Creative writing assignments can be so fun when you are homeschooling. No subject is taboo or too political or too whimsical.
My youngest needed more writing time so I told him to write a letter to Santa. From the view point of an elf. Trapped in a stocking.
This is what I got:

Dear Master Santa: HELP!!!
As I was checking out a fireplace, like you asked, I decided to check the possible volume that a stocking could hold while I waited for the pickup mini sled. I accidentally fell in and got stuck. As I was trying to get out I discovered traces of coal, I think we should do a background check on "Ryan". Back to the point, I need help getting out of here. Don't come in yourself. You still have ten more days and we need to be quiet, maybe you can send in the EERS (Elf Emergency Rescue Squad). Don't send Lenny. I still think he caused the "chocolate incident" last week. If they're not up for it, send Twinkly, he may not help but at least I will have company down here. Please come quickly.
