August 27th, 2015 — first day of school, school
Ezri tells me her teacher is very nice. She got to play with Alice at recess. She wants me to buy her a milk card because they have chocolate milk.
Headed out in the morning with our backpacks on!
Celebrating afterschool with a cone of Lighthouse Cherry. We had a slight disagreement when she said she wanted two scoops and I said no. I ordered her the junior scoop. She said, “See, it is two scoops.” Portion size at Every Day’s a Sundae are large.
These are from the PTA photo booth held a few days before school started on the playground at school to welcome kids back.

Ezri asked I let the blog know about the books that she reads books all by herself now.
The title she wanted me to mention is Rainbow Magic: Pet Parade by Daisy Meadows.
She also read Ninja, Go! by Julia March aloud to Ivan. It is a guide to the Lego Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu.
We are not in chapter books yet, but she is building fluency in more complicated easy readers.
Over vacation she read the phrase “gleaming limousines” with no stumbles. First grade is going to be read-tastic.
Here she is reading about Reaction Cat from the new Aw Yeah Comics! volume 2:

At the Living History Museum where she got to play with a loom, watch a spinning demo, and see many flowers in the garden where all the plants are species that existed at the turn of the century.

Her favorite thing about vacation was the beach and the Wookiee woods. The nature path near the house was declared Wookiee Woods and had excited things like real dragonflies, real snakes, and the imagined threat of stormtroopers and Wookiee-eating giant cuckoo hawks. “Two lefts and a right?” she says trying to remember the way through the Wookiee Woods to get to the beach.
She also enjoyed the perpetual motion machine at the Museum of the Rockies, learning to weave from Grandma and the lady at the museum, playing in the prison cell at the Pioneer Museum, Taco Tuesday on a Monday, the restaurant with the chickens, the new RV, making the couch cushions into “Bouncy Funland,” and playing sleeping queens and uno (even if she didn’t win at either game).
