Burnette Elementary School

Who Would Steal a Kleenex? (And who would love a Kleenex so much it would make her sad?)

by grades 3-5

Marie was a tall old lady who was a bit strange. She had a favorite Kleenex that she LOVED so much. It was scented, and that was part of what made it special. But who knows why she loved it so much?

One day, Marie was out at the park enjoying the beautiful weather, when out of nowhere a mean, squatty bully named John pushed her down and just took her Kleenex! How rude!

Marie called her friend Dumbledore who was there in a flash. Dumbledore was a tall, young, and many thought very handsome wizard. He sometimes helped the police catch bad guys.

Dumbledore snuck into John's house and just took the Kleenex back. He used the Kleenex as evidence and got John arrested and sent to Juvy.

Marie got her tissue back, Dumbledore got to help a friend, and John had a really bad day.

The End.

Ice Cream, You Scream!

by grades K, 1 and 2

Hannah was a tall girl who had some strange ideas about what was fun. She would pretend she was going to run out into the road in front of trucks. This was very dangerous and she should stop it right away!

Even more than scaring truck drivers, Hannah loved her Silly Bands! Her favorite was a star shaped one that she got as a gift from a mysterious stranger. She used to wear it every day, not on her wrist, but on her ANKLE! I told you she was strange!

One day when she was walking down the sidewalk, a cranky guy named Dorkman grabbed her silly band star and took it right off her ankle! In addition to being cranky and a thief, Dorkman was made of dirt! That's right, he was MADE of DIRT!

When Hannah realized what he had done, she pulled out her cell phone and instead of calling 911, she called her BFF, Hailey. Hailey is a sweet girl who LOVES ice cream!

When Hailey found out what had happened, she went to Dorkman and asked if he would give back the Star band. When he said "NO!" Hailey offered him some ice cream if he would give it back.

Of course, it's hard to say no to ice cream! Dorkman gave back the band, apologized for his bad behavior and he learned his lesson that friends are better than having silly bands. Hannah even shared some of her bands (but not her star) with Dorkman.

The End
