I haven’t really been able to make up my mind what grade level to put Thumper in this year. So, my though is if we take two years for “kinder and first” she will even out eventually. I remember this age being awkward to place Mouse in a grade level as well. They both are advanced in some areas and right on target age range for other things. Bear with me this year though as I figure it out and take it as she is still learning and enjoying every minute of it.

A lot has changed this year for Thumper as well. We are still having a lot of Read Alouds but missing is music and basic preschool busy work. In addition to our Sonlight Read alouds, I have also re-read the Princess in Black Series to her and we have started re-reading the Mercy Watson Series as well. She got new books in the series for Christmas and insisted we read the others again as well.
