sewing

My mom visited with my teacher yesterday for their final conference of the year. I am excelling as a Montessori student.

Now that I have mastered the maps (I know and can identify all of the continents and some oceans) and the geometric solids, I have been sewing. It is my goal to have a sample perfect enough to submit to Trinity in support of my job application.

My school day looks much like my day at home and my teacher says this is the ideal. I read every book. And then talk about every detail of every book. (We raided Trinity's prized Roald Dahl stash and my dad has been reading chapter books to me and my mom quizzes me about plot and characters.)  I build. (In addition to the river my dad and I have built, I have multiple construction projects in the yard.) I engage anyone and everyone in conversation. (My teacher says I am well qualified to be a debater. At home, my dad is usually on the losing end of this.) I have been developing my math skills and I think we can thank my mom for this. (OK, maybe not.)

About my river: we got the water bill yesterday. It was big. Like the Amazon.
