Thanks for talking about Writing in your homes; it really gives me some ideas. Right now for writing we do either WWE 1 or RFW "T" or AAS 2 or ETC or SL Science! We do lots of narration and discussion about material-verbally. But, I would like to help dd get a little more comfortable with her ability to write. I think doing the AAS has really showed her she can spell more than teaching her to spell. We are on AAS 2 and except for a ramdom word she already knows how to spell these words or can figure it out. The thing I saw, and liked, at the ps was that the kids wrote down ideas with a few words without that being the issue. I've always leaned more towards the "better late than early" mode of thinking b/c they said that the kids would naturally move toward doing things themselves but I really don't see my specific dd leaving her groove!
Today we am off to sell some of my duplicate books at a curriculum sale at a church. I've never done anything like this; but I am tired of all the boxes of extra books in my spare bedroom. Maybe this will be a good start in my pursuit of saving up money for the new writing program! My van is all loaded up; now I have to go wake up my dd who never gets up this early....this should be interesting! But, she made some signs herself that say "books for sale" and she is encouraging me to wander around the sale and she will take care of the business. That is not like her at all! Is she growing up?
