Yesterday, Kailyn chose this photo to represent the "Colorful Kitten" character that she had proposed for the book we are working on. This morning, she asked me where the picture was, and then spent a long time just looking at it. Eventually, she came over and told me, "I want to draw this kitty, will you help me?" I told her I'd help her with my words, and we began to talk about what shapes she saw. With some assurance that we saw the same things, Kailyn made this beautiful drawing - using her "artistic license" to chose colors for the stripes. Kailyn has grown progressively more confident in her abilities and takes a great deal of pride in the art she produces. The kitten she immediately hung up on the classroom wall.
