Last Spring when we were exploring our options for the chicklets’ education, some nitwit in a local group called us “lazy” for considering homeschool. I can assure her that my free time has virtually evaporated over the past 10 months! Today we are avoiding summer slide by adding new words found in books from our Baker’s Dozen Reading Challenge to their vocabulary journals. Learning takes place all day, every day of every season. #literacymatters #homeschool #theyneedtoknowthings #reading #spelling #vocabulary #handwriting #discussion #2018goals #readingchallenge #readingchallenge2018 #bakersdozen #readforfun #writeforfun #learnforfun #smartcookies #mygirls (at Port La Belle, Florida)
