Future Homeschool Mom in Training!
Posted in School
|
To help make school more fun and interesting for our almost 11-year-old daughter, I handed over our Before Five in a Row manual and let her have the responsibility of doing that part of 'school' with her younger sister. This is how I caught them the very first day! I must say, after watching big sissy go through the manual, write down the 'lessons' she wanted to do, look up 'go-along' books on our library's website, printing out coloring pictures, pointing out to little sissy different things in the illustrations such as how you could tell the wind was blowing, getting her two brothers to help her act out the book for little sister, finding a book on how to make homemade ice cream, and buying, from eBay, with her OWN money, a green pocketbook AND filling it with all the things the little girl in the book had in her green pocketbook for little sister's birthday, well, I think it's safe to say that my future grandchildren are going to be very, very blessed with a wonderful, fun-filled, memory-making home education!
