We love this drawing of the boat for its vibrant colours, its resonance with Max's trip to the land of the Wild Things and that wonderful sense of the winds guiding the journey. Katelyn, like many other early literacy explorers, relies more on talk and drawing than on the printed words to create and convery meaning for herself and others. Curriculum documents often are helpful with teacher directed writing and drawing process. In the pressure to meet curriculum outcomes and the many other demands of classroom life, it is easy to forget that young children need time to practice various forms of representation in their own way and with the content of their lives.
