The girls and I are spending every single day this week at church for Camp-Wanna-Hugga-Squirrel. Norah is attending camp, I am volunteering and Avril will be in a special class with other volunteer's toddlers. I have a strong suspicion that I might be too tired when I get home to do anything but bathe the girls, shower myself, do our laundry and prepare our sack lunches for the next day. Dwayne has even volunteered to take care of dinner every night, bless him. I will see you all at the end of the week.
"...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
