Mallory: has a temperature of 104 and came home early from school, sick again. Though to be honest, I am surprised that she went at all today - she didn't look good right from the get-go (but insisted that she wanted to give it a shot).

Liam: wrote this in response to the writing prompt, "Said the Spider to the Fly: pretend you are a spider. You want to invite Mr. Fly for dinner.":

Can you com ofr for dinner. We code have lots of food. We code go to a restrrote.

I adore the fake-it-til-you-make-it mentality of Grade 1.
