Henry Knox, free reading, and letters to friends

We're reading the graphic novel One Dead Spy, roughly about the life of Nathan Hale. We just finished reading about Henry Knox bringing artillery to Boston, so there's lots of talk of cannons. 

Both Wystan and Asmund are venturing out of their phonic readers into easy readers. I Love Trees, and Robot Go Bot are favorites. 

Asmund has begun writing letters to friends, or, missives to fellow spies.

We haven't finished the MFW kindergarten program, and I'm not planning on it. We went through the vowels, but they've advanced beyond it, and are bored to tears with it. 

Asmund's journal, drawing of the cannon being pulled across the ice on the Hudson, "I still don't know why cannons shoot cannonballs instead of cans."
