Froggy Lost His Mommy, By Lilly

Baby Frog is looking for her mommy.

Today during quiet time Lilly told me she wanted to write a story. I asked her what the story was about and she wasn’t sure, so I quickly gave her four small sheets of paper and told her sometimes we can make up stories based on a series of pictures and asked her to draw four different pictures (one on each page). She was immediately excited about this idea and drew a balloon, frog (she asked for some help drawing the frog so I told her to draw a circle with two smaller circles on top for eyes and she got it right away and did so all by herself), then a mommy and baby frog.

I had Lilly put the pictures in the order she wanted them in then she told me exactly what to write at the top of each one. We gave the book a cover and she was so excited and proud of herself for writing her first ‘book’. She couldn’t wait to show her Daddy. Go, Lilly! 🙂
