Girl Power

Yesterday, the Tennessean had an article listing some fantastic books for girls. We love books, and we love girl power! Check out this great list of books - many of which I would recommend for young & old. And remember, your daughter, niece, granddaughter, cousin, sister...etc! is never too old for you to read aloud to them. Many of these would be great fun to read together. Too bad my house is full of boys!

Making progress

Well, Cooper did remember his glasses, and we made it through the story. He did great! Much better than I anticipated. He did not struggle with any part of the story, and even stopped to tell me his thoughts on certain comical events in the story - like the pig that didn't like the mud - without any prompting. That is one of my favorite things about Cooper. He truly engaging himself in his work, even the most mundane. So, he will be working on that story until Monday, and then we will get back to our regular lessons.

Cooper tells me that his reading is getting better, and things are a little easier! That's what I like to hear! We are 7 lessons into our twenty, I'll keep you posted!
