Wild Thing Island

Posted by Picasa

An issue here is how to involve Wild Thing in the homeschooling groove without making him feel he has to DO anything.

So far he takes part in a few circle games that involve the sea, he paints with us and he LOVED making a Wild Thing tracing. His contains no vital organs, lots of pirates, and dinosaurs and buried treasure though. He's always up for drawing cutting and pasting so handwork is an inclusive activity. He's taking an interest in letters and numbers and he has made attempts to write "pirate". The more academic stuff we cover in circle doesn't interest him at all and he'd rather play with the Sprout then.
