Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 , Thanks so much for sharing that. What a wonderful story - I'm sure you are filled to the gils with pride. I can only wait and hope that something that neat will come home about in a few years.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 that's so cute. That's great she is reading, Nic is still learning letter sounds-he knows 11 so far-and this was the goal the SPED director said he wasn't ready for.... today Nic came home with a shamrock that said " Daer Nick F I like you beck you are a nice gine it's your luck day From jacob " -- I still haven't deciphered the " gine " yet.

Well, apparently as part of this exercise, the kids write about what they learned about the queen (or king) or what they think about them and draw a picture of the person. Here are some of the precious comments 's classmates wrote about her (1st grade spelling/grammer intact): " beth you are special because you ware glasses you are a good reader. you are nice " " you are nice. you are a nice queen. " " you are a nice friend. " " you are pretty. I like you. " " you are smart. You are a good reader " " you are a great friend. You are nice " " you are nice. I like you. you are fun. " and the longest one..... " is nice. She is a good gril. She weres nice clos. She has nice riding. She is special " The pictures were even better. has a range of hair color and lengths from blonde to black (it's really long, medium brown, almost always worn in 2 ponytails), wears glasses in half the pictures (really does all the time), but in 18/19 pictures, she is wearing a blue dress. Interesting observations from her classmates! will read this book over and over again (I think she wore out the kindergarten " Beary Special book " ), and hopefully feel as good as I did reading these simple thought from her friends and classmates. They may all write the same thing in each child's book, but I'm hopeful that these kids are really seeing her for the neat kid she is. Anyway, it choked me up, and I'll keep it handy tomorrow night when we are trying to explain " What's the rule " , and counting quarters :-) , mom to (9), (7 DS), and (5) Click reply to all for messages to go to the list.
