Homework overachievers

Emerson was Star Student of the Week last week.  To the kids, it's a pretty big deal.  They do fun activities each day centered around the student.  One of the activities was for your parents to write a letter to your class about you.  It could be about why you are special or funny stories about you.  It was left up to the parents to decide what to write. So, I started thinking about what I would write and I looked back at pictures.  Emerson and I do homework right after school.  Some days go better than others.  I joke with Denny because all the drama is over by the time he rolls in after work and he gets to be the fun parents because all the work is done.  So, I gave Denny the pictures I had printed off and told him he had homework.  Here is what he wrote and how he used the pictures...

 

 

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful Princess named Emerson.

Emerson had a passion for fashion.

No one in the kingdom could ignore the great sense of style that Emerson had.

One day Emerson accepted a challenge to sail across the Pacific Ocean.  Emerson was very proficient in packing her supplies that she was going to need for her voyage.

While at sea, Emerson encountered a dangerous band of pirates.

Emerson’s Dad, the King, had told her stories about sailors and how they defeated pirates they encountered on the open seas.  Emerson knew to heed the advice she had learned from her dad’s stories.  Emerson did not underestimate her bravery or strength.  Emerson fought and defeated the pirates.

Emerson completed her voyage and returned home where a huge welcome home party was waiting

So that was the story Emerson's teacher, Ms. Wilson, read to the class.  The highlighted words were their vocabulary words for that week. I think he did a pretty good job.  Looks like he needs to be in charge of Homework more often!

I will post 7th Birthday party pics soon.  Trying to get caught up!
