Journal

I bought the girls new journals for homework the other day.  Sydney will now be starting spelling lessons and I figured it would be good to have a notebook to store all the info in.  She is being given a list of words that are "no-excuse" words.  Meaning, she needs to spell these words correctly in writing.  I quized her on them and she missed only one of them!

Anyway, Sawyer likes to sit down and do homework whenever I am working with Sydney.  She wanted to write down the no excuse words too.  I was highly impressed with how well she wrote them down too! It was fun watching Sydney helping her out when she got stuck with a word.  After we went swimming I suggested that they both write a story about swimming and how well they were diving in the deep end and swimming laps back and forth.  I sat with Sawyer while she did her sentences and couldn't believe how far she has come since the beginning of the Kinder school year!

It seems as though Sydney's love of writing is rubbing off on Sawyer too!!

 "I went to the pool with my mom and sister Sydney.  I did dives with my sister.  We had a great time.  We had a really really had a great time.  Dad bought us new goggles."

So proud of you Sawyer Molly!!!
