Fortunately Stories
By Barwell Elementary's First Graders

This adventure started by reading a story called Fortunately by Remy Charlip. It's the story of some fortunate and unfortunate things that happen to a young boy named Ned. After we read the story, our first graders wrote their own Fortunately stories. Enjoy!
