D.E.A.R.

Another homeschool mom (who is graduating her last daughter next year) recently shared a tradition she stole from the Public School system . . .

D.E.A.R.  Every day after lunch they Drop Everything And Read for 30 minutes to an hour.  It is a nice little down time for everyone to do a little reading for pleasure.  I wonder if the association with deer would help it go over any better with my crew?  I think we are going to try this out soon.  When my schoolroom is complete I may set up a few pop-up tents & let them do a little D.E.A.R. hunting – for books!!

What about you . . . do you have any traditions you’ve created over the years?  Is there something you’ve done since the beginning that you’d like to share?  Or do you have a reading tip you’d like to share? 

If so leave me a comment, I’d love to hear/read about it!
