Schoolwork accomplished:
*One full page of two digit by one digit multiplication, and two half-finished pages(long story that involves water spilled and a lost paper)
*Spelling list 13-words copied twice each
*We got our gym excersize walking to Pinebrook and back
*Leanna painted suncatchers with Deb
*On the way back Leanna picked up some nature and at home made a fairy house on the table with it. The house was later destroyed (not intentionally).
*We read together: How to Write Funny Poetry
*We explored a kids' poetry website and did some fill in the blank poems
*Leanna was inspired and wrote a few pages of her own poetry. Plus some she composed while in the bathtub. She really had fun with it, and I enjoyed seeing her enjoy it.
*I read some poetry to her from my old college books. (not easy to find ones she would comprehend, but in some cases that doesn't matter so much. I just want her to get a feel for the cadence of the words and hear examples of good poetry.) We read some Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, Langston Hughes, Adrienne Rich, even Sylvia Plath.
*We also read a chapter of Alice in Wonderland, but at that point Leanna had begun to get sick, and she'd been throwing up. So she fell asleep somewhere during my reading of it. Later she woke up and I re-read the last half of the chapter to her again.
