Earlier in the blog I mentioned the lack of classics and its accompanying vocabulary and thought in the daily lives of me and the young 'uns. We have looked to the library to assist us and added among other expanded reading selections for the kids, poetry readings. (I actually started a poem a day notebook with them over the summer; sadly, we discontinued it.) I read to the kids and then they take turns reading to us. It's been a lot of fun.
Added to the fun of reading Shel Silverstein is the practice they get reading aloud as they stand before an audience. My number four has instinctively added drama to his reading, my number three starts and stops as she walks over to ask for assistance and then walks back to recommence. Numbers two and three intermittently crack themselves up over what they're reading.
I decided to add some pictures (mostly because I like to brag about my kids).
