Avery's book buddie

Avery came home with a book buddie bag yesterday. This is a big step in the land of Kindergarten. Last week she went to the library and was allowed to actually check out a book and bring it home. So to start the nightly reading homework we witnesses during Reagan's Kindergarten year was a large step for our curly haired, blue eyed friend. She was rather excited. The book was titled "We Go Out." I was in their room working with Reagan on her clothes for today while Avery, who could not wait, started to read. I did not think much of it until I heard her read the following sentence. "We go out to the aquarium." What? Aquarium? I was not even sure how to spell aquarium.

I asked her to read the page again and then asked if she had read that book earlier in class or with Mrs. McRay. She had. Nice try. I chose a page in the middle, covered up the picture and asked her to read. After she guessed at every word of "We go to the pool" wrong, she asked me to let her see the pictures so that she could read it again. She was so proud of herself and so am I, even if she was looking at the pictures.
