Reading and Easter Eggs


The one on the left is Lukas egg. He put a lot of thought in it. Katharine's is, as always perfectly laid out.
Today I am seriously bragging about Katharine's reading. It seems like we now have our very own little "Belle" in the house. Katharine has her nose in a book constantly. She reads just about anything she can get her hands on and has moved from Kindergarten level books to 1st grade and beyond.  Here is a sample of what she reads (on her own or with one of us):
anything by Dr. Seuss (including the back of the book)
the bible
Wizard of Oz series
Thomas Cleckler's K12 1st grade books
Eloise
The Golden Egg
the children's atlas
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
Fairytopia
any other Barbie books
princess books
Tinkerbell fairy books
Funny Elizabeth (American Girl Doll series)
Animals in Winter
African Folk Tales
Strawberry Shortcake
My Little Pony books
the back of milk cartons
and anything else she can get her eyes and hands on

It is so exciting to see her reading and I am so happy that she enjoys it so much!
On another note, we had "Revisit A Favorite Story" time in language arts today and Katharine picked "The Golden Egg", very appropriate for the season. I had the kids decorate construction paper easter eggs. Even Lennon "decorated" one.
