spelling sentences

It's the last full week of school. All week long the kids have been bringing home various folders, nametags and odd bits of paper that have resided in the dark recesses of their desks all year long. One item carted home in Teresa's backpack was her spelling journal. Every week she would write sentences in the notebook. One for each of her spelling words that week. Teresa loves to write and as tedious as spelling sentences sounds, it was probably her favorite homework. I started flipping through the notebook, just reading idly and began to chuckle. She is so funny. Whether she means to be or not. Some of the sentences give insight into Teresa's personality. Some are just a little goofy. Some are heartwarming. And a lot are about food...go figure.

Sometimes school annoys and bothers me. (ha!)

I sometimes gnaw on my food.
You'd smell if you did not take a bath. (she's brilliant...no?)
I am afraid of a mythical creature. (there she goes with the fancy words...mythical has much more punch than pretend or made up)

I have a nice and loving family. ♥
I have to chew my food before I swallow.
I just adore the soft cushion on the chair. (what eight year old thinks things like this?)

I will talk on the walk on the bog. (must have been Dr. Suess week.)

I have fairness. I'm not full of it though. (the honesty kills me! ha!)
