A pre-vaca trip to the library and she checked out 7 books. Granted, she only got through 2 before their 2 week due date, but now that she learned about their reading challenge she's even more committed to get through the others -- and win some prizes.
The first week of swimming went well, she loved it! The first practice she swam 300 meters! I'm impressed. We missed the second week, and the first swim meet, due to our vacation, but we're back to it today. While we were on vaca we worked on her freestyle a bit together and instantly saw an increase in speed with better breathing practices and she worked worked worked on her freestyle in Cococay's swimming pool.
Today is her first day of 'schoolwork'. I love that she's to the point with her personal discipline and reading abilities that we were able to create a to do list that she can refer to each day.
1). Reading for 20 minutes.
2). 2 pages from her bible workbook
3). 2 pages from her handwriting workbook
4). 2 pages from several sections in her 2nd grade workbook (Writing, Grammar, Space/Science, Math)
Matter of fact she's out there right now reading - and she even set herself a timer. I'm almost obsolete at this point. I'm proud, but sad at the same time.
Next week she has Camp Splash at the town pool. I hope our weather stops acting a fool so the pool isn't freezing and she can get more practice and play in. This will disrupt some of our 'schoolwork' but we will still get some learning in.
