An Antarctica story

My favorite story of Calvin's as yet by far! I made this writing sheet to put in his language workbox (writing, reading, etc.). This was the first time I'd tried a writing activity like this with him. The only guidance I gave him was the sentence of instruction at the top. The composition and spelling are entirely his own (and come entirely from lots and lots of reading, and I suppose from keeping his journal, too).

"dars is an explorer. He went to Antarctica and watched the chinstrap penguins go to their nesting grounds on mount Erebus. He came to a high mountain. Then he heard a thundering and a rumbling soundof an avalanch. The noise broke through the sound of the wind. Snow and Ice started to fall from the mountain. It was an enormous avalanch. Then he watched Emperor penguins lay their egg. (transfer has to be quik). he watched the Emperor mother go to the sea to feed on kirll. (Krill are small srimp like animals). Then he got on the ship and went home. the end."
