Night Elf Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Upon seeing her new schedule including the new work I've assigned, she said 'But that's work Mom!'. Um, yeah. That's the point. So she made her schedule with a little of my help and she'll start on Monday. She's actually excited about the Jamestown project (a planned lapbook that she will turn into a different project). It gives her total creative license which appeals to her independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2read Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Tell us about the Jamestown Project, it sounds interesting. I've never done lapbooks with older children, but would like to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a process, that's for sure. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My oldest is 11, and this year I had her involved in creating our schedule. She really enjoyed it, and seems to be more motivated to do what she's planned for herself.

Night Elf Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Dd12 is a LIST person and I put that in caps on purpose. She makes lists for everything! Neither of my other children are that way. They still depend on me to make their school schedules. I will certainly post about the Jamestown project when we have it figured out. Like I said, it's a lapbook kit I purchased from Hands of a Child but dd12 wants to do something differently with it. I gave her some ideas and it might be a cross between a notebook and a History Pockets project. If she enjoys it, I also have their American Revolution kit that I had forgotten about. This could be a good way for her to just focus on some major American History events before she begins high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
