Read Alouds:  We’ve read more Mary Poppins.  I hope to finish it before our break.  We also read two chapters from The House At Pooh Corner.  Actually, Jason read them while home today and we all laughed and laughed.

  1. I thought I left a comment already but maybe it didn't go through?

    Anyway, I wondered what you did for math for the older 2 when they were R-girl's age? Isn't it fun to finish something? 🙂

  2. I haven't seen any other comments 🙁

    We were very slow and inconsistent with MEP Y1. MEP Reception was *perfect* for my 3.5-4 year old 🙂 She loved having her own math.

  3. I love Winnie the Pooh and the House at Pooh Corner. I think it's one of those books you enjoy more as you get older. We enjoyed doing art with you all this week – thanks so much!
