(Boy, Jon is a prolific writer at school these days: He’s doing more blog entries than Mom and Dad!
The first story is based on an exercise in his reader directing the reader to draw a picture of a fish family having fish fun. As Tami writes: “I asked Jon if he’d like to [draw]. He said “Uh. NO! I’ll write a story!” So he did!” —L)
Fish Family Having Fish Fun
What kind of fish family is having fish fun? Goldfish are having fish fun. They are swimming with my Grandma. Do you like to swim like a fish? I like to! Because they are swimming with us. I am going to get wet. They are going to splash us. Then I’m going to jump.

(For the next story Tami suggested Jon write a story about the rice krispie squares the class made yesterday with substitute teacher Diana: “Tell me all about it. What did you use?”…)
Rice crispy Squares
I was makeing rice crispy squares. We used marshmalos and marjrin and rice crispys. The rice crispy squares smell good. I was makeing rice crispy squares with Diana. I was going to have a rice crispy square. I am about to read Frekl Juce. It is a chapter book.

Hi Jon,
I like Rice Krispie squares too. So do Vivi and Lolo. Do you know what we like even more than Rice Krispie squares? Rice Krispie balls! They are fun to make, eat AND throw! Sweet, sweet fun!
To Mireille: Encouraging our kid to throw food around the kitchen, huh? Well, two can play that game.
To Vivi and Lolo: Hey kids, you know what’s even more fun than throwing rice crispy balls? Before you make them, take the bag of rice crispies and fling it around, scattering crispies across your parents house! Just like little rice fireworks!
You’re not trying hard enough, Peter.
You know what’s even more fun, kids? Dump the Rice Krispies on the floor and then DANCE ON THEM! They go Snap Crackle Pop! Cool, eh?
