Olivia had her Christmas list ready about a week ago. She's been chomping at the bit to get it out to Santa. Her list included Flipeez (ridiculous winter hats you can only buy at Walgreens), Mooshka doll, doll stroller, shopping cart, a cash register and scanner.
So I told Juliana that we needed to get busy and write her letter so we could get them in the mail. Without missing a beat, she tells me on her computer, "That is too hard. I need help. How many? That is too hard." I told her we would work on it together but I needed her to start thinking of something she would like.
So coincidentally, the next day, guess what her school team decided to work on. So they started it off as a shared writing. They asked her, "How do you want to start it out? Have you been good? etc" So they wrote this part together. Then they gave her the sentence starter "I want a _____" and then using her alphabet flip book, she spelled C-A-R. They asked her if she was done, thinking that she couldn't possibly be spelling car, right? Maybe she meant C-A-R-D-S, like goldfish or something. She responded with a nod - yes. So then they asked her if she wanted a small car, a minnie mouse car, a remote control car - to all of which she responded NO. So then Mrs. Broome (OT) asked, "OH! Do you want a power wheels so you and Olivia can go riding around?" to which she smiled and nodded a huge YES!
