My young friend, Meg, used to get up at 6:30 to be able to finish all of her school work before her neighborhood friends even got on the bus to go to public school. She enjoyed running out to the bus stop to announce she had finished! Now what? You need instant lessons occasionally for enrichment. Some of my favorite instant lessons are for writing.
Kiddos: Free Creative Writing Story Prompts are written for home-schoolers! Here, here, and here are more story starters. Print a list or two for your emergency files. You could also have your kiddos print a list my hand to practice handwriting.
Teens: I keep a set of grab and go writing prompts for days I just blank. I used several from San José State: Descriptive Writing, Pruning Your Prose, Snowball, etc. (Nope. I can’t find the source for the exercises unless they are buried in Homegrown Handouts.) Teens need to write! Practice with SAT Writing Prompts or these prompts.
There are any number of reasons you need an extra activity or an instant lesson. Let’s create a stack of files for fall!
