Free and Low Cost “Whole”istic Learning Opportunities: Writing
We believe in a “whole”istic approach to learning (which is generally free and low cost). So what does that mean to us for writing? Well...it is like this...
- Write letters to pen pals, homeschooling groups, folks in service, elderly in nursing homes, and family members.
- Do Mad Libs for learning parts of speech.
- Play games like go fish, old maid, matching, and others with high frequency words.
- Meet authors at libraries or book stores.
- Do puzzle books with word searches, acrostics, cryptograms, and crosswords.
- Learn morse code and send messages to each other.
- Learn a word of the week together.
- Keep an experiment notebook recording our experiments and results.
- Keep a commonplace notebook for accumulating a collection of quotes.
- Keep a devotional book for Bible readings.
- Keep a nature notebook for recording interesting facts about things we are learning about.
- Tell stories about family times, the day, or fairy tales.
- Write thank you's to folks that have helped us with learning.
