Hop On Pop

I love Dr. Seuss.  I've always loved his books.  When we went to Universal Studios in 2000, I even bought a pair of Thing 1 and Thing 2 socks.  But I digress.  Add another book to the list of accomplishments for my little student.  Granted, Hop On Pop is a very easy book, but it's also quite long compared to other first readers.  By the end of it, KD was getting a bit lazy or frustrated or bored, stumbling on words that were easy at the beginning.  I try really hard not to get frustrated with her, but sometimes that's more difficult than it sounds.  Regardless, she finished and was rewarded with a popsicle for her sticktuitiveness.  

Tonight after she gets home from choir practice, we're starting on the first Little House book.  I'm looking forward to seeing how she reacts to the idea of frontier life.  She already knows that Laura Ingalls made her own toys because they didn't have stores.  I think I'm looking forward to the journey through time more than she is.
