Nackie the almost first-grader

Natalie has been working hard on her reading with me this summer. I am so proud of how far she's come. It wasn't easy, but it seems like things really clicked and now she has confidence and enjoys reading. For a long time, it was a dreaded chore. She is so ready for first grade! Way to go Nat! She also has very nice handwriting - every reading lesson has a couple letters to practice writing and she is a pro now.


Natalie has always been a pro at drawing. This is what she LOVES to spend her time doing and she is so creative. Her pictures always make me smile. If there's one thing the girls are good at and enjoy doing, it's definitely drawing pictures. I think this particular drawing is a park design with winding sidewalks and gardens and teeter totters. All the makings of a great park in my opinion!
