Reading Progress

Caroline has moved on to level 2 sight word readers and is doing such a great job!

Pudgie in the Kitchen!

Ben asked if he could cook dinner sometime, and since I don't plan Sunday dinners more than a few days in advance like I do most of the rest of the month's meals, I told him he could pick a recipe and try his hand at dinner tonight. He needed some help with cutting the chicken and onions and a few reminders to read the recipe ;) but otherwise did a great job and turned out a pretty darn good chicken curry! Great job Ben! You can have next Sunday too if you want :)

Kid of the Week!

Happy Purim!

2nd Grade Wax Museum

Great job Becca and all the second graders on their wax museum presentations! Poor Becca had to recite her Amelia Earhart speech about 25 times for various parents and guests, since the students were set up around the perimeter of the class room and parents were invited to walk up to each student and press the button on their poster at which point the student had to recite their speech. This would have been pure torture for me as a second grader (or really any grader) but Becca handled it cheerfully even though I could tell she was nervous! And great work on the poster and presentation which was done entirely at school except for some supplies brought from home and some memorizing at home ;)

Camp T Shirts!

Summer camp is just a few short months away!

Flag Football Season Opener

Ben was cranky for the whole first half of the game because his new coach let another kid play QB. And this kid, while huge and with a powerful arm, did not actually have an accurate arm. I don't think he completed a single pass. At one point he nailed someone on the sidelines.

Ben finally got to play QB during the second half but they were down like 24-0. Here he is throwing his team's only touchdown pass of the game:
