We're going green!


NOT!!!! Kendrick was kind enough to be our model today so we could show how we do our daily spelling practice. We used notebooks at one time, but one day Johnston asked if he could do it this way. It was awesome!

All you need is dry erase marker, wet rag and tile....bam....you can be green too! Think of all the trees we are saving!

When the kiddos are ready to be tested I give them a test on paper "gasp" and then I file that for our school records. The kids have a blast doing their spelling now. I love finding new ways to do schooling in an unusual way. Now this is not for parents who have children that might go off and draw on every surface of the house. Our kids know that writing on anything other then paper without permission is worthy of banishment to the dog house so we are safe.

Feel free to leave any ideas for schooling in unusual ways!

  1. when I first saw Kendrick's pic - I thought he was busted for something. but, this is really neat. maybe have them use an invisible marker (or one the ink glows in the dark).

    Have a GREAT birthday tomorrow!!!
