Old Mother Raincloud


This is our board for today. Although she can write all of her letters and is reading (a lot) she was still forming some of her letters from the bottom up instead of the more efficient top down. We read the Enki Education story Old Mother Rain Cloud - Rain Falls From Heaven. The idea is that the letters fall to Earth and bounce back up. Think of little r with a rumble and a roar, racing straight down to the ground and she hits it so hard she bounces back up. This idea works for most of the lower case letters. Annie really sunk into this lesson and her drawing.
