Glitter Writes

Glitter likes to write. She does far more writing than her sister did at this age, although her spelling is far worse.

********************************************
One day Glitter wrote some of her co-op science memory work on the white board. She made three columns. I didn't get a picture, so I don't remember her misspellings. The first column listed the classfication of living things: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. The second column listed types of mammals: fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds. The third column listed the stages of metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa, adult.

********************************************
Here is a story that Glitter wrote. Glitter wrote it a few days ago in her free time and showed it to me. Then it disappeared. Today I discovered it again when straightening the sofa cushions. It is in a little blank booklet that I make for the kids to play with. She also drew a picture to go with it. (Her pictures also lag far behind what Sparkle was doing at this age.)

Oh, and the only reason "Once upon a time" is spelled correctly is because I got tired of seeing her misspell it over and over again, so I broke down and taught it to her a few weeks ago.

Translation:

A Big Dog

Once upon a time there was a little blue bird. It was sitting on a branch of a tree. Then one day a mean dog came up and almost got the bird.

The End.
