Ellie with her completed sticker chart. The chart is her sharing item today. She immediately ran in and showed her teacher and explained her accomplishment.
She also explained that she didn't want a toy now, that she was going to earn lots and lots of more stickers so she could get a really really big toy, the castle! Yes, in the car she told me she wanted to do more sticker charts to get a big toy...not just a toy now. So we will see how that goes.
The other big concept from today:
Ellie explained to me that not all friends were allowed to go to school together, but MLK jr. fixed that so now all kids can be friends and go to the same school. She seemed very upset and bothered by the fact that there was a time when people wouldn't let friends all go to the same school. I don't think she understands why kids were segregated, but that they were and that it wasn't nice. She told me it was wrong, but now she gets to go to school with all her friends and that makes her happy. See, big concepts.
And for fun, some art work...

So not art, but her school work. I asked her what these words were, and by sounding out the letters (not memorization), she correctly identified the words. She also said that the big kids can read books at school and she wants to learn her letters do she can read books like a big kid too.
