"Let's talk about some dogs"

Did I mention that Carly is a total Dog Lover? Yes she is her mothers daughter and I am thrilled. If it were up to us we would be living on a ranch somewhere with about 50 dogs (and cats) running everywhere. Well here in the real world we have one dog and sometimes it seems like he is enough. So on and on my daughter talks about dogs, looks them up online and gives the calendar dogs on our fridge names. She also has like a bazzillion Webkins and treats them as much like a real dog as she possibly can.

Soooo what is a good homeschooling mom to do you ask. Give her lessons about......Dogs. She reads about them, spells them, classifies them and does reading comprehension exercises. It is really great and she is so into it she does not even realize she is doing school work. Last week we did a Unit study on Golden Retrievers. This week I think we are studying Beagles. Plus we will go to the library and borrow books that are about Dogs. Love it!
