Kate's Writing

As we are approaching the 100th day of kindergarten (Kate just told me today was #94), I thought I would share some of her writing. Each week she brings some home and I love reading what she has written....way more fun than grading the writing pieces my 6th graders turn in!

You can click on the photos to enlarge them so that you can read what she's written. Who knows, these may be the first pieces of the next great American author. ;)




Apparently she "likes" mom, and "loves" dad...going to have to speak with her about that one!

Little Rocket

 Six days ago the windchill was -45*. So we were thrilled when we stepped out to a balmy 40* (for those of you calculating is an eighty-five degree difference, which is ridiculous). We spent some time at the neighborhood park and the kids had no trouble finding things to do, including FLYING down the slide made quicker by melted snow & snow pants. It was a fantastic way to fight the cabin fever that has plagued us all!
