A Typical Homeschool Morning.


Thomas ( son number 6) has written a narrative on how, yesterday, he spent his homeschool morning.

It is interesting to read a "typical homeschool morning" from a young teen's perspective.

If you'd like a peek, you can read at Thomas' blog.
Here's Thomas curled up on the sofa enjoying a book - I caught him before he realised that the camera was out!

Leonie -- your Thomas sounds like mine (only mine is a bit younger) but fanatic about computer games too. I really liked Thomas' narrative -- especially the beginning of the end and the end of the end parts.

You are justly proud of your boys, Leonie!

Tell Thomas thanks for starting my day off with a smile! It sounds like a productive day - and good luck getting the ammo back ;-)

Like Mary G, I'm really groovin' on Thomas' intro and ending. A job well done!

Thanks everyone - its an unedited piece but it is pure Thomas - and we thought it was fun to see a kid's POV of a homeschool morning.Thomas turned 14 not that long ago...

Very cool :-)

You asked if I was using anything in particular with Bek to encourage her composition skills. We're just going to work through Writer's Inc. I may pull a few things out of "Skills for Literary Analysis" by Stobaugh as well, once we have done some more writing.

Nothing too exciting...just want to get the job done! ~LOL~

Hi Susan,

Jonathon often refers to Writer's Inc when doing his uni assignments - it is a very helpful resource, isn't it?

The only book we have by Stobaugh is the Christian Guide to the SAT - a nice reading list there.
