Last week, Joanna's homework was to write a special note to a secret friend as a Christmas present. The "secret friend" was drawn out of the hat. As usual, I am supposed to look over her writing, but again, I forgot to double check her writing. After all, she did a very nice job coloring her paper and making an acrostic out of the secret friend's name.
Well, yesterday, I received a note from her teacher:
"Hi Elaine, I wanted to let you know that I am going to send Joanna’s letter home today and have her redo the assignment. This assignment was intended to give the students practice writing a friendly letter. This letter will be a gift for someone. Joanna is a strong writer and a kind person, but her letter does not really show her strengths. Her assignment was to write a letter to her person telling them what is great about that person, and why it is great to have them in class. Please reread her letter and have her redo it. Thank you,Christe Farnum"
Well, as soon as I went home I read her letter and was shocked and embarrassed. Here is what she wrote.
Dear Aryanna,
Your a good friend (well sort of a friend). When you're happy, I'm sort of happy. When you're sad, I'm sort of sad. When you laugh, I sort of laugh. When you leave early, I want to leave early. When I sed "when you laugh, I sort of laugh?" Well, it's not my fault! Whenever anyone laughs , I laugh.
Sincerely, Joanna
Well, I was really embarassed, that I let Joanna turn that in. Miss Farnum must think I am a monster! What a terrible mom, that I am.
When I complained to Joanna that she didn't do a good job on her letter. She said, "I know, I didn't spell "said" correctly."
