She works with a tutor. Together they wrote her story which was inspired by one of the coldest winters we have had yet.

It Was So Cold...That My Sleigh Broke
by Shirley Hawkins
Last week when I was doing my papers my sleigh cracked. I noticed the crack on the bottom of my sleigh when I got home. The crack was about 12 inches long. I told Morely from S.A.M. and he took the sleigh home to fix it. He put a new board on it. I got another sleigh to use while Morely was fixing my old one. Now I have two sleighs. I think the sleigh cracked because of the cold weather we had last week.
