Picture!

Linnea knocked this collage together this morning to make me feel better. There are a few more, but she spent over 20 minutes on this one so it's the most impressive to my mind. I must work out how to solve the problem of her needing an adult to help find the end of the tape. Better tape?

Writing

From flashcards, we constructed the beginning of a story:

once there was an ancient
tower it fell down

And she copied it out with lines to indicate word gaps and zig-zags to indicate "continued on the next line":

once|there|wAs|AN ∫
ANCieNt|towEr|it|fEll ∫
down

And she called Emer over to look at every E; Emer was very excited by them, it's very important when someone writes an E or an e.

Cutting out

This is the hole that Emer cut. I drew around a toilet roll insert, then, without my guidance, she put the picture on top of a piece of playdough, stabbed a hole in it, and cut from the hole as close to the lines as she dared.
