This one’s for Emily!
This post is a celebration of good writing by Emily, one of the students in my Wrinkles group. She wrote it in honor of SuperThinker! It’s a story full of idioms! Hope you enjoy!
Once opon a time, there was a great super hero, busy as a beaver helping the World Wide Web blog. It’s SUPERTHINKER!!!! Using only hi-tech equipment, she never buys a pig in a poke.
One sleepy day, Superthinker heard a yell for help, so soaring through the air she heard the cry for help once again. She was all ears, “Aha” she said spotting the distressed blogger. “Help!!!!!!!!!!” She heard again but landed next to the blogger in distress. “HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU CHANGE THE BLOGS BACKGROUND SUPERTHINKER!!!” The Blogger screamed, attracting attention. Right then, Superthinker knew the blogger was chewing up the scenery and making a mountain out of a molehill. Then Superthinker told the blogger what to do in a nutshell. “Don’t worry, it’s a piece of cake.” She then was interrupted. “But I heard through the grapevine about all of this complicated nonsense!” See you press this button and do this.” Thank you so much Superthinker! I didn’t mean to make waves!!!” the blogger said while taking his hat off. “Also don’t think you have to shape up or ship out to be a blogger, Rome was not built in a day you know!” Superthinker added, as she zoomed off. The blogger was on cloud nine and was tickled pink.

Wow–SuperThinker is sooooo honored. Here is the blog post SuperThinker just finished:
Today, I, SuperThinker, world famous superhero blogger, really got a kick out of a post by Emily. Being honored by her praises, I flew quick as a wink to my computer Her writing proves that she‚s no slouch. Though I am superfabulous in my own right, I was really bowled over by her great writing! She‚s a quick study and writes about important subjects but never bites off more than she can chew! Rain or shine I‚ll always be her fan.
She‚s part of a group of great thinkers who are A-okay in my book! Since they always do a bang up job, I keep an eye out for their writing. The group‚s head hancho, Mrs. Davis, is on the cutting edge, always on the dot, and never rubs her readers the wrong way! To top it all off, she‚s never tight fisted with compliments.
Don‚t bang your head against a wall trying to figure out if I, SuperThinker, will ever forget Emily and the great honor she gave me. My answer–not on your life!
Also, see my post about what happened when the 5th graders saw the Wrinkles comments. This is really cool stuff!
