Aidan's assignment in computer lab today was to write his version of a story called "A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day". I hope he doesn't have many bad days like this one. This is what he wrote:
A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
By Aidan Heberle, Age 8
This morning when I
went to eat my cereal,
I spilled my milk on my cat
and my mom said I had to clean it up.
It was a terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad day.
When I went to school,
I started to talk
and the teacher caught me.
It was a terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad day.
I fell down on the playground
and no one helped me.
It was a terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad day.
And, then my sister
got to be in the newspaper!
It was a terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad day.
Finally, I tripped over all my toys.
It was a terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad day.
(Note, no animals were harmed in the writing of this story. We don't have a cat! But, Aidan's sister has had her picture in the newspaper several times...)

His version gives quite a challenge to the original. Perhaps you have a budding writer.
I thought bouncing off of the original was a great teaching idea for this age... I was even more impressed that the assignment came from the computer lab teacher!
