Previous slide: Hahgoot with her friends Adrian, Hannah and Paige next to their class’ sunflowers. Thanks Hanna Piza for the lovely photos! Hahgoot has been working hard on her homework – she spends 10 minutes on a Monday on the homework from her teacher and then gets a lot of extra tasks from me every night. Top right: The IXL website for maths has been brilliant – Hahgoot loves it and the arguments are a thing of the past. Bottom right: I found her a workbook about English idioms she liked.

Hahgoot didn’t get her award for nothing... Her reading is certainly astounding, in width and in depth. Here she is enjoying Jack London’s “Call of the Wild” (left) and Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist”.

Hahgoot has been enjoying her reading in Hebrew as well, especially Galila Ron-Feder’s “Time Tunnel” series about Israel’s history. Misty enjoys Hahgoot’s reading too...
They both enjoy their daily hour reading on the sofa

Hahgoot also enthusiastically filled up reading club forms at the library and won a goodies bag and a pen that writes with invisible ink and has a UV flashlight! Super cool stuff!
