Homework Journal
Each week, Amailah picks one book we've read and writes in her homework journal about it. For October, the assignment was to write about your favorite part of one of your books. Kids do this at different levels -- some dictate and the parents write, for example. Amailah likes to write her own and is getting very good at ear-spelling and even regularly gets in some book-spelling of some sight-words (words that aren't spelled phonetically). A parent then writes out the translation at the bottom of the page and Amailah draws some art in the middle.
