More Bragging, Different Child



In the picture above is an example of "kidwriting," If you don't know what that is it's basically where a kid writes with no help. They're encouraged to at least find the first and last sounds in each word. In the above picture they were doing a project on Columbus. You can see the person (Columbus) and his three ships. What I'm so proud of is how close he came to sounding out the sentence he decided to write about him.

In case you can't see it in the pic Logan wrote:
HE f_d Umic.
(the _ is the "magic symbol" they use if they know there's more sounds but can't figure them out.)

The adult writing is the teacher writing what Logan was trying to write:
He found America.

Not too shabby for an early kindergartener. I'm not surprized really. He is so good at reading. He sounds out words quickly and correctly and knows at least 40 words by sight. Read and write on, Logan! I'm proud of you!
