The Curse of Lucy Adams

This story was written by a 4th grader. I have permission to post it.

Lucy Adams had super powers that killed people. Lucy Adams tries to get back at Bob Adams. In Kentucky, Illinois it was an ordinary day. Bob Adams was doing his ordinary police work. After police work, Bob Adams dates's Lucy Adam's sister, Becky Adams. A ride on Sunshine Trolley would be a nice date. But on accident Lucy kills her sister. "Zoop," a sound of a ghost passing by. Bob Adams has a broken heart. Why did she want to get back at Bob?

Remember the sound of "Zoop." Lucy Adams is working on another spell to kill Bob Adams. Bob was doing police work. Lucy remembered the Police Work Building. "Zoop," when Lucy got to Bob's Work Building, she went to Bob's room. "Hocus, pocus, kill him or grill him." Nothing happened. "Hocus, pocus you killed me. I turn you into an old lady. And Bob turned into an old lady.

Day 59, Pinball Medic

This game can be played with 40 to 50 players, 3rd, 4th or 5th graders. It's best to be in a gym. Place three bowling pins in three of the corners but I don't know why so you can probably skip that and still play the game. The two teams get on either side of the gym and and the idea is to throw big squishy orange balls at each other. No head shots allowed but the boys usually do get a couple in anyway. If they are hit by the opposing team, they sit down on the gym floor. Along the sidelines are two to three medics. They are equipped with little wheelies and their job is to pick up the injured players. Play continues until all the players are annihilated. Actually the orange squishy balls are great stress-relievers, if you ever find them in a school speciality catalog, they are definitely worth the bucks!!

Day 58 Kindergarten

I got another love note today. I had the kids outside, it was such a beautiful day and I spotted a piece of purple sidewalk chalk in the grass. It looked just like an Easter egg so I told Little Diva to pick it up. You know Little Diva, gorgeous blond curls and always telling everybody what to do. Anyway, she tugs on me later as we were lining up to leave. "I want to show you," she says. There on the asphalt: I LOVE YOU MRSSES. K. (big purple heart) Little kids are just so sweet!!
