Charlotte writing

Charlotte has become quite the little reader and writer.  I think she'll be one of those lucky kids to whom language and letters come naturally.  She's always popping up with something new written, or reading a book that shocks even me.

Even her drawing skills have developed so much in the past year.  Not even a year ago, these were the best people she had ever drawn.  Now she will come down from her room with these funny little detailed drawings, usually accompanied by a story to tell. (My favorite is the blue mustachioed figure.) She draws pictures of her friends and writes their names, she writes thank you notes, she even makes me birthday pictures.  It's amazing and fun.  Of course, I can't keep all the things she writes, so pictures are a great way to remember.

 

It's hard to see, but on the red sheet is one of the first sentences she wrote, with TONS of phonemic support from me.  It says, "cat at a flwr", A(the) cat ate a flower.

 

This is Charlotte, Paige, Parks and Cana.  She wrote Parks' name above hers (Porcs) and Cana's above his (Canu)

 

 

The three on top are cheetahs or dragons, I can't remember which.  But I do know they were all girls, that's why they have eyelashes.

So this one has a ton of writing. There's baby, dad, baby, little girl in the thin black pen, Charlotte, Paige, Jacob in the pink, and baby kids, goblins, and dragon (gagin) in pink. (Notice the blue wings on the brown figures.  Dragons!) This was all done while I wasn't even in the room. Love it!
