Igsperument

Daniel's first-grade journal thoughts of late:

Friday
Lorrie is cuming in two owrrss. I wont to culrr with hre. I wont to go owtsid wif hre. I wont to do a craft with her. I like Lorrie.

Translation:
Lorrie (aunt) is coming in two hours. I want to color with her. I want to go outside with her. I want to do a craft with her. I like Lorrie.

Monday
Dad is cuming soon. I wont to do a siens igsperument. I wont to to owtsid with Dad. He is fun.

Translation:
Dad is coming soon. I want to do a science experiment. I want to go outside with Dad. He is fun.

Daniel is becoming more and more independent with his studies. I used to have to sit with him the whole time during writing time. Now, he does it on his own and brings it to me afterwards. I LOVED the way he spelled "experiment"! I had to laugh (privately) at the "ig" beginning. That's actually how he says it. Hearing a final "nt" is actually very good, for his age. I'm pleased with his work, except for the sight words. Still have a lot of work to do there. Evaluating his independent work helps me plan on-target lessons.

Margie left a very good recipe for roasting pork and turkey in the comment section of my Easter Sunday post (Assurance of What We Cannot See). Thank you, Margie. I can't wait to try it out!

Happy Monday! I'm headed for bed. I stayed up too late while Auntie Lorrie (Don's sister) was here. Have to get back on track.
