My 2nd grader(public school) has a spelling list each week, and part of homework is to write detailed sentences using the words.
My kid write interesting sentences with details like when, why, how, where,who or when, and the sentences are grammatically correct plus make sense.
My kid likes to use slightly different spellings for proper nouns (only people names) sometimes than commonly accepted. For example: Lucie(Lucy), Engela (Angela), Juudie(Judy), Julien (Julian), Luois(Louis), Henree(Henry). And a few times, my kid used names like Reidgwin, Windeolin, Tierlor....The teacher either write the commonly accepted spelling, or puts a ? next to the weird/creative names. These are often the only corrections in the whole homework.
Kid says she wants to use her own spellings for imaginary people's names sometimes. I think my kid is right. Is she ?
Should I mention it to the teacher, or let it go and hope for a teacher with more imagination next year?
