Proud

This year, any boy who could complete the first 28 books of the Magic Treehouse series received a $50 or under lego set.  Wow, I've never seen reluctant readers turn a 180 so quickly :}  They were very proud of themselves, and their reading skills really improved this year.  Not to mention, since the series is based on notable historic events or places, when I try to teach them about something from history I am now constantly being told, "I already know that from #31, Mom."  Or the like.  :)

Poetry club with Mrs. G!  Two of our members were sick this day, so this is a small group.

Oh, and picture from our end of term poetry party last week.  Each child recited one they had memorized.  Owen-'Nobody' by Shel Silverstein, Asher-'I am Boom' by Jack Prelutsky, Eden-Pie Problem by Shel Silverstein
