Flash Cards

Ellie has been working on a list of sight words assigned to her by her teachers. Nathan made them into flash cards and we work on them most evenings. Her promised treat when she can get through all of them: a repeat matinee of "Tangled". Slowly, but surely, she's getting better. With each word she would successfully recognize, I gave a little cheer of encouragement. She asked me to replace my "yays" and claps with a karate chop and a "hi-yah!" What a funny girl. (Um, maybe she has been influenced by the new Karate Kid.)


Reni didn't want to be left out. Coincidentally, he did get a word right tonight -- NO! We got a good laugh out of that!
