Spelling in a fifth grader can be a very creative activity. Reading their writing at times can take the deciphering skills of the CIA. It gets really fun when a misspelled word ends up being the correct spelling of another word. This happened to me yesterday when Jason finished his Terra Nova testing about thirty minutes early and had time to kill. He chose to draw and after several "masterpieces" he made me a special card. It has a picture of an airplane trailing a banner, which reads, "U.S. Jamie is the beast". So true!
Today, Sierra came in with a new hairdo. Her much anticipated body wave. Sierra has a simple bob, reminiscent of Ramona Quimby, and was very excited about this new coif. She kept tossing her hair, and scrunching up her new curls. Flipping her short locks around in an attempt to gain some attention. I must say, be careful what you ask for! Robert turns to Sierra at lunch and says, "Why is your hair so wrinkly today?"
