emma_in_dream1, I attended an inadvertently funny training session yesterday. I can say no more on an open forum, but, as Terry Pratchett would say, I did not know where to put my eyes.
2, Ruby read a book yesterday. With some help from me, looking at the pictures and spelling out the words, she made it all the way through an ‘I can read’ book. I was very impressed.
3, After warning Pearl about the sad ending of *Anne of Green Gables*, she has decided to stop where she is, just short of the end of the novel. We have begun reading *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe*, with frequent assurances that yes, the witch really is evil, not just misunderstood, and yes, it will all end ok, and no, Aslan will defeat the bad guys, and yes, they do make it back through the wardrobe, and yes, Edmund does make up with his siblings and no, he isn’t permanently hurt by the witch. Also, we have had some digressions into the world of back then people thought girls couldn’t do all the things boys could and that’s why the girls don’t get weapons or fight, and yes, on the whole most adult men are stronger than most adult women but not all and some women do become soldiers, and yes, it’s another example of how things were different in the past.
