My Little Spies
Although we learn year round, summer is the time when the kids pursue their own interests with occasional nudges from me. The rest of the year, I lead them more. I am always happily surprised, when left to their own devices, what they choose to do. This morning I went downstairs to our playroom/art room/ library/family room and found the girls hard at work. Not wanting to disturb their concentration, I watched from afar. They had a dictionary and various books spread out on the picnic table. Later, I asked if I could take a peek (this is the first page):
The Big Spy Handbook
1. A spy is not afraid of anything.
2. A spy must not be seen.
3. A spy never fails.
4. A spy has great disguises.
I took this opportunity to remind them of some of the great books that we have that they haven't read yet:
Harriet the Spy Louise Fitzhugh
Trixie Belden Mysteries Julie Campbell
Ato Z Mysteries Ron Roy
They were very excited about reading books about spies/detectives and asked if they could take them with us when we went out on the boat today. Maybe it's because I'm their mom, but really... how cute is that ?
