Planning

 

We have been in a planning mode. We are planning some projects and timelines, gift making for the holidays, and writing our wish lists. Wishing for toys, clothes, office supplies, games, computer stuff, and special projects we want to complete and places we want to visit.

Musa has decided that he wants to learn how to write cursive and spell better, so we have been discussing how he wants to go about reaching his goal. He has discovered that he doesn't do well without some structure and activities so asked me to help him set up a system. He is also interested in writing some short stories and someday a novel, so has started a "sentence-a-day" story. He adds one sentence each day.

He also wants to learn multipication and fractions, so we designed some lessons and got some fun books from the library to help the process along.

Retta has decided she wants to learn how to make better circles and how to make better F's. She LOVES any kind of workseet and asked if I would give her one a day and help her learn how to spell.

We are all feeling good about our decisions and love the flexibilty we have to try different methods to help reach our goals.

 

                                

We watched a movie this afternoon, titled, "5 Children and It." It was a grand adventure, set during World War I, involved 5 charming children and a delightful sand fairy. Retta smiled large at the end and said it was a very happy movie.
