Well, I'm behind on updating our blog since this is now the start of the 3rd week of school already.... Aurora started 3rd grade this year and is loving it! She has a man teacher and so far says he is the best teacher ever! Like I said, it's only the third week of school. But we're all happy! They're already done with review and into learning new things - multiplication! I didn't think we were done with subtraction yet, but apparently the curriculum says otherwise. So we're still working on subtraction flashcards at home, while adding multiplication in too! Yesterday Aurora was reading a Nancy Drew book that she got from the library and I started to ask her questions about the story...it peaked my curiosity and before you know it, we had read together for 2 1/2 hrs.! We couldn't put the book down - every chapter ending leaves you hanging...so we kept reading! It was fun and brought back alot of memories from my childhood when I'd read the Nancy Drew series and the Hardy Boys! WE LOVE THIRD GRADE!
