Jenessa has read several books for school...A Wrinkle in Time, The Merchant of Venice, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, and Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens. For fun she enjoyed The Map to Everywhere.
Sienna has read through the Magic School Bus chapter books that we have.
The boys have continued to enjoy reading dinosaur books. I was excited to get them to let me start reading the Magic Tree House books to them (we have all of them so that makes it easy!)...it didn't hurt that the first one was about dinosaurs! I wanted to try the research guides along with reading the fiction books...I don't have them all but ordered a few more from paperbackswap.com
I read the Illustrated Classics version of Sherlock Holmes and started the Candy Shop Wars as read alouds to everyone.
Ryan has finished the first Harry Potter book and we let the girls watch the movie this week. I watched the Fiddler on the Roof a couple of weeks ago with Kessiah and Jenessa (it was a school project for Jenessa). I enjoyed getting to share that movie experience with them. Our latest family movie nights have been Spirit, Earth to Echo, and The Rescuers.
