Sentences

Brandt brought home this paper from school this week.  He was to write three sentences using word wall words and animals pictures he drew himself.  Here is his work.  I will provide a bit of translation.

Sentence 1. The web is on the mouse. ("Web" and "mouse" are the picture words.)

Sentence 2. The bus in on the treasure map. ("Bus" and "treasure map" are the picture words."

Sentence 3. The alligator stepped on the pin. (When I looked at "alligator" I said, "Oh, is that a spider? No, it only has six legs.  Is it a bug?"  "No," Brandt replied, "It's an alligator."  Obviously.  How did I miss it?  Six legs, giant body, tiny head.  So "alligator" and "pin" are the picture words.")

We love that Brandt is writing and reading.  His handwriting is pretty bad, but it is getting better.  His coloring too.  All of a sudden it seems, he is coloring inside the lines, selecting different colors for things, and really making an effort to do it well.  We love to see him improving and learning and really thriving at school.
