Thunder's kindergarten class uses the "Writing to Read" method. Her Highness' classes have done it as well, and while it may not produce the best spellers in the world, I have to admit they are both doing well in the reading department. Let's face it, spelling is nearly obsolete this day in age, anyway. As part of the "Writing to Read" method, Thunder's class keeps a daily journal where they are required to write about different topics. Some days the teacher will give them a theme. Others, she allows them to write freely. Here is Thunder's journal entry from December 1, 2010:
I wus sik. My Dad gav me a thro up bol.
The artwork is my favorite part of this entry. I love the frowny face on Thunder, and the "thro up bol" next to him on the couch. As well as the distressed face Bert is making, over his son being "sik." I'm left to wonder though, was this a suggested theme day, or one left open to the
writer's imagination?
During Christmas break, Her Highness wrote a note to us...
