Lynn update II - grammar vs creativity

Every week Lynn will be given 5 to 6 words to do sentence construction. I found that Lynn can't complete this task independently if it is to be grammatically correct. For example, she may write "daddy bring me to zoo" when it should be "daddy brings me to the zoo". So usually I will ask her what she wants to write and teach her how to write it correctly.

Yesterday she was suppose to use the word "platform". She refused to tell me what she wants to write and started writing on her own. To my horror/puzzlement, her first 3 words were "The train say". But I kept quiet and waited for her to finish her sentence. To my amusement her full sentence is "The train say"Mind the platform gap"". Wahahaha, i am soooo proud of this grammatically incorrect sentence that I did not correct it to see what will be the teacher's reaction!
