Clumsy !Princess Grace!

by Emma S. Five  hours  ago  Princess  Grace’s  dress  was  ripped  in  half.  She  looked  like  a  red  rasp-­‐berry  when  she  was  walking  and  stepped  on  her  dress.  There  was  a  tournament  go-­‐ing  on  at  her  castle.  She  was  crying  a  lot.  Then  after  she  stopped  crying  the  tourna-­‐ment  was  about  to  end.  There  was  only  one  more  game.  So  she  got  into  the  armor  and  she  won  the  game.  Hooray  for  Princess  Grace!    G i n g e r b r e a d M a n L o s t

Two  hours  ago  the  Gingerbread  man  got  lost  in  a  school.  Then  it  was  recess  time.  When  he  was  not  looking  he  got  run  over  by  a  ball.  He  went  to  the  nurse.  Then  he  was  finally  found  by  the  kids  in  room  104.  It’s  possible  they  will  eat  him.  Stay  tuned  to  find  out  more.    

Goldilocks  Goes  Where  No  One  Has  

Gone  Before  by Kiley!

Four  days  ago  Goldilocks  went  into  the  woods.  She  found  a  little  house.  She  knocked  on  the  door.  There  was  no  an-­‐swer.  She  went  in  and  she  went  to  a  

bookshelf.  Then  the  three  bears  came  back.  The  dad  was  the  meanest  of  all.  The  mom  was  nice  and  the  baby  was  really  nice.  When  the  dad  went  upstairs  and  saw  Goldilocks,  he  got  so  mad  that  he  almost  exploded.  So  he  called  Mama  Bear  and  Baby  Bear.  Dad’s  scream  woke  up  Goldilocks.  She  sprang  from  the  bed  and  ran  away  and  never  came  back.

Three  days  ago  Mernice  and  Edith,  the  tooth  fairies,  made  a  plan.  Their  plan  was  to  tuck  every  single  kid  in  that  night.  Step  one,  make  a  wake-­‐up  call.  Step  two,  they  would  Nind  someone  in  need  of  tucking  in.  Step  three,  they  would  do  the  tucking  in  and  be  done.  Let’s  hope  they  can  keep  their  plan!

Pigs Jump Out of Story!

by Luke!Half  a  minute  ago  two  pigs  jumped  out  of  a  story!  They  went  to  their  brother’s  house  and  saved  a  dragon!  The  three  pigs  jumped  back  into  the  story  with  two  more  friends  -­‐  the  dragon  and  a  very  popular  cat  from  the  Cat  and  the  Fiddle  story.  Next  the  wolf  tried  to  blow  down  the  brick  house,  but  then  the  dragon  and  everyone  else  opened  the  door.  The  dragon  did  two  things.  First  he  de-­‐stroyed  the  letters  and  then  he  pushed  the  wolf  down  to  the  ground.  Then  they  turned  the  page  of  their  story  and  they  rearranged  the  letters  in  the  story  to  say,  “They  lived  happily  ever  after!”

Two  days  ago  Jack  was  very  tired  from  running  away  from  a  pig.  So  he  fell  asleep  on  a  bear  and  he  did  not  notice  it  was  a  bear.  Then  the  bear  woke  up  and  Jack  got  

very  scared.  He  thought  the  bear  might  bite  him.  Then  the  bear  was  backing  up  and  he  

fell  into  a  well.  The  bear  was  very  angry  that  he  could  not  get  out.  The  bear  could  be  heard  saying,  “GRRRAAARRR,”  all  over  the  countryside.

by Connor!Yesterday  a  Princess  was  cursed  at  the  Kingdom  by  the  Lord  of  Night.  Now  the  princess  will  get  anything  she  wants  or  her  kingdom  will  fall  into  ruin  and  the  king  and  queen  would  die.  The  Lord  of  Night  is  an  evil  spirit.  The  Princess  has  a  horse  as  white  as  the  clouds,  and  an  ash-­‐gray  cat  as  swift  as  a  blink  of  an  eye  and  as  clever  as  six  professors,  and  a  walnut-­‐brown  dog,  who  understood  anything  she  said.  She  

gave  everything  away  and  got  a  gift  of  a  ring  from  a  little  man.  The  Lord  of  Night  came  and  the  Princess  un-­‐cursed  herself  by  turning  the  ring  out  on  her  Ninger.

Wolves Escape by  Jack  Y.  

