten classes at FES

Spiderman took off his mask. He was very tired. He had become so grumpy that he had started becoming a bad guy. He used to fight bad guys and now he was becoming one!

He looked over his treasured collection of stuff and saw his favorite, his big green web. He went to bed, but when he woke up, he saw that someone had flown into his upstairs window and had broken into his house. He raced down to his treasure room, and he could not believe it! Someone had stolen his big green web!

He called his mom and asked her to come over and help him solve the mystery. She was a big woman who loved to cook. She also loved to solve crimes. As soon as she arrived at Spidey's house, she checked the video she had hidden in the upstairs hall and discovered that Green Goblin was the thief!

She hunted him down, chopped his flyer in half with a butter knife and got the web back. Spiderman and Green Goblin became friends after that, and they both decided to become good guys.

The End

I like a happy ending. What about you? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!
