A Pack and a Sack

My son has been working on reading lately.  This week he was sent home with a book, A Pack and a Sack,  he could read completely, all by himself.  The teacher said he had memorized some of the book, but I could tell tonight he was reading the words because he stopped when he got things wrong and figured out what the sentence really said.    I’m very impressed with him.

My daughter, sitting on the side, not able to see the pictures but listening quietly was also paying attention.   She has to go on memory more than him because she can’t rely on sound.  She’s only heard the book once—last night—but she remember it and helped him with what some of the pages said when he stumbled through the words.   I am very impressed with her too.

The Big Boy Update:  A song by Alvin and the Chipmunks came on in the car this morning.  My son said, “I wonder how the people sing that high?”  He answered his own question a few seconds later, saying, “maybe they hold their noses”.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter can snap the fingers on both hands with ease now.  She’ll walk around snapping fingers, humming a little tune and singing some words she made up throughout the day and in the car.
