I'm combining my kids in Bigger, and the youngest is 7. She is doing quite well so far, with only a few trouble spots. One being, she doesn't like to narrate.

Sadly, we'll be finishing up Snow Treasure soon, and we're trying to decide our next read aloud. I was between Understood Betsy and Justin Morgan Had a Horse. We picked both. We're going to do the assignments with Understood Betsy, and read Justin Morgan in the evening. I read the first couple of chapters of Justin Morgan last night, and my 7 year old did an INCREDIBLE job of narrating the second chapter. I was thrilled!!! I just hugged and hugged my daughter. Then I hugged her some more.

Isn't progress sweet???

Good for her! Yes, progress is sweet.

That's so sweet Thanks for sharing!

That is AWESOME!, praising God for all the good things He is doing in your family.

Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy

That is SO great! We're working on improving oral narration skills here, too, so I can appreciate your dd's success!!

That is so special! I love it when your kids amaze you. Good for you, mama!!

Hooray - way to go! I'm so proud of your little one - and I loved to read about the hugging! Seems like a little thing, but boy do our dc need to know we notice their progress and accomplishments in school - and also - they need to know we LOVE them and LIKE being their teacher! I try to remind myself to say often to each of my dc that they are some of my very favorite people to be around, and how happy I feel to be their mom and also their teacher. Your dd is one lucky gal to have a loving, encouraging mama like you. Thanks for sharing!

In Christ,
Julie

I love those narration break-throughs too! Thanks for sharing!
