Surprise Read Aloud-The Color Kittens

I think we're all a little tired of The Toy Campaign, so it may be time for something new. Daniel read this outloud to Sarah and I today...The Color Kittens by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Alice Martin Provensen. Delightful!

Miss Marilyn and Writing

My sweet friend Marilyn has blessed me so much today. She brought notebooks her kids did years ago and talked to me about writing, especially with Daniel. Right now they each write three sentences per day with a photo of something they did (or they can choose a copywork sheet). I've been feeling like it is time to bring that up a notch but wasn't sure what that would look like.

She showed me how to gently proofread their work and take them deeper by helping them with detail. Thank you SO much Marilyn!

Surprise Read Alouds

These are library books which are due back to the library. So we read them this afternoon instead of "The Toy Campaign". "The Light at Tern Rock" by Julia L. Sauer was wonderful. We continue to visit lighthouses. I need to set up a separate blog for that.

Sarah Monkey

This was a happy result of Mr. Cowboy Underwear playing...those are Darth Vader gloves. Makes me chuckle when I look at this photo!

Mr Cowboy Underpants

Kids did so many creative things today. One of them was "Cowboy Underpants".  Yes, they're clean.
