Sunday Selections #144: Homework Drawings

It's time for Sunday Selections!
Sunday Selections is a weekly meme hosted by River at Drifting Through Life. It's a way to showcase some of the photos we take, but don't get shown on our blogs. 

The rules are very simple:-
1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title
2. link back to River somewhere in your post
3. leave a comment on River's post and visit some of the others who have posted and commented: for example:
    Andrew at High Riser
    Gillie at Random Thoughts From Abroad
    

This week I'm posting photos of the illustrations my kids do on their homework books.  I don't know how long their teachers will let them do this, but I love it.

This one M did today, underneath some facts about kookaburras she had to research and write herself.



These ones are from March this year - A's illustrations on a couple of pages of her Greek school homework:






Long-tailed Potoroo research done by A today:



Each week the kids get "DIPL" (literacy) homework that includes two written sentences using spelling rules covered in the week.  A. always illustrates hers:




This was a story M had to write recently, which she was very proud of. (It had to use certain words, which are the ones in colour):



Have I mentioned I love, love, love kids' drawings?

  1. We have a folder of many of our niece's drawings. I make nice noises about them. But I thrill to see her writing ability develop, and her literacy skills. Of course as you know, there is still the aitch problem. You know how people often say about art, a kid could have done that. I think a kid did with the kookaburra drawing. It is brilliant.

  2. Love the creativity. Long may it continue - and M's story is really good too.

  3. Your kids drawings are excellent. I like M doing a "word challenge" story, just like our "Words for Wednesday".

  4. Flipping fabulous Jackie! Adore the first one! What talented girls you have.

    Thought your pulp fiction was really clever, though had settled myself down with a cup of tea…didn't realise it was 25 words max, so all over before the first sip! Longer next time? :) x
