I love teaching writing to 1st graders. They usually have very creative imaginations and I get a kick out of their phonemic spelling. I found a paper in my office today that I had written down some interesting spellings from a writing I did with my 1st graders. Can you decipher these?
1. xrsis
2. piyonirs
3. pecse ds
4. setu
5. choos
6. floieg negis
7. wisod
8. a tachin
9. wiv
10. anrg
11. cho
And a funny conversation:
“Your name is Nicole?”
“Yes, that is my first name. What did you think it was?”
“Mrs. Barczak!” (duhhhhh)

Having a first grader myself… I can totally relate….. 🙂
Oh, and….1. xrsis = exercise?2. piyonirs = pioneers?3. pecse ds = NO CLUE!!4. setu = HMM???5. choos = shoes?6. floieg negis = NO CLUE!7. wisod = wizard?8. a tachin = attaching?9. wiv = weave?10. anrg = anger?11. cho = show?
Patrick and I are sitting here trying to figure these out too, they crack me up. I agree with Nicole on most of them-we were thinking #3 is maybe pixie dust, #5 could be choose or chose too… #6 flower necklace? Please tell us the answers later! 🙂
too cute!
