Working on America's Story Copywork Book

Posted in Language Arts

I've been working on putting the finishing touches on my next project, Character Building Copywork - America's Story, and came across this quote from Daniel Boone.  I'm not putting it in my copywork book, but my hubby and I did get a chuckle from it!
"I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks."
I guess even in the 1800s, it was hard for a man to admit he was lost

In case you're wondering what kind of quotes your children might use to practice their handwriting, here are a couple of quotes to inspire from "America's Story" -
 “It is the object only of war that makes it honorable.  And if there was ever a just war since the world began, it is this in which America is now engaged.”
Thomas Paine

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."
Martha Washington

I can hardly wait to have "America's Story" finished!  From Columbus to President Bush, children will have copywork to compliment their history studies no matter what curriclum you are using!

Back to work!

At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
