I’ve finally cleaned up the word cloud activity enough to release it. We tested the “colour the correct spelling” version today. The kids loved hunting for the right Monday.

3 ways to avoid ghosting your goals:
1. Have a plan - for us it is having the rule of homework before screen time
2. Have a backup to your plan - well, it's half term here, so there might have been some pre-homework screen time

When kids are in the other room, what’s scarier:
👻 silence
😱 indiscernible shrieking (maybe they are happy, maybe they are about to murder each other...)
Curious where you stand - which one puts you more on edge?

If you’ve been stuck trying to get your kids to practice handwriting and it’s not working, you’re not alone.
I recommend 1) separating writing practice from spelling activities 2) using proper guide lines for their skill level.

So I let go and scaled back. The site now features tools and blog posts front and centre. With the change of attitude came a renewed excitement for more experimentation and sharing the process rather than just waiting to report the end result (or not reporting as who wants to write about failure).

A glimpse of the dragon cave… erm, my office. When I’m there I can disconnect from the household clutter, chores and just focus. It’s far from the kitchen too, so no snacking distractions 😂

2. Colouring - this is an obvious second, it is surprisingly easy to make kids happy by adding their favourite characters into an activity. But it can be more educational too - we've been doing colouring and mind maps in one for days of the week. mydragonlibrary.com/activities/b...

Sometimes there are days when I'm out of ideas or out of time to prep. For such times I have a few goto activities that mean we still have something to do.
1. This Is Not A... - a creative drawing activity that the kids love and you can prep in 30 seconds. Kudos to the lady on instagram (link below)

We’ve been stuck in post-summer chaos, in need of a reset to our routine. I’ve been less consistent and the kids responded by avoiding the work more than usual. A bit more flexibility and variety in the activities will hopefully improve my results.

Not sure I properly introduced myself before, so here goes:

Worksheet update! The kids do love to insist on following the instructions to the letter, so when on occasion I asked them to write something else (or god forbid more!) it was like talking to a lawyer. Now the text is editable, directly in the worksheet creator for each new sheet. :) #devlog
