The other day during free time, one of my students came up to me to show me a picture she had drawn of Danny MacAskill, Daniel Dhers, and Martin Soderstrom (rider buddies of Danny's). It was so cute! She had thought of it all on her own and even asked me to help her "label" it (a part of our Writer's Workshop). Once the gang saw her drawing, they decided to make their own pictures of Danny and his friends. Loved them all! What an inspiration Danny has been to us! Check out this link to the video of Danny, Martin, and Daniel!
She even labeled hers with arrows to show which way Danny was going!
So proud of her for labeling the guys names on these pictures! She created cute pictures and is applying what she is learning in Writer's Workshop!
Ruby and I had a long conversation in the car about Danny and Daniel and Martin, she told me all about them and how much practice they had to do to get so good at riding - she said "you know, Mommy, you have to practice at things to get good. You don't just wake up in the morning one day and all of a sudden you know how to read. You have to start small and practice every day."
