This is the drop sheet format that Lex’s class is working on these days.  It’s the third format this year.  His student teacher started giving Eve copies each morning awhile ago when they were easier and Eve loves them.  They keep getting harder but she is so smart she keeps doing them! 

She looked at section four and said outloud, “Baby…” Then she looked at the other picture, with the balloons, and said, “Oh, pop!  Pop and pop!”. I love it when she thinks about something, figures it out, and is proud of herself. 

She almost always gets the double consonant in section eight.  The other day there was a drawing of a ham in the top row.  She did it while I was out of the room, getting ham correctly.  I was surprised that she recognized that picture.  When I asked her about it she said, “It’s a ham, like Green Eggs and Ham!” Of course!  Silly me!

Sometimes she lets me put stars on them when she completes the sheet, but other times she insists on bringing it back to school the next day so his student teacher can put a star on it.  :). I joke about saving them all and turning them in on her first day of first grade.  Joke, of course, bec,ause most end up in the recycle bin.  I think she has some work to do on her handwriting before first grade anyway.  She is mighty smart for Pre-K though!!
