These are a few of our favorite words...

The kids have "Favorite Word Boxes." A friend and former teacher recommended the idea to me. It helps Mira improve her reading skills and Ryan improve his spelling skills. Here's what they have so far:

Ryan:

nucleic
science
funny
Sri Lanka

Mira:

dad
you
love
coloring
world
turtle
bike
home
rainbow
I
hug
pokemon
Sri Lanka
people
presents
play
kiss
colors
movies
pictures
words
things
modern art
math
mama
Mira

They both talk about Sri Lanka a lot. Most days it comes up at least once. Today, it was the topic of conversation several times, including the following conversation.

Pam: ::hangs up from talking on cell phone::
Mira: Wow, you were talking really fast. Who was that?
Pam: It was Dad. Hopefully he can listen fast.
Mira: Well, he is Sri Lankan, after all.
Pam: That's just Uncle Zulki who talks really fast.
Ryan: Yeah, he's Uncle Sonic Mouth.
