My Published Author

Earlier in the school year, Jenna dictated a story to me so she could have it published at her school. She drew pictures and I typed the story and put it on a disk. She worked with a school volunteer to pick out the design of the cover and the page layout. Yesterday she has the first reading of her story. Jason and I both attended but I was selected to help her with the words she didn't know. I sat in the little kid chair and she is in the teacher chair. Afterwards she said that she had stage fright and couldn't remember the words. Congrats Jenna on your first of many stories! Here is her story for everyone to enjoy.

Ice Princess

Sarah is ten years old. She has long blonde hair. She has been ice skating since she was four years old. Sarah has a pet cat named Bluebonnet. Bluebonnet only plays with pretty yarn. Every day when Sarah comes home from practice she plays with her toy dolls and with Bluebonnet. Sarah is skating in her fifth skating competition. She is wearing her favorite colors, pink and purple with white sparkles. Her long hair is up in a loose bun with a gold sparkled tiara. Her skates are shiny white. Her music is medium speed – neither too fast nor too slow. She does not even fall once. It is her best routine yet. Sarah walks away with the gold medal. From then on she was known as the Ice Princess.
