Journal entry—trip to Spring Lake

I was really excited on reading this newest journal entry from my kiddo. After we talked at length last week about writing paragraphs that are not only grammatically correct but also interesting it would seem that he put some effort into exactly that art form. I love the varied sentence lengtt, and I love seeing him spell words like couch, beach, night, and aunt correctly all on his own. Who needs spelling drills? Even better, I love that he's developing these skills in what I would consider to be a very authentic way. And if this sounds like a proud parent moment, well I guess that's probably what it is.

The picture is probably of Jon and Calvin playing in the water while other family members (maybe Oma, Opa, and me?) sit on the beach towel on the shore. He's really into the overhead viewpoint these days.
