Hello, World!

This week, I joined my students in writing for the 100 Word Challenge. We typically spend the first 10 minutes of class, our warm-up period, to draft these short stories. This is my first attempt, and they all finished before I did. If you’d like to see their stories, click on the three horizontal white lines in the upper right corner of my HOME page. That’ll take you to the page with all the class blog links. Please stop by and read one of their 100WC stories. Leave a comment and your blog URL so we can return the visit!

For this week’s 100WC, we had to include these five words in our post:

BALLOON    NEVER    KICKED    FRIGHTENING    BROWN

I learned a valuable lesson on my 7th birthday. Never trust a balloon, for they can be wickedly deceptive. Their rainbow exterior is a sunny illusion, a smiley face mask for a frightening interior. It took only an instant for the black-hearted balloon to reveal its dark, devious self. My brown hair, swirled in Princess Leia cinnamon buns, grazed the red balloon’s rubbery skin. It exploded into a fiery volcano of screaming confetti. Its puckered red lips hissed a ear-piercing warning, “Leave this house!” My mother, horrified, immediately scooped me up. Kicking away the red oval of terror, we fled.

Thanks for reading this teacher’s 100WC. Visit again anytime!
