Letter to Emily

Emily brought a note home from school asking us to write a letter to Emily.  The teacher will read it out loud to the class during large group time, one kid per day.  I like what I wrote so I'm posting it here.



Dear Emily,
                I know a sparkly little girl with golden blond hair and gray eyes.  She has two fun little sisters that she loves very much.  She has a dad who reads books in silly ways, and a mom who makes her yummy lunches.
                This imaginative little girl has fairies and butterflies hanging in her room, and her name that’s hidden behind her bunk bed.  She loves to do projects and create new and beautiful things for the wall above her desk.  She bounces on her toes when she runs, and flies through the air when she swings.
This brave little girl likes to ride behind her dad on the trail-a-bike, as scary and exciting as it is!  She knows where everything in her house is, and she likes to offer good suggestions to solve problems.  She can make breakfast for herself, and even for her sisters, too!  When it thunderstorms during the day, she makes funny faces so she isn’t scared by the thunder, and at night she knows that hiding under the covers helps, too.
                This amazing girl can sing beautifully and memorize poetry.  She is kind and caring to her mom when she has been awake all night with the baby, and to her sisters when they are feeling sad or need help.  She is so fun that all of her cousins love to have her come to their houses to play.  She has a pretty smile that she wears all the time, along with her favorite beautiful dresses and hair that she styles herself.  She asks clever questions that keep her parents on their toes, and every day she does cool new things that make them so very proud.
                She is a sweetheart, and I love her very, very much.  Do you know her? Of course! It’s YOU!
                                                                                                                                                Love,
                                                                                                                                                Mom
