Can you tell a story in 100 words using the following words in it somewhere:
- ARMOUR
- FIDGET
- NATIVITY
- TAMBOURINE
- GLOSS
- WINDSURF
- SPELLING
- BUN
- PYJAMAS
- LIGHTNING
Janine kept fidgeting with her ring while recalling the time she had spent in her pajamas creating the nativity scene out of gloss-white paperboard. Her buns were aching from the time spent sitting, but her persistence was like armour; she knew she would get everything done in lightning speed. As if a tambourine were placed right next to her head, Janine jumped out of her seat, unaware of what had startled her. She had been dreaming of windsurfing in the islands and must have fallen asleep! Now fully awake, she checked the spelling of Baby Jesus in the glitter glue. (100 Words)

I’m fine with dioramas being dropped as assignments! My mother never helped outside of procuring the supplies and I tried to do the same… their classmates would come to school with elaborate dioramas that were obviously done by a parent!!

my sister-in-law always helped her kids and the projects they turned out were magnificent! My kids never really wanted my help, which was fine. I like to see work by kids, and letting them do it all really is the best ego booster for them.

Ring fidgeting and aching buns – haha I can relate. I liked reading your story with all the words, and it all came together in the end. 🙂
