On writing: Sir Isaac Newton

It's been awhile since we have had an installment of "On Writing", and I am one proud mama to share this one. The big kid wrote this one all on his own - a big step.
That's not to say that it was easy or painless, quite the contrary. It took a long time and a whole lotta patience, but he did it. 15 sentences for a 6 year old...whew.

Sir Isaac Newton was his choice of a famous person for Mystery History day. Besides the writing we also had to shop for period appropriate clothes. That day at the Goodwill was a magical thrift shopping day - a tuxedo like white shirt and a black blazer. No small feat considering I forgot until entering the store that this particular Goodwill was the unsorted, bins full of items, pay by the pound store. But, score and score.

 A few minor adjustments one Sunday morning, and ta-da, Sir Isaac Newton. I think the long overgrown hair really helped capture the look.

Research, writing, and practice came together when he stood in front of his class and read his report, flawlessly.
