The artist

I am so excited that my girl is blossoming as an artist before my eyes! Watching her first drawings of people and all of a sudden she can draw a house and a flower. Piñatas too!
And I can dictate the words to her and most of the time she can write it down. Wow!
Lupe's preschool has a program called raising a reader. Every week they bring a book back home with four books and they have a special notebook in which to do something related to one of the stories. They can draw a picture or practice writing or dictate something that we write for them. Well my girl is already a reader. Every week so far, of the four books we own at least one and have probably read one or two others. So the first thing Lupe did in her note book is not about one of the books in her bag. We had just finished our longest chapter book ever with 20 chapters and 149 pages. How's that for reading?
