Spelling

I taught Cheyenne how to spell her name out loud a few months ago. Then, in the past few weeks I have noticed an improvement in writing letters, so one day when Cheyenne and I were coloring (her with markers and me with her new star crayons), I tried to get Cheyenne to write her name. The first time she just wrote all the letters but they were in random places on the paper. In an effort to try to teach her to go from left to right, I drew 8 empty boxes for her to fill the letters in. She always knew which letter to put in them, but sometimes I did an example of how to do the letter before she tried (she is good at the E and H, but needs reminders of how to draw the other letters). Sometimes the letters are facing the wrong direction (c's and u's). I thought she did a really good job and I was so surprised she was able to accomplish this already. I really need to spend more time teaching her things because she just soaks everything up. She really loves learning new things.
