Why I love kid's writings...
I know I love my job, but there are some days that make me love it even more. While I was out on Tuesday (jet lag), I had my substitute have each student write 10 New Year resolutions for their writing assignment. I'm not too sure how she presented the concept of a resolution to the class, but I got some interesting results. Here are two examples of what I just edited. See if you can figure out which is the girl and which is the boy. Keep in mind I work with third graders
My New Year Resolution
Student 1
1. Work out a lot.
2. Do not get drunk.
3. Do not rob a bank.
4. Never hold it in. *what on earth is that suppose to mean?*
5. When you get older never cheat on your boyfriend or girlfriend.
6. Never, never, never slap a girl.
7. Never trust a stranger.
8. Get better at drop kicking.
9. Always be good.
10. Do your best all the time.
My Top Ten New Year Resolutions
Student 2
1. Drink more water than I used to.
2. Take more care of my teeth because I have cavities.
3. Read way more than usual (1 hr. or more).
4. Practice as much as I can for basketball.
5. Try to write neatly and work fast at the same time.
6. Don't forget the school rules and keep following them.
7. Don't boss my brother around so much.
8. Don't be mean to my sister.
9. Don't whine at my mom.
10. Don't whine at my dad either.
Hilarious! There were other funny ones, but I've got to head to bed soon. I just had to post those 2 for you.
Happy New Year!
P.S. I just made a New Year's photo card with a photo of the Mickster and I in Hawaii. If you want me to send one, message me your addy.
