Oma H. gave me The Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis for Christmas.  My mom and I are reading the series.  Today we finished Book 1 The Magician’s Nephew.  And we read the first chapter of Book 2 The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I really liked Book 1 and Book 2 seems like it is going to be realllllly good.  I liked when Lucy met the Faun at the end of the first chapter.

…I last regularly posted what we were reading. So here is just a bit of what we have been reading.

And I am not going to rename the books that are listed under reading in her lesson plans.

Music with ps.

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED my dance class.  We are learning ballet and jazz.  It was so fun and the teacher is really nice.  There was only one boy in my class and he said as we were stretching  “Are we just going to do ballet??!?!  I am a boy.  I don’t want to do ballet!”   The teacher assured him that boys can do ballet too and that we would be learning jazz as well.   He actually had a great time too.
