It's the end of Term 1. Already!

I'm sure you know that we've almost all finished our first page of Snuggle Up and Read. (You may not have known there will be a bunch of pages of Snuggle Up and Read!) Here they are holding up their first prize. A mechanical pencil. Yes, it's terribly thrilling -- no more trips to the pencil sharpener! Of course, once they realize that this means no more socializing at the pencil sharpener I'm sure they'll revert back to their normal pencils.

Playing around the world again. Mais, en francais!

Here we are playing/singing (that's for you DTG!) a language arts game. We sing a song (ask 'em, I'm sure they'll oblige with the song) and at the end drop a word for a person to read. When they've read it they get to carry the basket around the circle.

It's a good way to practise the new sound spellings we've learned and review the older ones.
