Molly has been busy the past week continuing her writing practice, reading aloud, and being read to. She is really focusing a lot of attention on mastering reading. It is so hard to balance her developmental age with her intellectual age. I know that once she masters her reading, nothing will get in the way of her learning...right now she is limited to what I can work with her on. Her other struggle is that there are many things she wants to be able to learn that she can't physically do yet...like knitting, for example. I am hoping to find some alternatives that she can do now that will help her learn the skills she will need for those types of activities.
We discovered www.sheppardsoftware.com this week, as well! What an amazing site!!! She has been working on the US map...identifying all of the states. She also loves the animal section where she has tons of animal info and facts at her fingertips. I imagine that this site will be our go-to from now on for so many activities. The best part is that the entire site is free!
Joining the Museum of Science and Industry was another bright point of our week:) We are going twice in the next few weeks. We are looking forward to the Dr. Seuss exhibit!! Molly explores every one of our animation reference books (we have about a dozen) and loves to look at the early drawings of the characters, etc. The Dr. Seuss exhibit shows some of his early drawings and sculptures so she is really excited to get to see where some of the characters began.
