nom no not exactly
it was a spelling test
my mom hung it on the wall
in the hallway i see it frequently
and find myself reading the words to myself

1. skipping

2. tapping

3. hopping

4. jamming

5. calling

6. mopping

7. where

8. grabbing

9. swimming

10. gripping

11. logging
12. tagging

(i messed up on the spacing when i put my name and the date on the wrong lines at the top. but i got a silver star.)


it's one of my earliest surviving written things

(hanging nearby is a poem i wrote the week before about a pussywillow...
and in a box in a closet are another two poems
called "bears" and "just like everyone else" from around the same time

(lots got lost/thrown away over the years/moves, including my journals. i'm glad my little spelling star is still shining)

nom i dug out the box again to refresh my memory.


found some more things. more spelling tests and math tests and poems.


and some reports
"the land of the dinosaurs"
january 11th 1989
"Did you know that Brachiosaurus:
1. was nicknamed Long-Lizard?"

and "Seeds".
marked on 88-11-24
"today i planted a daffodil bulb...
Seeds can be found in
Ocen brooms jacket's and
sweters...

There are many diffrent
kinds of seeds
for example..."

(i taped seeds onto the page)
"rice poppy corn chick pea alpha alpha wheat seeds"

"Seeds need water sun
soyle air and good care to
grow...

Seeds can travel by
water, wind, your self, cats
and dogs...

Seeds can be divided into two
varieties. edible and non
edible...

Seeds are important
because they can help
Peaple and you can eat them...

My favourite seed is a corn seed
Because you can make popcorn out of them..."

the principle gave me a sticker
a bear with three balloons

TO DO IT!"

[nom] likes to draw, write, and
sew. When she grows up
she hopes to be either a
artist or a model or a fashion

Happy writing"

i wrote this below a xeroxed photo of myself in the back of a book i made called "The Four Kittens", also marked 88-11-24. the pages are stuck together so i can't really read them unless i try steaming it.
i remember i was so excited when mrs. krall bound it for me. we had a reading in the library, all the kids and their books and their parents. people wrote comments on the comments page.
it has ladybug stickers.
