We have started doing weekly hikes. Hiking gets us out of the house, and not only gives us exercise, but also gives us time to talk about things. Just this last week Reagan started asking a whole bunch of questions while we were hiking around Lynx Lake; "Do fish poop? Do they poop in the water? They do? Are fish dirty in the poopy water that's dirty?" You could tell she didn't really approve of this. But she continued. "Do ducks drink milk from their mommies? They're birds. Oh right that's mammals, like piggies, and kitties, and doggies. They're the ones who spend a lot of time in their mommy's tummy."
Today we also started our new reading program. We just got a set of the illustrated classics at the thrift store. Reagan got to pick one, and we are reading a chapter a day. Her first choice was the Secret Garden. Can't wait to find out what happens when Mary arrives at her uncle's manor tomorrow! After reading chapter 1, we read a reader book about snakes, and worked on learning snake as a sight word. Reagan definitely knows some sight words already, including the word stop. :-)
We're also trying to be diligent about our weather record keeping this month! We haven't missed a day yet. And speaking of charts, Reagan has been working very hard on keeping up with her chore chart!
