Cj's Journal

Today, Cj brought home his notebooks that he had in his desk all this school year. Such a sad time. Except, going through them is quite interesting. This is probably a post mostly for Shane, who loves the Cj-isms.
Cj's teacher, Ms. Reed, would give the class a topic each morning when they came into the classroom. Then she would give them a few minutes to write about the topic in their daily journals. For Cj, it was a time to just jot down some random thoughts. So, to get a better idea of Cj's random mind, I decided to blog about some of his entries......Some were funny, such as the entry about what he would see at the zoo. His entry was "penguins, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, lions, tigers and bears - oh my." And some were odd, such as the entry titled, "I would like to be a Devil Ray". But here are a few of my favorites in his exact words...
This one is a little hard to read. It says, "My birthday is December 25. I was born on 1999. Christmas is the time year where family get together. Good kids get presents and bad kids get cole." I'm just hoping Cole is not a kid in his class! :)
This topic was to describe foods that you like. Plain and simple!
This topic - what you would do if you were President...what does an 8yr old know about taxes? And this day, well, who knows what the topic was, but whatever it was, Cj wasn't ready to talk about it!

He is a trip and a half. Its a blessing to see the great work that You and Mike put into him and see the intelligence just glowing from him.
Thanks for the shout out.

I can relate to the last entry. There are many days when those are my thoughts exactly!
