We had parent-teacher conference with Joaquin's second grade teacher Friday. He got a nice report. He's excelling in math and reading at a 3.7 grade level.
The kids get to pick out their best work and put it in a binder at school. They wrote stories and bound them together. He titled it "My Family Story," by Joaquin, 12-18-08. I'm typing out the stories, typos, punctuation (lack of), spelling errors and all. His teacher says that she loves the content of his stories but he needs to work on his writing. He especially doesn't like cursive.
This is the first story. He likes to write FIN at the end of his stories. He said he'd learned it from an episode of "The Simpsons."

This one he wrote in cursive. He still needs lots of practice in cursive but agreed to write this for his teacher. Interestingly, I find it easier to read his cursive than his print:

I got tired of transcribing his work. Maybe I'll finish it later. Not sure where I was going with this post, just examples, I guess. If I remember, I'll edit this post. Tah! for now.
