Little Star Homeschool

"Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each." Plato

We went into town today to fetch ink cartridges for the printer. We usually go to to town on Thursday, so Robert kept asking if it was Thursday. He had already established earlier on this morning that it was Saturday because we had already been for our regular Saturday lunchtime drink at our local. All became clear when we got to town, it was much busier and the market was different.

First stop in town was the remainder book shop who had little to offer in the way of new titles, just picked up some gel pens, pencils and paint brushes. We then headed for Ottakers where Robert chose a new Kipper book, Kipper's Monster and then carried the bag himself very carefully until we got on the bus.

After we read Kipper I tried the new pens, jotting down a few words to see if he recognised anything. So far he can read cat, next, his own name, mummy and daddy. I wanted to see if he could read a word on its own without a picture prompt. He can and I'm so proud. He is also much relieved we have ink in the printer again so he can print everything on the CBeebies website...again *sighs*
