Day 26
On this day, in English, I let my kiddos write a letter to me. I was trying to test their sentence-writin' skills, and I told them they could tell me anything they wanted me to know. Here are some examples of what I got:

Favorite parts: "I do not hate you....I will never hate you. Never in my life I would not say I hate you." "I will never give up. I will never give up on learning."

"I like to play. Do you like to play? But not in grass. I am allergic to grass."

"You are fun and sunny and funny." "And you like math just like us."

"I love you. I do not like math." "I love dog and tree with apple on it."

"You are as sweet as shugr." "Your pridey too you are the best and people love you and very hair is pridey your eye and your heart is pridy too and I love the way you dress."
