Wonderful Writing Practice

Recently we were blessed by winning a blog drawing Sheri Graham and receiving "Pictures and Writing" by Diane Hurst. I had actually forgotten about the blog drawing until I received the email from Diane. We looked over the e-book and decided it would be gerat for Cameron to use for writing practice. After about 2 weeks, he loves it. The book is filled with writing/ drawing prompts and lots of space. The student draws/ makes a picture based on a prompt, then writes about the picture. It is that simple and at the same time it has given Cameron and wonderful outlet to create and feel like his sentence practice has a purpose.  Diane has created a wonderful tool for younger children that want to create and enjoy sentence writing. All I can say is "Thank you" both Sheri and Diane for a wonderful addition to our homeschool workboxes.

Cameron has the entire book in a binder that is placed in workbox number 5. He looks forward to box #5 and having a child look forward to something in school that is not recess or food related is a blessing.

Flower Headband

***Thaks Leigh Anne for the better shot...****



A while back Leigh Anne shared a fun crafty gift idea on her blog Your Home based Mom. I made a half joking comment about would it work for a 35 year old mom of 2 little boys... Leigh Anne replied back with something along the lines of 'why not' or 'go for it'.
Well getting ready for Celebrate Portland this coming weekend I decided to live it up and made myself a ribbon wrapped flower headband.
The picture isn't great but it is late and I was using my 2 year old camera phone...
