We got our library cards today!
Also today, we…
- Checked out Kelsey’s 2nd grade classroom, and I got to meet her teacher.
- Toured Laurel’s Kindergarten classroom.
- Turned in our summer reading worksheets at the library, where both kids were supposed to read (or be read to) a minimum of 10 hours.
And here I brag a bit. Sorry. Hey, this is my job, so think of this as my jawing on and on about that big promotion I just got.
Kelsey read probably at least twice that much so far this summer, including The Tale of Desperaux and James and the Giant Peach, and about 10 of the Magic Treehouse series. I had her report to me after each book, and she is retaining characters and plot details (unlike earlier in the year, when she would “speed read” and forget everything by the end of the book). Kelsey’s reading list, if you’re interested, is HERE. As for Laurel, half of the books on her reading list were books she read by herself, at Level C-F (A being easiest), with little-to-no help.
- Painted our toenails
- AND… I managed to sneakily finish off the last of the frosting left over from the cupcakes I made for my mother’s birthday. Go me!
