teacher like her teacher.
“My teacher reads us stories
about artists,” said Elizabeth who
then recited an interesting life story
about one of her favorite book
illustrators.
“I like to read for the accelerated
reader,” Elizabeth said. She enjoys

The Litde House Books by Laura

book, she takes a test to receive
points. Students who earn enough
points are eligible for an activity
such as miniature golfing.
“I never got a test wrong yet,”
Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth sings in the choir and
takes lessons in ballet, tap dancing,

brother’s reaction to her drawing.
