(The first story is an old-ish creative writing piece, done at the end of March. On the first day of the month we have a ritual of changing all of the calendars in the house (Jon has three; I have one in my office and there’s one in the kitchen. It’s a big deal ’round these parts!) In this piece his mind was elsewhere (maybe on flipping calendars?); the teacher noted he needed reminding about periods and capitals. —L)
Friday
Tomoro will be Friday Martch 31 2006. On Friday Martch 31 2006 it will be the last day of Martch. After Martch comes April. On April 1 we change the Callindor. I have a video to watch on Friday.

(Jon has the background music from his Playstation game Spyro the Dragon loaded into iTunes, which he likes to have playing while he does his spelling practice. Mr. Multi-Tasker! —L)
The Computer
I like to go on the computer. I love going to play games but first I do my spelling with some Spyro music. After my spelling with some Spyro music I play a game called Math Missions. In Math Missions there is jump for toys and the subway. Then I love going to the next game.
Jon
Cool stories, Jon!
“Callindor” sounds like an Elvish placename, maybe a fastness in northern Beleriond. Martch sounds the name of a Hobbit who was on Sharky’s side.
I wish there were math games for adults, like Calculus Kong or Differential Dragonhunter…
