"The Girl Who Wanted to be a Teacher"

By Molly

"Once there was a girl named Chidester and she wanted to grow up to be a teacher when she grew up."

"But she also wanted to be a hair do-er when she grew up."

"One day she was playing outside with her friends and talked about it and said I don't know what to be.  You can be anything you want when you grow up said her friends."

"But I want to be a teacher.  And she did."

Then there is a picture of Rebecca, Mrs. Chidester, and Molly and underneath it says "You are a great teacher."

**Molly wrote this story back in October for her Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Chidester.  She actually never gave it to her because she thought it wasn't good enough.  I thought it was so cute and that she did such a great job.  But I can also see how much she's learned in the couple of months since...punctuation, capitals when you're writing someone's name and at the beginning of sentences.  Her spelling has also improved, although she did exactly what she is being taught in school: spell words exactly how they sound.  A lot of times she spells words wrong when she reads them everyday with no problem.  All in all, I'm enjoying watching her learn how to read (she's doing awesome) and write and learn all these new, exciting things.
