No Baby Stuff at The English Schoolhouse

So I've said before that when the kids read, I read.
When the kids write, I write.
Now let it be known that when the kids snack, I snack...
sent Flavi to get this from the bar downstairs this morning.  
Love how it came on its own little golden platter.
 Today before writing in our journals we held a quick Writer's Workshop.  I modeled/explained the difference between chicken scratch (aka scribble scrabble) in my own journal...
and acceptable work
"Scribble scrabble is baby stuff," I said, "and if there's one thing we all know, it's that there are NO BABIES allowed at The English Schoolhouse.  Alright...it's writing time!"




 ...and dictating and illustrating is exactly what they did.
