No Odanawe Post
For the next few weeks I think I'm going to have to start posting my favorite student essay from each day. And my favorite spelling of a big word as written by an 8-year-old.
The essay prompt is something like this: You are on a playground and you come across a strange object. Tell a story about what it is and what happens once you find it.
Most of the kids find a diamond or a magic gem, an animal of some sort, an egg, or an alien. And then you have the kids who are just way out in left field. Yesterday my favorite found object was "A Soap Statue Shaped Like a Rat." O_o Because I mean, a rat statue wouldn't be weird enough. This one is made of soap.
So today's favorite response involved the child finding a fossil. They went to show it to their teacher, but she wasn't an arklegest [archaeologist], so they took it to Jakey Chan, who was an arklegest, and "a good one as a matter of fact."
Other notable 3rd grader spellings for today:
odanawe [ordinary]
cefl [careful]
acetylent dorpdtit [accidentally dropped it]
Sometimes there are words that not one person in a room with 100 test scorers in it can figure out what the hell they meant to say. Ah, to be 8 again.
HAPPY LOST DAY! Ongoing post will be up at 10 for anyone who wants to spazz with us :D
And I'm all proud of myself now because I actually won a challenge at
starttheclock XD
