Gracie's First Poem
I meant to type it all out last week before she turned it in for school--but I didn't get the time. So, now that the poem has been graded and returned I thought you would love to hear just how imaginative and creative my daughter is.
Miss. Anderson is taking a whole new approach to homework this half of the year. Instead of just writing their spelling words over and over and writing sentences--they get to choose 4 different "activities" to do with them.
Gracie chose, "choose 7 words and write a poem or song," "use refrigerator magnets to spell out your words," "type your words 3 times on the computer," and "write your words in bubble letters." There are 12 different "activities" to choose from each week--and Gracie is even more excited about her words than ever.

Very good,Gracie! I'm so proud of you. I think all the new activities your teacher has for learning your spelling words are going to make spelling lots of fun! Love you bunches!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Gracie!! We write our words in shaving cream sometime, but Mommy might not want you to do that. It's kind of messy!
ReplyDeleteWe all learn different ways - some of us are visual learners, some learn more quickly when they hear something, some learn more quickly if they can actually feel or do something. . . . Put them all together and you've got one exciting learning process. By the way, Barbara, you incorporate ALL of these a lot in most of the things you do with the kids. I just love to see all the incredible things you do! I thought I did a lot with my boys, but you surpass anyone I know. And Candice, I like the shaving cream idea. Way cool!
