I just rembered my teacher reads my blog...so I desided to right a thank you note. Dear Ms. B I want to thank you for everey thing you do. Thank you for...paying for popcorn. Thank you for...good days.
From: Emma's editor (mom) Emma brought this "book report" to me after she finished "Natalie Really Very Much Wants to Be a Star" by: Dandi Daley Mackall. I have retyped it in it's original form and clarified a few things in in brackets for the sake of understanding.. But, I wanted to have record of it in it's RAW form to show an honest picture of my sweet little girl.
I went to sleep with a good feeling in my heart because Natalie got her heart cot (caught) on Jesus (fell in love with?) in a Christmas play, because it looked real but it wus really a baby doll. She wanted to be an ackter (actor) but then she realizde (realized)in the play she loved Jesus more than enethying. She took apart her costom (costume) to cover up baby Jesus because she realised he wus the most inportent of all. And she would do enething for hem. And I finished the books!
School is fun. But it is time to go for summer. I love summer but I also love school. What should I do? My birth day is coming up so I guess I will have fun.
My family has 4 people. Let's travol back in time and see Chloe born. It semes we'v gon to far. It's ok. I praid and praid for her. The time came. I had my sister.
I don't like being sick. Because it is no fun. But the only thing I like is staying home. At first my feet were cold then I started to shiver. Then Mom took my temperature and found I had a fever. I am sneezing and I don't like it. I hope I feel better. The end.
Note from the publisher: I'm sure that there are notes coming to everyone else. In this case, the early bird got the worm. We do think you're swell Aunt Jan!
My dad tugged my loose tooth hard. I did not know my tooth came out. MY dad happily showed me. I screamed LOUD AWCHEY! The hole bled fast. I showed my mom EXCITEDLY. My mom was very VERY surprised! I had to swish some water in my mouth. The End.
An note from Emma's publisher: We are focusing on making sentences more interesting. Particularly by using adjectives. Emma has already figured how to use the spell check function. I haven't decided whether or not that discovery will be beneficial in her learning. It is my hope that we will participate in this activity often but not too often as this one post took her over an hour.
I have already gotten questions about where Emma got the title for her blog. It came from a book that we read as a family "Hope for the Flowers" by Trina Paulus. "Hope for the Flowers" is a splendid little book that tells about a brave little caterpillar named Yellow that chose to go against the flow.The result of Yellow's hard decision was the life of a beautiful butterfly in which she spends her day making the world a better place by covering it with flowers.
Not quite getting the parallel, Emma insisted that her blog had to be "Hope for the People" because, "people need hope too". --The blessed one, Emma's mom.
