Thank you to the Two Writing Teachers
Natalie's teacher called me over to chat at pick-up today. At first, I felt nervous...thinking, uh-oh, what did she do? My nerves calmed as we chatted and she shared that what she wanted to show me was this picture:
She talked about how Natalie is blossoming into a writer who's using invented spelling to send a message with her writing. Here, she drew a picture of the fam and wrote, "ILVYU"-I love you.
I immediately asked if she could send me this picture as I wanted to save it for Nat. She's so proud of her work! I thanked her teacher for sharing it. We continued to chat about how rewarding teaching is-I'm glad we had this moment and I'm glad we captured this work.
She's becoming a writer...
I still have some of my daughter's first writing pieces. They are so sweet. Your daughter seems so sweet too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will hold this moment close to your heart Amy. When young learners begins to think of themselves as writers and readers, it is indeed a special realization. One we can truly savour.
