I can’t think of a favorite article. I have lots of boring articles that I have bookmarked and reference from time to time… mostly design stuff and freelance stuff. My favorite reads lately have been from my kids. With school in full swing, there are plenty of papers being written around this homeschooling house.

A few weeks ago, my 3rd grader wrote a report on Koala Bears. I actually learned quite a bit. And it was fun helping her formulate interesting sentences. Today, my 7th grader wrote a 4 paragraph reflection of “A Christmas Carol” and what he thought about each visit to Scrooge. It was very neat to see how he described each visit. My 5th grader… he also wrote a report this week. He is probably my most creative writer in the house (so far.) His report was about the Revolutionary War. And, while I don’t remember specifically what he was talking about in the last paragraph, I do remember his last sentence… “What’s up with that?” That’s how he ended it. With my red pen in hand, I *almost* corrected him and said HELLO??? you can’t end a report like that. But, I didn’t… because, it was kind of cool.. and, he’s only in 5th grade. He made it personal… that made me smile.
