I thought of my dad today, felt bad for forgetting my promise to him to put pictures of my kids on here everyday, so grabbed my camera and took some candid snapshots of the girls. I tried not to worry about how neat and tidy the shots were.
Norah happened to be doing handwriting at the time. I told her, "Smile for Grandad."
Avril was watching a movie on Norah's computer. She had climbed up on Norah's bed and was sitting on the edge of it. (Norah sheets were in the washing machine/ dryer.)
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
