You are using what I was taught,UNIT TEACHING.You are teaching almost every subject through this house project. I'd love to see you write this up for one of the education books or magazines.Also, you have the photos you can use.I doubt it would pay much but might be a start on another trip's expense, for example.Yes, I know how busy you are but do think about it.<br />ElvaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-48048442927520073332011-11-03T11:50:12.647-06:002011-11-03T11:50:12.647-06:00Very much in agreement with what Lael said, Cindy!...Very much in agreement with what Lael said, Cindy!

Break down a project step-by-step and write an explanation of the process of completing a particular project, in-depth from beginning to end, yet still with engaging writing style, organization and academic word choice.<br /><br />- Research paper. Investigate building materials around the world. What materials are available in different climates? And what are the benefits of using these materials? What about the layout of room interiors? How do cultural values shape our homes? <br /><br />- Start studying for their real estate broker's license.

We have such narrow definitions of creativity. It doesn't mean just making jewelry, creating a picture, writing a story. It means teaching with creativity and love. The hours you have spent researching, planning, coming up with a meaningful, expansive, and loving curriculum. Creativity means seizing every moment, savoring life, enjoying your children while they are young.<br /><br />Salute to working moms--remember when you were the mother of three, drove round trip 120 miles through the mountains in winter to have a job, and did all the rest like cooking, laundry, etc. Salute to you too, Cindy. We are all working moms. The difference is that some of us get paid.<br /><br />Love and joy,<br />LaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-85086842071052089292011-11-02T14:48:18.010-06:002011-11-02T14:48:18.010-06:00Hi Cindy-

They can learn about managing, rental contracts, maintainence, relationships with renters, and on and on. No stopping the LaJoy's now!<br /><br />You are so right, Cindy. Hands on is a great way to learn and a great confidence booster. My hubby is great at working with the kids. Me...less so, as my idea is to get the job done so we can move on to more fun things! But I value that he does so well with having each of them work with him. On the farm, our sons have been given responsiblity with machinery, driving, hauling, etc. One of our sons is very mechanically minded and hubby comes to him sometimes for help in that department. <br /><br />I would have given much to have had my dad take the time to work with me on things...or allow me to hold a wrench or hammer and feel like I was part of something important...and also valued by him.<br /><br />What a blessing this huge project is for all of you.<br /><br />Nancy in the MidwestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
