2015 Third Quarter Reading Work Sample

Clarity has finally taken an interest in learning to read.  She has made it through several of the Dr. Seuss books (Hop on Pop, Fox in Socks) as well as many of the level 1 readers at the library.  She also is doing most of the reading in her Math and Language Arts workbooks.  This semester we have also been fortunate to be involved with a book group.  We have been meeting twice per month and have so far gone through four books: Unicorn School, The Borrowers, Twig, and Minuk.  The group splits time between talking about elements of the book itself and doing projects related to the theme of the book.  Luckily the author of the book Minuk, Kirpatrick Hill, lives in Fairbanks and was gracious enough to host our group at her home to talk about her time teaching in the Alaskan bush.  Clarity was very inspired and has started her own book about Native Alaskans.
