Cady Gray brought home some writing today from school that I really liked. Let's start with an invitation form that she filled out (this got a "Great!" from her teacher). The underlined parts are the blanks that Cady Gray filled in:
Dear Charlotte
You are invited to my Thanksgiving. I would love for you to come because We are BFFS! (Best friends forever). It will be on Thursday at 5:00 pm. We will be eating turkey and potato salad. Yum! We sure hope you can make it!
Sincerely,
Cady Gray
Then apropos of I'm-not-sure-what, she composed a thank-you note to Charlotte during some free writing time.
Dear Charlotte,
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do! Thank you for comforting me and being my friend.
-- Cady Gray
Finally, here's another free write. I believe she composes these in the morning during the time before the first scheduled lessons begin. There are pre-printed sheets with blanks for the name, date, and deathless prose. What I like about this one is that it accurately represents how CG talks these days, complete with excitement and backtracking.
