Jada Draws: Comics & Booms

when the kiddos showed an interest in Tintin books, i saw a great opportunity to develop their writing/sequencing/plot development/plot progression (etc!) skills.

(see, now that sounded fancy didn't it? but in reality they had NO IDEA of my educational aspirations...aha! introducing the Sneaky-Teach)

::this is one of Jada's comic strips - hold on tight, it's very fast-paced!::

{please click on the images to enlarge. see notes below}

i. this is not the first time Jada has drawn a labouring woman.

ii. wow, two years? already? kids just grow up so fast, don't they?

iii. oh dear, clearly Jada observes fantastic consistency between what parents say and what parents do.

iv. who doesn't say "goodey" when there's happy mail?

v. see, i told you - getting in the car isn't pretty!

vi. can this woman NOT STOP getting pregnant??

oh...

right...

more fiction reflecting reality....

ANYWAY, Jada loves to draw for others and (besides Little House on the Prairie) she is a HUUUUGE fan of the Booms - a NZ homeschooling family - who have written some wonderful books about their daily adventures. she loves checking out their blog so you can imagine her DELIGHT when she saw

*this*

thrilled i tell you, thrilled.

(and i was thrilled for her too)
