We started last week with the girls being out of school for a teacher workday/student holiday. We had lunch with Jim, and then went to the pumpkin patch!
The girls have been doing lots of writing lately. Mary Varner brought home this story she wrote about what she would have done if she had discovered America. Her teacher was so amused by her story that she allowed her to bring it home to share with us before she displayed it in the classroom.
Janey has been learning numerous sight words, and practicing writing with her sight words. All she wants to do is write sentences all the time at home. I, can, my, and like were the sight words they started about two weeks ago, and she wrote these sentences using them the other night for fun. Translation: I can hulahoop, I can play on the black top, I can jump, I can do push up, I can run, I can jump rope, I can toss the ball, and I can get basketball.
We headed to Mississippi on Friday afternoon to attend Jim's 20 year class reunion on Saturday. John and Rena and their kids came on Saturday. The children all enjoyed decorating pumpkins on the front porch while the adults watched the Mississippi State/Kentucky game. After the game, the adults headed to the reunion.
