Okay, so we started home school early this summer due to a broken wrist. We are actually about half way through the first quarter of the school year. One big focus this year is writing skills. I'm looking for complete sentences, spelling, punctuation, content, etc. Our son is dictating his sentence to me each day (he's four years old). Our daughter is supposed to be writing a paragraph a day about an assigned topic and drawing a picture to match her writing. Today, I was sad to say she only wrote one sentence; yet I was totally blown away by her sentence.
Today's topic was "Today is Be an Angel Day. Write about a time when you were an angel to some one or when some one was an angel to you." Here's her entry.
It may not be what every sixth grader is writing, but I know it was from her heart! My mommy/teacher heart was blessed beyond measure today!
