Homeschool Update

It's official: we have a reader!!!! Mickade is SO excited. Last week, he attempted to read a real book, Green Eggs and Ham and was a complete success. He was SO proud of himself, we wound up staying up late so he could also read Go Dog Go and Snow. He's been reading a new book every day now. It's so cool to see him blossom right before my eyes, to see it all really click for him. He's been reading his readers for a long time now, and Dick and Jane, but this is the first time he really read a 'regular' book. He wants to read every book with the Cat in the Hat logo on it now LOL.

Our homeschool group has also started back up again, meeting weekly. Last week we did some walking in the woods and observing of nature using all 5 senses, then had fun learning how to make our own sushi rolls! Tomorrow we plan to go back to the woods and clean up the trash we saw out there, then make our own sourdough rolls and fresh butter.

Editing in: Lunch preparation isn't necessarily directly related to our outdoor time!!!
