November, November

With the weather getting colder and colder, we find ourselves curled up on the couch reading more and more.  This year it's more special because Avery is reading with us.  She is now capable of reading some of the beginner readers and she is learning words so fast that I can't keep up.  She definitely has a strength in spelling.  She didn't get that from me, spelling was never my subject.  It's hard to believe the semester is already close to an end.  We are now finishing up the human body for science.  In January we will be learning about Weather.  Hannah is progressing with her math.  Her multiplication facts are finally sticking.  Now we are working to catch up in her math book.  We usually only do table time for the first 2 weeks in December and then start up again in January.  This year we are going to continue with math for Hannah and reading for Avery but will take a break from everything else.

Gymnastics is going really well.  Both girls love it.  Hannah will have her first meet in December.  The girls will also be attending "Kids Night Out" at the gym.  The Uconn Gymnastics team will be there to teach them.  Already the fall semester of Coop is coming to an end.  We will be putting on our play on December 5.  It is amazing how fast time goes.  Before we know it, Christmas will be over too.

These pictures capture our best memories of November:
