Yesterday’s first lesson was on the computer. My aunt had sent a sweet email with animal pictures that had delighted Leilani (and I was grateful it was not in Power Point). Leilani wanted to write a Thank-You note. While I made breakfast Leilani managed to type:<\/p>\n
Liebe Jutta!
\nDanke fuer alle die herzigen Bilder. ich hab die komischen sehr gemocht!
\nalles liebe
\nLeilani <\/p>\n
(Dear Jutta,
\nthanks for the sweet pictures, I liked the funny ones a lot.
\nLove
\nLeilani)<\/p>\n
There were about 8 typos, and after I showed her how, Leilani fixed half of them herself. I have to point out that she spelled “komischen” almost correctly, I’m very proud of her. Typing is going very well anyway because the d-b and q-p problems go away, and the j is always facing the right way. <\/p>\n
(And for the German speakers: Grossschreibung kommt als naechstes dran – Capitalization is next)<\/p>\n
(And for the English speakers: I believe English spelling is way too hard and confusing for kids that age. I’ll start on that later, and after I had some phonics training myself…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
