Sew Mama Sew is doing a
month of Christmas projects. Definitely get over there and get some
ideas, and while you are at it, comment and enter to win a prize.
Andrew Kern has written a great post on When and How to Teach Grammar. I love it when people write what I think, because I can't write so well. I especially love these quotes from the article:
"We
must not think about grammar as an academic study. Life is not for
school; school is for life. We should always teach grammar for the
simple reason that we always do teach grammar."
"If
you are speaking to another person, you are helping form the pattern of
that person’s thinking. You are contributing to his vocabulary (maybe
that’s more obvious), and you are also contributing to the structure of
his thought. If you
constantly speak to your two or three year old child in one and two
word sentences, that is how your child will tend to think. And that’s
more or less OK with a one year old, less so with a two year old, and
horrible with a three year old." If you don't subscribe to Quiddity on your "reader" do so, you won't be sorry!
