We have a white dry erase board hung up in our school room.  The boys love when I teach a lesson using that.  Today we were working on grammar and taking a statement sentence and turning it into a question.  Our workbook had lots of sentences to work on but Jake was excited to do the sentences on the board.  He hopped up from his seat and wrote a statement sentence and then under it turned it into a question.    He did several and got his lesson done with lots of smiles instead of grumbles :)    It is fun to learn new ways to motivate the kids.  I guess that is what homeschooling is all about.  Thinking outside the box! Well the rest of the morning we spent painting plastic eggs and stringing the eggs with beads to hang up on our tree in the kitchen.    There have been some great ideas in www.familyfun.com .  Check out their site if you need some fun ideas!!  Well it is rest time for everyone (yippee) and then T-Ball practice tonight for Jake.  Have a wonderful day!
