Book report
Namine has been reading about giraffes for a book report.

PALS test
After Namine finished her PALS test, Jessica texted me, “I have news. Call me.” I didn’t know what to expect.

Book club
Yesterday evening Namine joined in an online book reading. Four children, herself included, read from books of their own choice.

First impressions
Namine and I started reading a new book last night. This one is for school, and since it’s a little too advanced for her reading level, I’m reading it to her. It’s about Claude Monet.

We were in the car on Sunday, headed to the grocery store. “Daddy,” Namine said, “can you play the crystal Jesus song?”

Ready for school
Apparently, first grade can’t come soon enough.

A day of baking
Did you know they have french toast-flavored bagels? I do not recommend actually making french toast with bagels. Just saying.

Biscuit books
Instead of having me read to her at night, lately Namine has been reading to me.

Reading and spelling
Since I’m not home during the day, I don’t always get to see Namine’s progress firsthand. When I do, though, it’s awesome.

A new book
Having finished the junior novelization of Frozen, Namine and I have started reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.

Literacy assessment
Namine had her PALS-K assessment this morning. It’s a literary assessment given to students to determine potential placement (and whether a student might need additional instruction), and Namine did exceedingly well.

Junabee Bajones
A while ago, Namine and I started reading chapter books. We’ve finished a book on Helen Keller, which she enjoyed very much, and the first in the Junie B. Jones series of books. Namine calls her “Junabee Bajones.”
