Last week we read the story Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky. We also listed to the story being told by an African Story Teller. We talked about how folktales often try to explain or give reason for why things in nature are like they are. This story shared with us that Sun and Moon were forced into the sky when Sea and his friends filled up their tiny house with water after being invited in. I want you to CREATE (exercise your brain) your own story for why Sun and Moon live in the sky. Be creative... make sure your story has a beginning, middle, and end! I can't wait to read them!

Once upon a time, the Sun and the Moon wanted dinosaurs to come over but their house was too small for the dinosaurs. And the dinosaurs wanted to go in, so they can be protected from the earthquake. The ground started to shake, while the Sun and the Moon were building a bigger house for dinosaurs. Then there was an eruption from the volcanos and a big asteriod went into Earth. The Sun and Moon were finished with the house and the dinosaurs were running into the house, and then they shut the door just in time. Then the dinosaurs jumped on top of the roof and the Sun and Moon went on top too. And then the lava was rising, and it came higher and higher until everything stopped and nothing moved. The dinosaurs built a rocket and they blasted out into outer space and the Sun and Moon had to move to living in the sky.

Once upon a time, a little boy was playing soccer. He was playing with lots of different balls. One time, he wasn't paying attention and two balls rolled by him. These balls were the sun and the moon. He kicked these two balls so hard that the flew into the sky. The little boy was surprised and happy when he saw the sun and moon fly into the sky because he didn't know he could kick that high.

Once upon a time the sun and moon lived in a giant house. Then they told the sea to come without all of its sea creatures. The sea wanted to know why he couldn't bring the sea creatures in the house. Then sun said he could bring in half of his sea animals. Then the sea got distracted and he brought all of the sea animals and the house exploded. Then sun and moon had to fly up into the sky.

This is why the sun and moon live in the sky because the sea brought all his animals into his house. Even a big shark. Then the shark tried to eat the sun and moon so they went into the sky. The end.
