Last night Charlie sat down to write a couple stories to practice his handwriting. Charlie wasn’t sure what kind of story he would like to tell. I reminded Charlie I had purchased a journal for him a while back that had daily prompts inside to write about. When I asked Charlie where the journal was Charlie said he wasn’t sure but he thought it had gotten packed away with the Homeschooling books.
This morning once I had Charlie at school I thought I would go into the storage room and see if I could find the journal. Although I had a lot of work I needed to do before I left to go walk. I thought I would look up prompts for stories Charlie could write online. Only I couldn’t decide what would interest Charlie.
Instead of wasting time I decided I would get to work. I begin to go through emails when I came to a email that mentioned upcoming January Holidays so I decided I would put together a list. Charlie could pick from the January Holidays on what he wanted to write. As I was composing the list I thought you might like to check January Holidays out as well.
Bloggers can get stuck and not have a clue what they want to share on there sites and January Holidays can lead to new blog post. Or if your Homeschooling your children you can use the topics in reading or writing. Or as a way to spend time with your family as you could create a book using January Holidays.
