The Dolphins by Supergirl

-

We’ve been studying Dolphins, Porpoises, & Whales a Project Pack from Hands of a Child. (Look for my review early next week!). Supergirl loves all things to do with the sea and oceans.

One of the activities is called Dolphin Story.  I was going to skip it. I wasn’t sure she was up to writing a story but she wanted to write a “story poem” (um, nope, I don’t know what that means but it means something to her!).

With very little prompting from me this is what she wrote:

The Dolphins

By Supergirl

The Dolphins live in the sea. They keep swimming. They like playing fish games like fish tag. The Mom told the kids, “play in the water not go to the sharks” or the sharks will eat them. The kid dolphins played a game of Go Fish.  The Dolphins play restaurant and then they play tag again. They had fun!

The End

 

She is so proud of her book! She demanded that Daddy read it.  Then she took it to each of her sisters so that they would read it.

It’s moments like this that make home schooling so very very worth it!

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspired to write about my new way of eating a
