Oops, I forgot.

Since I'm supposed to be keeping careful records of our "school," I need to make certain to mention that we read. Duh. I'm a reading teacher, and we read so much and so often that I don't even find it noteworthy. But, to satisfy the powers at be, I need to state that Connor is meeting the NYS guidelines for English Language Arts. Over breakfast, Connor reads either the newspaper, Mind Floss,Popular Science or Science Illustrated. Every time we get into the car, he has a book in hand, and he reads for at least an hour every night. Each week he reads (in its entirety) one book off the John Hopkins book list (this week he is reading the historical fiction My Brother Sam is Dead), and one book of his own choosing. There. Now that I've said it, I hope I don't have to note Connor's reading time in future blogs. Oh yeah, we also study Chinese every day, which I also forgot to mention. We listen to our Chinese Cds in the car, and we use the website that accompanies our latest Chinese book, First Thousand Words in Chinese.
