From the “I’m Chevy Chase And You’re Not” Department:
The Early Years: Jim Can’t Swim. Or Run.
So this week I reached into my pile of ancient elementary school paperwork and pulled out this one:
The Early Years: Jim Is A Singing Snitch
I’m not sure if this checklist considers “Tells On Other Children” to be a good thing or a bad thing. And “Participates Freely in Singing”? I find that hard to believe!
The Early Years: Haunted House
This week, we have a lovely piece of artwork from the archives:
The Early Years: The What Is On The Shelf?
I’m going to file this one under “sentences that you are unlikely to see on contemporary elementary school writing assignments”. I’m sure you can guess which sentence I mean.
The Early Years: Jim Likes Animals
These “early years” samples are not really writing-related, but they probably explain a lot about why I spend so much time on Dennis’s crazy adventures.
