phonics, maize, etc.

Lara is learning to read and write. She does quite well at writing phonetically, which would work great for Chichewa. Her latest art work displaying her writing skills was this sentence taped to the wall:

"I wil lisn to mi mom ad my dad."

Not bad for one semester of school! (and no, she was not forced to write those words, it was a complete surprise; she said it was to help her remember to listen, which sounds like a great idea, and well intentioned...)

Some other pictures from around the house too...
