The snow was just right this weekend for snowman-building! So, Luke took the kids outside, and they made their first snowman of the season.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a reader!
Well, it’s official. Homeschooling, and the Spell to Write and Read program in particular, really does work. Proof is below…
I should clarify. Grace has read sentences before, made up of her spelling words. (She has mastered 70 spelling words now.) But in the video she’s reading a little primary reader that she’s never seen before today, with words she’s never formally learned. She read through 2-1/2 little readers (books) before taking a break. GOOD JOB, GRACIE!
Ava knows her birthday!
This morning at breakfast, Ava busted out with this sentence. So I made her repeat it, on video of course…
Sunday Morning Snooze
Winter blues…
I’m in a funk. A rut. A mood.
I’m tired of winter. I have lived in Michigan all my life, so I figure I really have no right to be tired of winter in February. But I am.
The sunshine was beautiful this past weekend, but even it didn’t pull me out of The Mood.
My poor children. Mommy’s just no fun today.
