On Saturday morning we had a mystery to solve. It was "The Mystery of the Missing Headband". I couldn't find the headband I wear when I am home. It wasn't in any of my usual places. We looked high and low and the kids really enjoyed the hunt of it all! HC really was motivated. She was so motivated that she wanted to make a sign declaring our sudden mystery.
I helped her spell the words and she went to making her sign! It was fun to see her want to write without any provocation. We do our normal handwriting each day but this was fun because she was inspired! I love when they get into learning. This clearly proves the point that learning is sweeter when the kids are interested. I think she did SUCH a great job with her sign! I am so proud of her!
We had fun, but most of all I enjoyed seeing HC want to use her new skill. We did find the headband after a short while. Daddy found it for us. I had placed it somewhere out of the norm and the kids were elated that our mystery was solved. I clearly have a couple of eager detectives on my hands!
