What We're Doing Now

It's November and it's time to be thinking about Thanksgiving.  So we're getting ready for Thanksgiving by looking up quotes about Thanks and Gratitude.  And then we're heading over to  this great penmanship site:

 And this link is for my kiddo that is learning how to print: http://www.handwritingworksheets.com/flash/dnealian/paragraph/index.html


About a month ago we invested in a great book, Homeschooling Your Child For Free by LauraMaery Gold and Joan M. Zielinski., and that's where I found the above link . . .so this is what we did with the quote and the site.  Added 'em together and this equaled an opportunity for my kiddo to read, trace and copy the quote.  Tomorrow I'm going to say "So, what do you think this quote means?"


And then we're gonna talk about the difference between "Thankful" and "Gratitude".  ( Here's a hint:  one is a noun, and one's an adjective.  :)  Don't you just love being able to slip a little learning into the season?)
