Bennett's reading has been absolutely taking off lately! She amazes me every day with how fluently she can read! Today, a bag came home from school with the book Little Bear in it. The bag goes from house to house, to ensure that kids have books to read at home. Bennett had never heard the story before. She opened it, said mom I think I can read this, then sat down and read all 4 chapters (63 pages) to me, and I only had to help her with one word! I was floored! I couldn't be more proud of her!

Also, yesterday, the teacher in me came out and I decided to start Writer's Workshop with Bennett (a staple from my 1st grade classroom). When I asked Bennett if she wanted to become an author and an illustrator, she was so excited! She decided to write a story about Snow White. She had a Snow White book in front of her so she got the spelling from that, but other than her name, I let Bennett use inventive spelling and I think she did a great job hearing a lot of the sounds in the words!
Bennett the author and illustrator!
Pg 1: "Snow White lives with 7 dwarfs."
pg 2: "Snow White takes a bite of an apple."
