{155/365} Each week Emily brings home "Just Right" books which she reads out loud. These books tend to have many photos and not too many words. Last week she came home with a HUGE smile on her face. "Mom...I brought home a CHAPTER book this week"!! She was so excited because this meant she was now on a second grade level for reading! Her first chapter book is Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus! LOL There were about 10 chapters, each one taking a while to finish. Her teacher let her take it home each night so she wouldn't have to finish in one sitting. It took about a week but tonight she sat in her "reading spot" (not sure why she sits on the table) and read the last chapter of her book! She was so proud of herself and even made a speech when she was done. This was followed by the ceremonial "retiring" of her book mark! Emily could make a celebration out of anything! :)
