She's a Reader!

Gracie wrote this for me after school today... the only words that I helped her with were merry and round.  She has made amazing progress in the last few weeks in both reading and writing. Mrs. Bertel told us... "Congratulations ~ She's a Reader!"

Translated her sentences say... I am a girl with a doll.  I went to the park with my doll and I went on the merry go round.  Notice the use of periods and that she circled all of her sight words.  She also dotted her i's with stars... love that!
