Favs:
Since toddlerhood, her favorite meal has been PBJ and green beans, and nothing has changed. She is obsessed with brownies, drawing in her sketch book, gymnastics, cats, Egypt, and gardening. She loves reading ANYTHING she can get her hands on, but her most recent discovery has been Calvin and Hobbes. Every night, Soph and PDaddy assign characters from the Calvin comic strips and act out their specified part. All I can hear from her bedroom are hysteric giggles and guffawing. It's pretty amusing. Her class has been studying about Ireland this month, and she has taken an keen interest in Irish folk music. Apparently they've been listening to it in class, and she's now a walking Irish Encyclopedia. Her teacher taught the class an 'Irish jig.' I wish I had a nickel for everytime I've had to witness the Irish jig. Wow.
School:
2nd grade has been an awesome year for Soph. She has an amazing teacher this year that she adores, and we've been so thankful for her. I've been very appreciative of her teacher's interest in getting Sophy extra things to do to occupy her time and keep her busy when it comes to things she doesn't necessarily need to learn. Her class spent today (St. Patty's day) celebrating in style, and they worked on ratios/fractions with Lucky Charms which made Soph VERY happy. Her favorite school topics thus far have been the ones covered in geometry and multiplication. If I hear one more thing about vertices or what 6X4 equals, I'm liable to scream! On the side, she's taken it upon herself to learn about Arabic customs and beliefs. Yeah, very interesting. Hahha. Her grades have been awesome this year. She's yet to drop below a 95 in any subject and currently has a 101 in math. I really hope her love of math holds out!
