What Type of Homeschooler Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
I guess this is my future! We aren't actually homeschooling YET. We're enjoying Summer Mode right now. Sleeping in, playing all day, reading when we want. The boys did make a Vocabulary Notebook on the computer to track new words they come across while they read. This idea comes from Heart of Wisdom. They created a page for each letter of the alphabet and will add new words to the pages, along with the definition, the place where they saw the word, the date, and use the new word in a sentence. Seems like a good way to work on vocabulary and they were both excited about doing it on the computer!
Here's what ~N is reading:

Hopefully, he'll be so interested in this book that he'll change his mind about reading and decide he likes to read. He's a good reader but he's the type that would rather run off and play than sit and read.
Here's what ~D~ is reading:

~D~ loves to read and has narrated to me the first chapter, which he just finished. I originally wanted to read this out loud to my boys before we went to Budapest but I didn't get it ordered in time. It is about the adventures of a Hungarian boy and girl. Cousin Kate, the city girl from Budapest & Jancsi, the farm boy on the Hungarian plains.
I'm on the lookout for books like this. Historical fiction, especially those that deal with places we have visited or plan to visit.
Have a great day, y'all!!
Rejoice evermore,
Marla
