For Sophie's first writing assignment of the year I (and all the other first grade parents) had strict instructions not to help with spelling or grammar or punctuation. This led to strong negative feelings from Sophie, including several threats that she was running away because she didn't know how to spell "thing."
It was an exciting day.
She finally got through the work, a few lines where she was asked to write about and draw a picture of her favorite thing. I thought she was going to write about her treasured stuffed red panda Delly. But she surprised me by writing about someone else.
"My speshl thing is my baby bruthr bekus he maks me happe."
Translation: My special thing is my baby brother because he makes me happy.

Makes my heart happy. What a wonderful sister. I love her picture too.
I love the way she makes noses and sideways mouths. And already knew she was very possessive of her baby brother.
Great job Sophie! I really like your drawing. It is colorful and very expressive.