One  hour  ago,  Mother  Wolf  told  her  three  babies  to  go  out  into  the  world.  The  Nirst  house  they  built  was  out  of  brick.  The  big  bad  pig  came  prowling  down  the  road.  He  knocked  and  said,  “I’ll  huff  and  puff  and  blow  your  house  down!”  And  he  did.  But  the  wolves  escaped.

by Grace Mc.!Five  hours  ago  a  boy  named  Jack  was  walk-­‐ing  to  a  house.  It  was  raining.  He  knocked  on  the  door  and  a  big  giant  was  right  there  in  front  of  him!  The  giant  made  him  some  soup!    

L e s s o n s L e a r n e d t h e H a r d W a y

by Tyler!Twenty  hours  ago  a  poor  Nlower  seller  threw  his  Nlowers  into  the  sea  to  the  Drag-­‐on  King,  because  no  one  bought  his  Nlowers.  Then  a  lady  came  out  of  the  sea  with  a  snot-­‐nosed  boy  for  the  Nlower  seller  with  thanks  from  the  Dragon  King.  The  boy  was  magical  and  when  he  blew  his  nose  gold  appeared.  The  man  asked  for  more  things  like  a  larger  house,  servants,  a  garden  with  a  pond,  and  dancers  to  entertain  him.  Still,  the  man  did  not  like  the  snotty  boy,  so  he  locked  him  outside  the  house  gate.  Then  the  boy  blew  his  nose  and  Poof!  -­‐  everything  the  man  asked  for  disappeared!  Perhaps  the  Nlower  seller  should  have  been  more  thankful!  Now  the  boy  will  go  back  to  the  sea.

Mice Surprised by Cats !

by Henry!One  hour  ago  two  mice  went  shopping.  They  also  watched  movies  and  bought  clothes.  Later  they  saw  some  city  cats  and  ran  away.  We  interviewed  both  mice  and  they  said,  “It  was  a  great  day  until  the  cats  came.”  Uh,  oh.  What’s  going  to  happen  now  to  those  mice?

How To Make Your Very Own Magic Wand The first lesson of Magic is to learn to trust yourself, your spirit, your ideas and your hidden talents. If your intention is to make a real Magic Wand, and you try your best, the Wand you make will be truly Magical and Powerful.

To make a Magic Wand, begin by find-ing a branch whose shape and size attracts your attention. Look on the ground for a fall-en branch whose shape pleases you. Peel the bark off, or you can leave some of the bark on if you like. You can use permanent magic markers or watercolors to “stain” your wand with subtle color. If you use either of these, you will want to spray varnish on your wand, so the colors won’t run later.

What you do next is only limited by your imagination. You can cut small “pits” into your wand and glue beads or stones in them. You can wrap copper wire or leather around your wand. To glue leather and beads you can use hot glue, epoxy, or Elmer’s glue. You might like to add color with embroidery thread, ribbon, cord, or sewing trims.

Dedicating your Wand to make it a Magical Tool is easy, and can be done in many ways. One way is to hold your Wand out, saying:

“By the power of the Elements I dedicate this Magic Wand to heal the Earth, to Channel my Power, to Harm None and Find Truth.”

Or:

“By the Power of All this is Good, All that is True, My Wand honors and amplifies the Magic in me and the Magic in you.”

When you have finished, stand and draw a circle around you with your Wand, saying,

“I consecrate this circle as a Magical space between worlds.”

Point your Wand to the north, south, east, and west, greeting the elements and the powers of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Adapted from: realmagicwands.com

Advice Column !!Dear Mother Goose My stepsisters are very annoying. They think I should do everything for them. How can I change the way things run around here?

Cinderella

Dear Cinderella Call your fairy godmother as soon as you can. Ask her to turn you into a mouse. Then fol-low the mice out of the house. Run to the nearest pond. Kiss the first frog you see and something wonderful will happen!

--------------- Dear Mother Goose, A witch has captured my brother and me. When we were walking in the woods we be-came lost and hungry. Then we saw her house and it was made of candy! But now she won’t let us go home to our family. What shall we do?

Hansel and Gretel !Dear Hansel and Gretel, I highly recommend you get out of there quickly. As soon as she falls asleep, grab her broom and run out the door. Run as fast as you can, but stay together. If she wakes up and follows you, remember she is old and she cannot run as fast as you can. Also, she will not have her broom so she can’t catch up! Good Luck!

--------------- Dear Mother Goose, I just do not understand why everyone is chasing me! So I might be cute and sweet, and yummy to eat, but we all deserve a free life. I want to make my own decisions and pursue a career in teaching drama classes at The Episcopal Academy to elementary kids. Please tell me quickly! How can I escape these people and animals that are chasing me?

Gingerbread Man !Dear Gingerbread Man, First, run down to Fairytale Village. Find the beauty parlor and get a makeover. Demand different icing to change the way you smell – that way the animals will lose your scent. Ask anyone for directions to that school you want to work at. Once you make it there, I’m sure the children will protect you!
