I’ve enjoyed tracking their ever changing writing styles. Sometimes I have been so excited to capture their growth in sharpening proper letter formation. Other times I have had to witness their lazy and rushed attitude for just completing the assignment. Either way, I am happy that technology allows me to capture these moments.
After completing our lesson on letter writing, Jackson had to address and send a thank you letter in the mail.
Our topic was to write about “Girls”
Topic, “write about a time when someone helped you”
By Jackson, simple yet priceless with the conversation between “Jackson and Elijah”
This was what Jackson made for Debbie’s birthday.
He used the lesson of Dogs in our “Draw Write Now” Art activities.
Morning writing assignments for Abigail was to make thank you notes for her birthday gifts.
We also sent letters to Aunt Brooke, Uncle Mikey, Jaydie and Elijah, and Nana and Papaw.
Hopefully hand written thank you’s will be a skill they use forever!

For the past month Jackson has started reading “The Magic Tree House” books by Mary Pope Osborne. He has completed books 1-4. These four books are about the mystery of the tree house where the characters travel to the time of dinosaurs, medieval times with a knight, ancient Egypt with a mummy, and with pirates searching for a buried treasure.
At the end of each book he takes a written test.
We look forward to reading all 28 books in “The Magic Tree House” series.

Abigail is very proud of herself…me too!
Isabela “plays” school with her circles, letter I and X, and a triangle.
School time is a blessed time! The moments are full of sweat, tears, frustrations, and zapped energies…however we are a little more educated, a little more prepared, and a whole lot stronger for it. I love being the teacher of my three!
