Haydn's writing

Haydn brought home this story this week....


Once upon a time there was a flower. It's name is Tulip. Once Tulip ask's to go to the pool. So they went to the pool and had so much fun. Tulip also learned how to swim on her back. Heres how she does it. Chickin, airplane, sorger. Also on her stumek kick, pull, pull. Tulip didn't know it was going to be that difficult to swim.  Thats the ending of the story. 


Great Job Haydn!
