Today the kids wrote letters to their pen pals. This took a lot of time. They loved it though! Writing with out pain and writing with a purpose. I love it! They were able to work on good handwriting, sentence structure, paragraphs, spelling and grammar. They aren't perfect by any means but it's a whole lot more meaningful that random workbook assignments! (Thank you Heather!)

We also spend a lot of time on Percy Jackson. We read in three different sessions today. The kids really like the book. It's fun, but it definitely requires editing by me as I read a lot.

As always I know I've forgotten many things. But hopefully our blog is helpful to generate ideas out their for your own homes!
