The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy picked up some dumbbells.  "How heavy are these?" she asked.  "It says the number on the side," I told her.  "Two?" she read.  "Yes," I answered.  "Two what?" she said.

Dorothy's teacher sent an email about t-shirts for a school marathon, and I mentioned to Dorothy that I hadn't heard anything about a marathon.  Dorothy offered, "We did a marathon at school before, but it was at a different school, but we did one, so I know that a marathon is a real thing."

Dorothy has much to say about various fonts and punctuation:
"I figured out how they show that something is important.  They write it thicker."
"I can write it kind of in cursive, I just turn my paper and then write it normally."
"I know what that means because they explain it after the asteroid."

On the first day of March I played some Irish music on my phone while I showered.  Dorothy came into the bathroom and asked if it was Irish music, and I was impressed at her guess, and told her yes.  A few minutes passed and I turned off the water, and could hear more clearly.  "I hate this Pirate music," Dorothy added.

In A Series of Unfortunate Events, a character who is persnickety about grammar jumps out of a window and leaves a note, which suspiciously includes grammatical errors.  I was reading the book aloud to Dorothy and I pointed out an error in the note, and pointed out that the villain had also made that same mistake.  "What do you think that means?" I prompted.  Dorothy gasped:  "She's not actually good at grammar!" she accused.

The Sunday Funny

Dorothy is reading A Series of Unfortunate Events.  Brian said to her, "I like that the book uses big words but then it tells you what they mean."  "Yeah," she replied, "why don't they just use small words instead?"

Evening fun with friend Iona

Dorothy's spelling homework was to write a letter to a book character using her spelling words

 

Amelia Bedelia,

Do you have a boat?  Do you have a favorite soap?  Do you like toast?  When was the last time you were on the road?  Do you have a favorite show?  Do you grow flowers?  Do you like to throw balls?  Do you like the color yellow?  Do you know why we have toes?  Oh here goes my time for writing to you!

Love,

Dorothy

Here's the inventory of what we'll dig up on 2/22/28

 

Dorothy has been working on a time capsule which she wanted to bury on 2/22/22

Students got to wear tutus, tie dye, tiaras, and/or ties today.  Dorothy has been living for this.
