My little seven-year-old empty shell turned into a sunny little fellow when it came to his assignment for "Sun Facts!!!"
Translation: "The sun is a star made of gas. The sun gives global warming to the Earth. The sun is a star. Without the sun, the Earth wouldn't have any life."
That last sentence isn't exactly true, but hey...it's first grade. We'll clarify later.
His picture is a sunset. And those little tiny things on the mountain on the left? That's us, the DMFP family. I'm pretty sure I'm the one coming in dead last, thinking about turning back with every incremental increase in altitude. I mean, look at the angle of the slope on that thing.
I have a feeling a child headshrinker type could have a field day with this picture.
An SLP might also have a good time with it. I'm pretty sure the invented spelling is a direct reflection of how he hears these words. It certainly reflects how he says them. And I wunt haf it ine udder way from my favorite seven-year-old on this Urf.

I am convinced that your son would like to see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JdWlSF195Y
Especially as it agrees with him about the issue of life on earth.
Of course, you desire to get the science right is also admirable and, to that end, after watching the fist video, you should watch this:

Eye toadully luff this!
As much as I (professionally) loathe invented spelling, I totally luf this story.
Awesome handwriting, by the way. Is the school using d'Nealian?
VAB, he'd totally be into those; I'll show him.
Thanks, Niksmom. He talks just like it reads.
Liz...his handwriting is indeed a thing of beauty. We've never seen such before. It's Handwriting without Tears, but he's always been tidy like that. They used d'Nealian until last year and switched over.
I think I'm just going to be an art and literature admirer and say, cant luf it enuf.
