“Look Mama, I spelled my name! A. V. A. Look!” I looked over at our fridge and sure enough, there was her name spelled out in magnet letters:
A V A
“See Mama,” Ava continued. “A. V. A., that’s how I spell my name.”
“You are right! Wow, honey. Nice work!”
“It needs a house now. I’m going to make a house for my name. I’m gonna make it out of these letters. That will be nice, won’t it?

Ava – making a house for your name is a great plan!! What a spelling champ! – Shanel
that will be a perfect plan, Ava.
It’s so exciting to watch kids learn! Ava’s sure a smart girl!
applause! Elias doesn’t correctly name the letters yet but identifies them with people/characters/animals. For example: Z -that’s Zebra’s letter, S -that’s Scoop’s letter, G -that’s Grandma and Grandpa’s letter. -Lexi
