Writing Post Cards

One of our first days here, we bought some post cards and stamps. The goal was to get Katie to write notes to her friends and family. We're off to a bit of a slow start. We try to have homework time every afternoon or evening for at least an hour where Katie (and sometimes Dani) works on her writing or math. Today, she had to write her post card to her class back at Brentwood (www.GoBrentwoodSchool.com). Here are a few pictures.

In case you can't read it in the picture above, she wrote: "I watched Hannah Montana on the plane. I saw Nessie from the plane! I rode on a double decker bus. - on top. Love, Katie" She was quite excited that the plane had tv's for each seat and that you could pick what you want to watch. And, one of those options was the Hannah Montana movie!!! Also, she swears that as we were landing she saw Nessie in the water. And, the highlight for any 5 year old is riding on not just an ordinary bus, but a double-decker bus! We'll have to have her write post cards to friends at least once a month to have a collection of her thoughts. She can also keep track of things in her travel journal from school. Thanks Ms. Davies!
