Ok, so I posted earlier about having a hard time. This evening, I was going through the papers the kids brought home. I found one in Caleb's pile, that made me very proud! His instructions were to write a story about a soldier who sees a horse behind a tree using the words in the box (behind, story, and soldier). Here is Caleb's story (with a few spelling corrections from mom):
Once there was a soldier who saw a horse behind a tree. He was tired of walking so he rode it home. He saw a poor man. He gave it to the man. The poor man thanked the soldier for the horse.
It's reading things like that, that reassure me somewhere in their heads, the kids are picking up on what we are teaching them. Lessons like giving to those in need. I am so proud of my 7 year old!!
