(oh, and you elementary ed folks can just keep quiet until everyone gets a chance to guess)
Interpreting first-grade phonetic spelling requires a massive leap in imagination, and is not for the faint of heart. (She got Grandma to write the first lines, but 'metacognition' is straight from the first grade classroom. These are NOT your mother's elementary years.)
We spent Thanksgiving weekend in my grandparents's one-room schoolhouse, renovated long ago to use for weekends in the country.
Needless to say, the original blackboard seriously captured the imagination of my little schoolgirl, and she happily spent hours and hours schooling her cousin and brother. This was the syllabus on the last day.
Oh, and here are the answers:
READING
1) Today We Will use metacognition to summarize our Weekly Readers [promise, she dictated this to Grandma]
2) MATH: TWW [use] easy ways to count on
3) SCIENCE: TWW make our models
4) WRITING: TWW use crayons or markers to underline the important words
The thing about this girls is, you are never. EVER. bored. Driven to distraction, yes. Bored, no.

LOVE the picture! She looks so excited! I have no freaking idea what metacognition means, however..
oh, and dear readers you will notice not one, not two, but three real life bullet holes in this here blackboard...
School in West Virginia = good times
OK, I had to scroll up to see the bullet holes and yep, big as life. How scary is that??
