Subject: 1st graders in JPN To: EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK

These 1st graders did a fantastic job...but some of the stuff they wrote comes across hullariously!

        I received this email and... well, take a guess, your looking at it now. You WILL laugh! It doesn't matter if you have or have not taught in JPN or even been to JPN. Just remember one thing. THE STUDENTS THAT WROTE ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL THINGS ARE FROM ----- JAPAN.

        Thought you might like to see what TODAY was like at school.  Hope you Enjoy.

        I just finished grading 200 student papers for the written portion of the 1st year final examinations.  We have been practicing writing REAL letters to my students in America, and the teacher thought it would be a great idea for the students to also write a pretend letter to America for their final.  She let me correct all the spelling errors, sentence structure etc. etc. etc.

        I noticed as I was plodding away at the 200 papers that some of the kids were writing hysterical things.  Most of the funny stuff is only funny in English and the kids have no clue that their small spelling mistakes and sentence structure made me laugh out loud.  I decided to write down every "GEM" I came across and I am passing them along to you. I am not making these up.  I have not changed a word of what the students wrote!  A final note before you read these.  The overall letters were amazing and I couldn't have been happier with their writing.  They did a fantastic job for 1st graders!!!!!!!!!!! Here they are?..
