1st Half

The 1st half of 1st grade has come and gone; quickly I might add.  Alexis just finished up reading, Mr. Cool, one of her buddy readers.  She really enjoyed this book.   We worked really hard reading it each night and mom helped question her on the happenings of this book so that Alexis would be prepared for her AR Test.  She is now starting a new buddy book called, A Bed For Winter by Karen Wallace. 

Alexis and her classmates also finished up their study on China.  Throughout their study, they received a pair of chopsticks, some chinese candy, a handheld Chinese fan and made a visit to a Chinese restuarant, Garden Buffet.  Alexis realized that she likes Chinese food and wants to eat there again, soon! 

Mr Cool

This is the new, reading book Alexis is starting on for the start of the second half of 1st grade. After returning from Christmas break, mom was proud that she read very well the 1st night back to homework as we buddy read together. Londyn has been having a hard time during homework so Alexis and I have to lock ourselves into the bedroom so we can have some peace and quiet.
