Adrienne_in_TX Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 DS10 had to write a descriptive paragraph in English today. The directions stated that he could write about anything he could observe with his eyes, so we now have a lovely little paragraph about . . . dog poo! He thought I would make him pick another topic as he came giggling into the room, but Mommy is sneakier than that! We learned proofreading marks, combined short sentences, got apostrophes into contractions, chose a strong adjective, and rewrote a final draft. If it gets the job done, he can write about boogers and toots for the time being. We'll work on more refined subject matter later when his confidence is up a little! Boys are a hoot!!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fhjmom Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 That's funny!!!:lol: In my house, the girls are just as bad, though. Today DD was instructed to write a sentence in response to the prompt that she just saw a flock of ducks in the backyard (she was studying commands and exclamations). Her sentence: Get the shotgun!

Parrothead Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It's not just boys! My oldest dd has the goriest sense of humor. :001_huh: Mine too. It is almost expected from boys. But when girls go that direction it is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ds18's first book report was on a Captain Underpants book. He was in a private Christian School with a very strict teacher. She said that any book that wasn't vulgar was allowed and she had no problem with his choice. She too agreed that for kids who didn't like to write, allowing them something that makes them laugh or feel silly, is a great way to break the tediousness of writing.
