Reid announced that she wanted to write an email to Grandma (she didn’t specify which) the other night after supper. I told her that I’d get the laptop set up for her as soon as soon I’d finished eating. Reid went straight to her easel, though, and started “writing” with her markers. She talked as she wrote about where we’d been and what we’d been doing lately. Then, she got her scissors and made some cuts in the edge of the paper. When I told Reid we needed to go up to the tub, she told me that hadn’t finished the email to Grandma yet. I hear older people speak of writing people a “letter” when the mean sending an email. Reid, though, is a “digital native” and her words work differently.
