The Missing Teacher/Aaron S

It was an ordinary day at Nelson Rural School until the science teacher Mr. Waye never came to school which was very strange because he was never late or sick before. He normally was always at the door but today he wasn’t and there was no substitute either. So his students didn’t have to do their schoolwork.
The next day, he didn’t show up either, but a substitute did. When the principal called Mr. Waye’s house, there was no one home. Later that day, the principal went to Mr. Waye’s house to see what was going on. When he got there, he found a note saying that Mr. Waye was kidnapped!
Once they found the note they called the police and they started investigating. The next day the police said that the only thing we could do was to keep watch and if we found anything to call them. After that the teachers went back to teach the remainder of the school day. When they got to Mr. Waye’s classroom they found another note that said " If you want to find him you have to solve this riddle; I’m in a room that takes you up high and it feels like you are in the sky, I can see playgrounds and a church nearby, and an island who’s trees are so high. When you figure it out your teacher will be there".
Once they finished reading it they all started to guess and every time they made a guess they had to check that spot to make sure he wasn’t there so it took a long time. Finally after about an hour the grade 2 teacher Mrs. Dickson said to check the penthouse {which is a room that has stairs that lead up to the roof}. So they went and checked and found Mr. Waye tied up. Once they untied him they went up onto the roof and seen the kidnapper driving a way on a black snowmobile and they never seen the kidnapper again.

That's a very awesome story. It's funny, and it creates a sense of imagery. The only thing I think you should revise is that some of your sentences run on, so maybe seperate a few with some commas.

We think that your story sounds pretty good and has a lot of details. The only thing we would suggest is to revise your sentences because a few of them are run on.

Your story has improved a lot! It's very well structured, descriptive and enjoyable to read!

The only thing I think you could improve on is that the story ends very sudden. To make it longer and more interesting, you should say some of the other guesses that students and teachers made to answer the riddle, and tell about them going to those places and searching for Mr. Waye there.
