Ummm....

...at least he's grasping the concept?  Just trying to put a positive spin on this one...

I got an email from B's kindergarten teacher today.  She wanted to give us warning ahead of time so we wouldn't think she was a terrible teacher.  I guess B's been copying down a lot of words lately, and she wanted to know where he was as far as actually spelling words.  So she asked him to write down some words from out of his head.  In B's defense, he can spell a whole lot of words, but I'm sure it's absolutely true that these were the only words that came to mind:

POOP
FRTE

A note about the second one:  some people spell it FART.  B was logically applying the "magic E" rule to R:  magic E makes the vowel before it say its name.

I laughed until I cried, and did my best to get that out of my system before I had The Talk with B about how the at-home ban on potty words extends to school too.
