Katya loves these A to Z Mystery books that she has been checking out at the school library. During the beginning of the year they did not have access to the "chapter" books. Now that they do, she has been enjoying reading a lot more. These are much more at her level. She is required to read for at least 30 minutes a day; 10 to self, 10 to someone, and 10 being read too. This is in addition to "extra" math and weekly word activities and her regular math and language arts homework. I personally think that 1hr + is a bit much to ask of a first grader. She has precious little time to play on school days. But at least the reading part is fun.
I scored the reading lamp at Goodwill yesterday for 9$. Woo-hoo! It is a little big but that's okay; saved at least 20 dollars from the lights I was looking at at Target. I do love me a bargain:-)
