Today was grammar day and my son has "done millions of pages" (really only 3 this week) and was ready to do something else. "Great" I said, "What do you want to do?", because in all reality I've already planned what to do this week, must I replan? No worries because he knew exactly what he wanted to do. M & M Grammar!!!
Making a board game is always fun and exciting, you get to decide how to draw the board, what different spaces mean and of course as in this case, how are we going to get to eat M & M's. The fun was still rolling right along as we decided what color to use for each topic but then reality hit us, we have to make up all the sentences to play this game. At this point my 10 year old son looks at me and says, "Okay this is getting complicated". I of course know this means "I'm losing interest" and that I, being the homeschool mom and all, must act quick. So here's my fast thinking trick for the day: I went to my very full, very large homeschool bookshelf and pulled out a grammar workbook, you know those ones you buy and are going to use but don't? I'm sure you all know where I'm going with this, yes you guessed it sentences and the answers to boot! I typed, my son did the cutting and pasting and Wa-La! M & M Grammar!
