Cute Kindeegartener

I can't get enough of my cute kindeegartener and the things he brings home. I love to see his brain working as he struggles to learn a new word or on paper when he writes a new sentence. I wish I knew the educational term but his class has been working on building words by breaking down each sound, or something like that. Why didn't I major in elementary education?? Anyway, here are some examples that make me think this kid a thinker.

Lemnad (Le-mo-nade)
Liun (Lion)
Lasso
Nif (knife)
Scrl (squirrel)
Fon (phone)

a bear hibrnats. (his periods are as big as his letters so everything looks like it has an "o" after it.)
a fox hunts.
a goos flis south.
a moos staz (stays).
an oul hunts.
a har (hare) gets wit(white).

His favorite winter memory is building a snow fort and if he could give Kevin and I any gift he would give Kevin a football and me a ring.

So many sweet things Pete brings home from school, so little time to record them all. Lately he's brought home one sheet that says "If I have a problem, this is how I will calm down: Hum a tune." He had drawn a bunch of music notes for the accompanying illustration.

He also had a to draw a WANTED turkey with a disguise on it around Thanksgiving. He chose to disguise his turkey as a ninja and he said the reward for finding this turkey would be 5000 LEGO sets! Wow.
