First Kindergarten Homework

Thomas came home with his first Kindergarten homework this afternoon.

Actually, it was homework for the entire week.

Thomas easily completed a turkey counting worksheet, and we moved on to a paper book that was sent home with instructions for him to read it to me.

I opened the book, and got out my pointer finger and ready face, when he tells me "no, I can do it!!"  He seemed pretty sure of himself, so I turned on the video on my phone and my jaw dropped.  He knew it alright!  He did miss some words on the last page, and he probably would have done better, but as you can see it was loving impressing me so much he wasn't concentrating as much as he should have been.





I am so proud! I mean, I am always proud, but I felt a bit extra this afternoon.

Oh, and in addition to the book that has to be returned Wednesday (there is no school tomorrow for Election Day), a reading log came home and we have to chart reading to Thomas 15 minutes a night.

Well, as it happened, Gracie brought home a book order sheet, and as I am looking through it, I see they have the last  Junie B. Jones book. It is the one the author wrote after Gracie and I completed the series, and before she died last November.  So, that got me thinking 1) I need that book to complete our collection and 2) I wonder if Thomas would enjoy Junie B?

While the kids played after homework, I started digging in the attic and then in the shed and found our Junie B. Collection (all but 1, I know I have it, but it was missing, so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled at thrift stores). 

And, since the copies I have aren't all numbered, I made myself a bookmark with the in-order list and printed it out and laminated it. Yea, I know, I have issues ;)

So, we start Stupid, Smelly Bus tonight! I am super excited!
