Mabry learned how to read this past school year. Two weeks ago, I took her to the library and she got her own library card. I've been suspecting for a couple of months that Mabry could read at a higher level than her books allowed. We went to the library today, and I had her read aloud from a book to me. The book? Little House on the Prairie. How'd she do? She has only asked what five words were in the first ten pages. She reads slowly, but she reads well. She says she loves the book. I guess now she'll get the rest of the set for Christmas, and now she has something to read on our trip to Jackson Monday.
I conveniently forgot that I have a workshop in Jackson on Tuesday and Wednesday at Millsaps. This workshop does not provide lodging, so we are camping at LeFleur's Bluff from Monday until Wednesday afternoon. This allows me to be near my children, participate in the conference, take Mabry to a couple of museums, and see some friends and family. Late notice, but exciting.
