WOW, Marissa! Way to go...and Isabella did well too. A good summer full of reading! :)
Our girls are really similar! #2 spent hours at the sewing machine or on the needles all summer, and always balked when I told her to read. #1 on the other hand....? She's so drawn to the written word, she reads all the signs on store doors--often while I'm waiting on her to open them. :-) I have to keep reminding myself of that strengths thing, too.
Yay for summer reading! Marissa's list looks like what I would like mine to be if I didn't have to clean, grocery shop, cook, referee, do laundry, balance a check book, etc, etc. :) Did you amend your payment schedule from last year or do you owe Marissa some big bucks?? ;)
LOVE their reading choices! I find when I can finally convince mine to read classics, they feel sooo much more satisfied with that beautiful story than lots of the current "novelty" reads these days. Great job to your girls!
My goodness Marissa! I remember the worst punishment I received as a kid was being grounded from books for 1 week. It was torture! (just in case she ever needs extra motivation ;)) Bella may come into a love for reading later...but for now sewing is a great creative outlet! Good job girls!
