Matthew and his writing

I like reading what the kids write at school.

Here are a few things Matthew wrote lately that made me smile.

 Musical Favorites
1. Instrument: Flute
2. Vocal Artist:  Pete Townshend
3. Genre: Rock (boys)
4. Song: You're a Rock Star (he means the Smash Mouth song)
5. Music Class Game: Up the Ladder
What is your favorite way to experience music?
Play the piano.

I like that he put Pete Townshend (from The Who) as his favorite artist.  He really likes the song Let My Love Open the Door.  And I liked that he put he likes "boys rock."  He's been asking me if he can play the flute for a while now.

 They were supposed to write about a favorite musical experience.

Learning to Play Piano

My favorite musical experience was when I learned to play the piano.  I started in April 2014.  I started then because it was mom's birthday and that's when she got the piano.  I learned to play the piano from a piano book.

My comments: It's actually a keyboard and not a piano and I have guilt that I haven't gotten him lessons or sat and tried to teach him the little that I know, which was my original intent.  He keeps asking if he can play the flute and I told him we'd try to learn some piano first.

 The assignment was to fill in the blank with a noun.  Just a noun.  That's it.

My favorites are 2, 3 and 4

2. We drove to town in a limo.

3. I live in a white 11 story mansion on Main Street.

4. My TV taught me how to write cursive.

So the first two? Expensive tastes?

That last one hurt a little since I taught him to write cursive and he's even acknowledged that before...but now he's forgotten about me...or he thinks I'm a tv.  :)  I know, it's just a homework assignment.
