STORIES In spring the bear came out of his cave. The bear went into the forest. The bear caught the fish but then the bear dropped the fish. The bear came to a log. The bees were in the log. The bees stung the bear and the bear jumped into the river. The bear caught the fish. By Brody O, RM 5, AGE 6 In spring the bear went to the river to get fish to eat. Mmmm. A bee came and started to annoy him. He jumped into the river. By Reese N, RM 5, AGE 6 I have some elastic and I got it for Christmas. By Leah K, RM 6, AGE 5 I got some cars from home.
