School is officially in swing and off to a busy but good start. My class this year is well behaved and general make me happy with no major behavior issues thus far. In Sepemteber we have been studying 'Authors and Letters' in English. We have read two books by Roald Dahl, The Twits and Esio Trot. The students then wrote a letter to the author about The Twits and then wrote a letter to a character in Esio Trot. One of my students really cracked me up with his letter...its not the content but his spelling...its just too cute! You can at least make out what he was trying to spell (which is better than some kids) and I just had to share. I have changed the name to keep it confidental but I hope it brings a smile to your face as it did mine!! :) The words in italics is the word he means in case you cannot make the word out.
His first letter was to Roald Dahl about The Twits which we read in class.
