Tim had some workbook time last night, or, what he calls "homework." I was at the
office the whole day Thursday and Friday, so I thought we'd get in some writing and reading practice before bedtime. We decided to use the Summer Skills Daily Activity Workbook for Grade 1 that we got (for P99!) at National Bookstore last
Independence Day.

Do you see little Therese's foot?! Haha! |
Yes, I know
summer is officially over for us here in the Philippines, but the workbook is really nice! :) Tim enjoyed choosing which pages he wanted to do and I was amazed that his handwriting has improved greatly (by my standards anyway, LOL!) EVEN IF WE HARDLY DID ANY WRITING PRACTICE THESE PAST FEW MONTHS! :) God, You're amazing!
One of the pages required Tim to draw something and he ended up being SO EXCITED that he asked for a separate piece of paper so he could draw some more.
|
Tim usually doesn't like drawing or coloring, so I let him go crazy drawing up his own characters and making up his own story — even if it was a little bit too "violent" for my taste! You know, fighting and zombies and monsters and whatnot! :P |
He got SOOO excited that he even asked for my help to make a book. I tried to recall fellow homeschool mom Mariel's tips for
encouraging story-writing among young children as we went along.
|
I had Tim write the page numbers for our book. :)

This is what our book cover looks like:

The Adventures of Timothy and Friends Written and Illustrated by Tim and Tina Rodriguez |
Can you tell which words Tim wrote and which ones I did? LOL! :) I helped draw the picture but asked Tim to do the details. :) So what do you guys think?
P.S. I am overjoyed that Tim has started enjoying writing and thinking up his own stories and characters. He's been doing this from time to time with his toys and this isn't the first time he's made up his own stories BUT it is the first time we've actually tried putting them in "book" form! :) Perhaps we have an author / illustrator in the making? Only God knows His plans for our kids, and whatever they are, they're certainly the BEST! :D + AMDG +

I really enjoyed reading your book, Tim! Mom and Dad really make the world a safer place! :) I'm really, really glad that you're finding stuff to do from my blog Teacher Mama Tina!
Thank you, Teacher/Tita Mariel! :) Will post about our Father's Day celebration on www.TrulyRichMom.com soon! :D
