TOG Y2 W26

We're almost done with unit three! We're about to study the Revolution and the Constitution, which is my favorite period of history to study. And at this juncture in time, it is a very important topic to be studying. But for this past week, we were studying the French colonies in America and Canada.

This little princess is really beginning to take off with her reading. One of the best purchases I have made for her are these phonics tiles. But I got mine at the dollar store. We pull out all the letters that we have done and play a word building game. She gets to pick the two consonants and I pick the vowel. Sometimes she picks them first; sometimes I pick first. Even though some of the words are nonsense words, she is able to sound them out with the phonics rules she already knows.

I have to share a kid funny with this princess. I found her standing in the hallway in front of the bathroom with a dripping wet washcloth. She looked at me with a big smile on her face and said, "All clean, Mommy!" So I mosey on over to see what exactly she cleaned. The floor and counter top were quite wet. She showed me how she was "cleaning" everything - by dunking her washcloth in the open toilet! Thankfully, it was an already flushed toilet. I thanked her for her help, washed her hands, then brought her out to Princess E to supervise while I went back to sop up the extra water and wash everything down with Clorox Wipes. She loves to help, but oh the work required on the back end.
