Writer’s World

I thought we would have a week totally without any sort of schooling, but when Selena discovered the picture I took of her napping, she had to add it to her notebook and write a story about it.

Selena Sleeping By Selena

Selena sleeps in bed.

Selena Sleeps with a pillow, blanket and hoppy.

She sleeps while sucking her thumb.

Selena woke up.

When I woke up I came out of my room.

I was so tired because I played at the park.

I played on the swing and the slide.

I even went up the big ladder and down the big slide by myself.

The End

Yes, I got her to write more today. With just a few questions and a little prompting I got her to allow me to turn the page so we could fill the back as well. I will admit as we neared the end though, Selena was getting a little anxious for the story to end. She kept going though since she wanted to fill the entire page. Sometimes it is just good to go with the flow and to allow our children to tell us what they want to do. I knew she was going to ask to write a story since she has been packing her notebook around  now the last couple of days reading every story she has wrote. We were just waiting until she found the right picture, or knew just what she wanted to write about.
