spelling words

so, each week, the kids get their homework asigned on Monday, for the week. I kind of like it, to be honest. gives us a routine to go with.

C's has been like this: Mondays, write the spelling words 2 times each, math "game" with family member, read and log in your reading. Tuesday, write 5 sentences using the spelling words, math work ... read, log it. Wednesday sentences, math, read ... Thursday, spelling game for test on Fri, math work, read...

so, the last two weeks C's words have been review, he's loving the 'ease' of the duties, and being the comedian that he is, has made the sentences as interesting, and left-of-center as he can. I love the creative juices, no doubt, and he is enjoying the freedom it brings.

so, last week he is finishing up the sentences and tells me to come and read them.

the first four were fine, typical for his thinking out of the box phase he's in.

the last one struck me. initially, I was questioning him on it, but then I stepped back.

"I am the opposite of still"

;o)

how true. how stinkin' true. on so many levels.

love that thought process.

Well, don't leave me hanging - tell me the other sentences, too! Loved the one you shared here, though; I can see how that'd put a smile on your face. ;)

Ha ha ha! :o)

Here, Derek does his daily spelling words,and his "test" is to spell and give me a sentence with each one. He really cracks me up with some of them!
