We have another reader!

.....And he is SO proud of himself!

I was a bit amazed at the school... in their brochure they claim "every kindergartner can read by the end of October" and I had to be a bit skeptical. But every. single. kid. in Caleb's class is reading now. Totally impressed and Caleb LOVES to open up his reader and practice his new skills. The pic above is the first day he had a "home" reading assignment in his little paper "practice" reader. Yesterday he got into the car at pick up time and was almost beside himself that he got a "REAL" book "with a cover." :) 

I LOVE the boys' school. I'm really impressed with the academics and the creativity that goes into cramming all this information in the little peoples' heads. But I also think it's the perfect mix of structure and freedom that boys need. They are in class 2 days a week and at home 3 days. Here's our school at home day.... note, it is not always so happy or productive looking. :)
