Handwriting / Vocabulary

One of my personal favorite things during the past week was giving Micah the responsibility of completing some activities/lessons on his own. On Monday we went over some vocabulary words in his writing tablet and he was to write each word once by Tuesday at 4pm (WordGirl time). It was done - and very nicely. We talked about the letters, spacing, etc. and selected some stickers to put on the page.

On Wednesday I did the same thing. There were a few more words but he had until Friday at 4pm. He handled the responsibility wonderfully. It was nice for me because I didn't need to do any reminding. He knew that he was in charge of managing his time.
It was fun seeing the times he selected to work, how long he spent on it, and what he did as "breaks" in between writing.
