Como estas?

Estoy feliz. We are loving this Spanish curriculum we are using from Classical Academic Press. Song School Spanish made for K-3rd grade. We are on Chapter 4 which is a review chapter of the previous 3 chapters. Awesome!! Most chapters have plays the kids act out, or stories I read to them, and of course lots and lots of singing. They don't argue about doing any aspects of it. There is some writing involved, and Luke complains about that; but that's nothing new when it comes to writing anything.
Summer can't do the writing parts yet, but when she can we will review it all again. I do like that I don't really have to prepare anything for the lesson that day. It makes me wonder if a boxed curriculum would save me some time. Anyway this program is awesome! We highly recommend it. They also have Greek and Latin versions. :)

What is the Right way to Write?

   I'm not certain what the right way to write is, but I am certain that many of my students were able to write logical and interesting stories by using The Writing Process. And what's more, I enjoy teaching it this way. It's logical and goes in steps, which makes me feel very comfortable.
    I've shown Luke the steps before, but I think that now that he can read and write pretty well; we are both ready to dive in and write some fantastic stories! Plus, by teaching in this manner, I can focus his language lessons on what he actually needs help with. Awesome! I love to teach writing!
    Here are a few examples of sheets I'm using for Prewriting, the first step in The Writing Process.
