Parent Teacher Conferences

Its parent teacher conference time, and so the boys had the chance to show me the work they are most proud of.

This is Tanner's house with a story inside, about his Family:

I have a bruthr and a sistr and dad and mom. There names are Jooleea, Scot and Seenu and Chasetin.  Our favorite place is Micdonals. And we bulev in God and Jeesis. My dads job is a probashin offucr. My moms a carpet cleaner. Our favorite game is candyland, we always play it. My mom and dad joke.

Spelling obviously isn't his strong point!   I love that he put that we believe in God and Jesus, that impressed me. Also I haven't been to Mcdonalds or played Candyland in at least a good year, so I'm not sure where those things came from... And mom and dad joke??  I have no clue. I guess we are pretty silly around here:)

This is Chasetin's self portrait:

After talking about Martin Luther King, they had to write their own "I believe" speeches. His, in case you can't read it says: 

I have a dream that gas prices will go down and wars and cancer will be stopped.

Apparently I might complain about gas prices just a little too much?!!?  I asked where the cancer thing came from, because as I thought about it, he doesn't know anyone that has cancer. But apparently, they have been making valentines for kids with cancer, and I was touched that he understood what they were actually going through.
