Budding Artists

Hailey got an easel for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa. Aden drew the sun and Hailey drew the rainbow they wanted me to take a picture of it so here it is.

Homework and The Reading Olympics

Well Aden has been very busy every Monday he has a 8-10 page homework packet come home. It's due every Friday, he finished it early this week and we returned it Wednesday morning. His school is also doing The Reading Olympics this month to encourage kids to read as a leisure activity. They earn minutes by reading to themselves, reading to others or listening to a story read by someone else. The kids work towards a Bronze (480minutes), Silver (840 minutes) or Gold (1200 minutes) cumulative minutes are for the whole month. We only did about 75 minutes the 1st week so we are playing catch up this week. Aden is really excited this morning he woke up before me and stated looking at books and trying to read the words. Oh that's something new also he is beginning to recognise some common words that they have been working with a lot at school and in books. I love reading and it's fun to see Aden leaning all the new words.

Snow Day!

We woke up to about 3 inches of snow today and no school. Woo Hoo! So after breakfast we went out to play. Then we came in for some hot coco dad has made that a tradition. We went out early because they said it would warm up, but so far it's still here. Maybe we'll get to play again later.
