We Interrupt These Check-Ins to Bring You...


Lucy's phonetic spelling. She's way into writing; constantly cranking out stories, cards, etc. This particular piece, done at some point during a recent school day, was published in a student submissions section of the school newsletter called "Precious Voice." If can can enlarge her writing, it's not too hard to follow the phonics and figure out what she's getting at. The transcription is at the bottom, if you get stuck.

Good stuff.

She has a far more positive sense for what it would be like to be in something's belly than most.

She trusts the school and feels comfortable there, maybe. Either way, excellent.

I think you're right on, Stephen.

Of course, the main thing is - wow! the little girl is writing, and writing, and writing.

She actually usually draws people with a lot more detail; particularly in the toe and finger regions.
