Dahlia’s Story Page 1
This is Dahlia’s story. My challenge to you, dear reader, is to read this without consulting my transcription of it (that she read to me) below the picture.
What it says
Once upon a time there was a very quiet cottage. There was two girls named Dahlia and Ella. Ella was bigger. Dahlia was smaller. Ella liked to watch the sun set. Dahlia liked to watch the sun rise. When it was night, Dahlia heard footsteps.
Dahlia yelled “Ella!”

What it says
Ella runs to Dahlia’s room.
Ella said “What’s wrong?”
I hear the Headless Horseman!
“We need to run!” said Ella.
“But what about our cottage?” said Dahlia
“We maybe be stuck in the woods with the bats and the moths” said Ella
“Now we better hurry!” said Ella

Part 3
Spoiler
Dahlia said “I hear footsteps! but they don’t sound like the Headless Horseman”
“Sabina!”
Dahlia ran first to Sabina, then Ella.
“But Sabina, the headless horseman beat our home” said Ella
“Don’t worry, I sent a vampire so he’s dead” said Ella
“Yes” said Dahlia
“So let’s build a log cabin”
“Great idea Sabina!”
and they lived happily ever after!

Monti’s Poem/Presentation results
Monti did a poem/speech/presentation last week to her class which Elsa and I worked with her on quite a bit. The poem was about a girl that goes on a field trip to a candy store. She of course knocked it out of the park. It also didn’t hurt that she brought some candy as props (and subsequently gave out during her performance). I’ll try to post a video of her doing it soon. (If you click the images below you can read the teacher’s comments better.)

Another Dahlia story
She’s on a roll tonight. She’s been obsessed with the Titanic for a couple of weeks now. She thinks about it a lot with the upcoming cruise this summer (and frets on it as well). The story she just told me and Monti in bed:
Dahlia: “Daddy you know Liv’s daddy? He has a friend who was on the Titanic…”
Me: “Oh really?”
(Monti starts piping up “Hey you mean great-great-great-grandfath….” Dahlia cuts her off)
Dahlia: “yeah! And he didn’t die! he had only underwear and it was made out of polar bear skin so he didn’t die.”
