Here’s my full disclosure policy. 

 

This is my favorite homeschooling time of year!
We loosen up and simply enjoy learning, how about you?
Our oldest son turns 21 Memorial weekend.
How the heck can I be old enough to have a 21 year old!
In honor of the holiday’s coming up, we are doing a few Patriotic lessons.
Today, we focused on the Pledge of Allegiance.
 There is a great set of Patriotic Templates here.

I had the boys choose their favorite page for the day.  
I wrote the Pledge on our white board and we began copywork hour.
I am always pleasantly surprised how much more care the boys take in doing any assignment when they get to choose a template that “tickles their fancy”.
Munchkin here decided that today is the day that his copywork will be in cursive for the first time.
Beautiful!
      

 We call this guy our gentle giant. He is huge for his age, and as a result his fine motor skills are still developing. 
Look at the concentration!
 
Very Happy with his results!

 Our oldest musketeer loves to write in cursive…
 He is well pleased with the results

We wrote the Pledge of Allegiance.

Defined vocabulary: Pledge, allegiance, Republic, indivisible, Liberty and Justice.

Researched flag etiquette.

  • Did you know you can only fly an American flag at night if it is illuminated?
  • Did you know you are never suppose to use our flag to advertise and product or service?

We are going to be looking at Memorial Day and Independence Day next…
