Well this has really been fun and I have enjoyed this challenge, although it wasn’t much of a challenge to find things I am thankful for. There are plenty of those. The challenge comes in blogging about it every day or close to it, in my case. I tried. Some of mine were short. Some were very random, and some may have seemed silly or unimportant to someone else. Some were much more heartfelt. That’s how it goes. I have said it before, I know, but I am grateful for this challenge.
I am grateful for the ability to pray. I can pray for others. I can pray for myself. I can just pray. He listens no matter where I am, physically or spiritually. He doesn’t care the time of day or night.
Over at Garden of Learning, she is continuing this as a weekly meme now. Thankful Thursdays.
At first I was worried that the simplicity of the game would be too easy for her. After playing it a few times I realized she enjoyed it not being too hard. She also enjoyed the one on one time of whomever she was playing with. (It is to be played with 2 players, one teacher and one student.) She was able to catch onto the words rather quickly. The repetition in a game form really made it much more fun than just flash cards. 
not. She read right through the first book after the first game. I think the fun story kept her interested. Also the pictures are black and white. Some children might find these boring. For us though they were just right. Just enough of a picture, but not a distraction. 
common core. Some are not as well. For instance, to read the book Skunk, she needed to learn the words skunk and stripe. While those words are not on the list, they needed to be learned in order to read these books. (My sheet got colored on before I took this picture, it happens.)
Then as that friend left, 3 more showed up, all younger. They were more rowdy and less reading got done then. It was still fun.
