This week Lexie’s reading EXPLODED! She has been reading her AAR readers like crazy; we love this program. I am so proud of her, but mostly I am just thankful her confidence has gone through the roof. She will try read just about any word I point to. We are working on using her finger to point to the words (she doesn’t like to do this, but reads much better when she does) and not using the pictures to guess what the sentence says. As you can see, we used an envelope to cover the pictures so she will read the words first, then look at the pics.
And now we do a whole lot of this ….
We have snacks outside, twice a day. (I think this is their favorite thing to do …)
The Mister enjoys playing “connect four” and reading books.
We have also been gardening (LOTS of tomatoes coming off our plants), and just adjusting to having a baby in the house. Overall, everything is going smoothly and everyone is adjusting well! =)
I want tomatoes! The Enginerd tells me we can do a garden in the next year. I cannot wait! Science here we come!
Gardening is so much fun, and opens so many doors to learning! Good luck with your garden. =)
