shared writing

We have started shared writing this week and are loving it. SO far we've been picking a topic that interests us and talking about it or looking it up on the internet for more information in the case of jellyfish then writing something together then the kids illustrate it and re-reading it each day or every other day.
This is what we've come up with so far.
Claire made up this first one on her own:

Ladybugs
Ladybugs are small and cute.
They are so sweet to find.

Jellyfish
They sometimes stay in groups
and wiggle and wiggle and wiggle.
She lives in the sea
a circle like an umbrella
with lots and lots and lots
of legs.

A Riddle Tiddle
A circle with a little hole in it
small and tasty to eat
yum! Salty crunch, crunch, crunch
You can have them with milk
or without.
What are they?
