Every weekend and throughout the summer, we have our eldest create a learning plan.
It typically involves reading, writing, and math.
He is rocking the reading and math these days so we are focusing more on writing.
He loves creative writing {he's got great style} in a word processor on account of the spelling/grammar assist
but
He really struggles with writing by hand.
The learning plan helps him build in space for concentrated focus on that.
Last weekend his "assignment" was to write a personal letter.
He decided to write a letter to his brother...to be read in 4 years.
I love this letter so much!
{spelling remains a work-in-progress}

This is the most amazing letter ever. And he looks so much like Jo in that pic! I love your boys. Today M said to Ruby, "You're being Ignoring." I said so you mean "ignoring" like she's ignoring you? Or annoying? She meant annoying of course.
