Jenelle's writing

Recently, I have been using a highlighter to write letters (a trick I learned from the Kindergarten teachers back when I taught school) and then putting a dot to show Jenelle where to start making the letter. We started with her name and she did so well that we worked on Clayton's name, too. Now she is learning all the letters for Mommy, Daddy, Jenelle, Clayton, and Wally. She is doing so well. She loves doing it. She's even doing better than some of the second graders I used to teach! (That could be a slight exaggeration, but only slight--honestly).

She completed her paper.

Notice the concentration, the proper hold on the pencil and the careful way she makes her "d". I'm a proud mommy/teacher!
