A cute letter

They had to write letters in one of my coworkers class this week and one of my students gave this to me afterwards. It is more authentic in person but I thought it was quite cute:

"Deer Clark

Hello
My name is Clark (J.r) too.
We are have a same name!
But you are men! Im boy. It is
diffrent.

I'm sorry, because I don't
have many speak. I don't have
what I want to say. I don't have
a idea Sorry
bye

from Clark j.r"

I feel special because this little boy(about 9 or 10 years old) who used to be named Eddy changed his name to Clark Jr. Upon hearing this, one of my students told me that he was changing his name to Junior Clark. I told him that this was too confusing and he should just stick with David.

Why do I feel extra special? Well I have only been teaching for 4 months and I have already had two kids try to change their name to my name. On the other hand, my mom and my auntie have been teaching for around 20 years and I have never once heard of any students trying to change their names to Penny or Pat. :) Too bad.

This letter is now posted on my fridge next to Kevin's writing assignment. Here is my favourite excerpt from that paper:

"I'm very very fat and go to W Academy. I like ham, computer game and soccer."

Without even knowing Kevin, I guess it is obvious that Kevin likes ham a little more than soccer. Truth be told he is a little big but not too fat!
