Since it was time for morning break, G immediately curled up in the chair to read while R grabbed her crayons and got to work on some art.
She filled several pages in no time at all. My Reezle loves her art. Today she asked if we could do an Art lesson about Leonardo da Vinci, as she is apparently a fan. She enjoyed it, and tomorrow we are going to learn a bit about Italy and do some more sketching. I'm also going to have her "invent" something of her own and sketch it up, like da Vinci did.I want to keep those creative fires burning, so I try to come up with ideas to encourage her to think outside of the box. My very favorite aid in this is the list of writing prompts. This afternoon she wrote a lengthy piece on her favorite food made with apples. She chose apple pie, talked about how to make it, and drew a picture at the end when she was done. I think we're going to have to bake an apple pie from scratch one of these days.
