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:

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?
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.
ReplyDeleteYes it's one of her best I think!
DeleteLove the creativity. Long may it continue - and M's story is really good too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, she was very proud of it
DeleteYour kids drawings are excellent. I like M doing a "word challenge" story, just like our "Words for Wednesday".
ReplyDeleteAh yes! So it is, I hadn't thought of that :)
DeleteFlipping fabulous Jackie! Adore the first one! What talented girls you have.
ReplyDeleteThought 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
Thank you!
DeleteHaha! yes, I'll try for a longer story next time :)
