HS - Friendly Notes/ DC - the Family

I so enjoy homeschooling! There are days that are not so enjoyable, but most of the time I'm so grateful for the opportunity and resources to do such a wonderful thing for my kids.

On most Fridays we change our Language Arts work from the regular stuff - it's Friday after all.  They write notes to friends and family.  We even purchased special stationary for our notes.

Evie wrote to her friend Aidan Crandall from Sumter, SC

Joe decided to write to his cousin Parker in Spokane, WA


While Eve and Joe do one level of school, obviously Liz and Al do another.  This Friday they did a lesson on the family.  We made sure to have a picture of our family sitting next to us as a guide.  The girls really liked it and made it a longer lesson than I scheduled so they could build a home and put the family members in their correct places.

 We have a front door, some beds, a kitchen, and a living room.
Don't ask why a dump truck happens to be in the bedroom, I couldn't get a straight 
answer without a mouthful of giggles to garble it.
