Reporter

Joe brought Nicholas home a reporter's notebook from his conference last weekend and Nicholas has gotten really into "reporting."  Actually, he does reverse reporting.  He has us ask him a question and then he writes down the answer. 

From 2012 November

After the first few questions it becomes very difficult to ask questions that he can actually write answers to because after all he is only 3.  The only answers he can write completely on his own are his name and numbers.  After that we have to come up with questions that have answers that are short and easy to sound out.  But I guess it is good phonics practice, right?  Not to mention the fine motor skills necessary to write while standing up.
