Okay, I posted these in correct order, but this is how it came up for some odd reason and I am too tired to fight with it!

It should have been posted in the numbered order, sorry. I didn't post all the pages, but just enough so you can get a good idea of what he's been up to. Dodo and Ugha usually join us for the read-aloud and the hands-on stuff, but I don't require narrations from them. Dodo has a prehistory journal too, since sometimes she wants to narrate or draw a picture about what we are learning.

The above are some of the pages in Scote's Prehistory Journal so far. Writing is still a struggle for him so he only has to write very short narrations. Sitting with him as he writes I am struck by how far my Dodo has come! I remember doing the exact same thing with her in kindergarten, but by the end of first grade she was writing half a page history narrations with no prompting, and now here she is a rising 3rd grader, and she fills pages! Her handwriting is doctor-esqe, but legible and at least not painful anymore.

The progression was so slow and steady I almost missed it, but my little Scote has brought it all back to me. I look forward to watching the same blossoming happen with him.

Everyone is really into the science, I am so glad I took the time to plan this out!
