Beware the Homophones!

In honor of our recent viewing of "Kung Fu Panda," Daddy made this homework sheet for Madison so she could learn some homophones, and how to spell them as well.  We also did a fun crossword puzzle too - neither of these took that much time, and were fun to show her when she got home.  It was a Monday today, and a chance to go back to school if only for a short space.  It appears as if we'll be missing some school this week though.

We did not miss ballet.  Daddy took Madison to ballet - she was quite happy to show Mommy all of her moves she's been practicing leading up to the Spring Recital.

One thing I have not touched on in this blog is this amazing reading streak she is on lately.  Madison is obsessed with these "Weirder School" books.  We went to the library and borrowed four of them today, and got a free one from a consignment shop in Cumming.  She literally has all ten stacked up on the kitchen table now.  These are chapter books, with more words than she's ever read before in books.  And she can't put them down.  She is reading about one of them per day, for example finishing one in the car today on the way to ballet.  We have ourselves a reader, and it is amazing.  She'll sit there and read and get so caught up in reading that she'll miss time playing video games or something like that.  And she won't really mind that much.  Of course, she loves playing video games.  But that's just it - these books have got her so hooked.  It's crazy!

She has a presentation on a book she's read this upcoming Friday.  Students are asked to dress up as the character in their book.  Madison has chosen Ladybug Girl, so Mommy and Daddy were scouring a few places today in search of costume materials.  We found this consignment shop that had ladybug boots, and a red shirt - and a red tutu.  That's all we need, really!  Mommy will work on the wings at home, but the costume should look great when put together.  Stay tuned for that!
