Catching up, again

This was in my drafts. From May! Time to catch up. Again.

Reading: Maggie just started a new series. We read all the Mercy Watson books and then all the Violet Mackerel books. Now, we're reading a series called Anna Hibiscus. 
We're also reading the Lemony Snicket books. I like the level of mystery. Maggie spends a lot of time trying to put the pieces together. 
We read poems every day. She reads the same one several days in a row to work on her fluency and I read a different one every day.
We still make cards. We've also started working on Narration skills. Basically her ability to tell a story with details and elaboration. She's also been freewriting. She's so cute writing her little stories. There's not a whole lot of plot or detail but it's still cute. 
We're still making our way through spelling. We've almost made it through the Dolce list. She really has a feel for spelling. She almost always gets words right the first or second time and then once she gets it, she has it down. Even in her writing, she almost always gets her words right. 
For math, we switched to an online thing. It's very game based and she likes it. I'm still having her practice her basic facts so she has them memorized.
