We have frequent mail deliveries to our neighbors, which serves as a beautiful way to write letters, practice penmanship, human kindness and more of those great social skills that everyone worries about with us homeschoolers!
Letter writing and mail delivery seems to be a weekly event in this house. And then, there are the regular Thank You Letters, the grocery lists that I ask their help with. Sierra will write out the full list and Canyon, a very new writer, will write the first letter and make cryptic notes therafter. It's a beautiful start and he feels amazingly confident in his writing ability because he can READ IT!
We have also created mail boxes in our house. Another great excuse to drop each other a note here and their to express something wonderful (or not so wonderful!) All feelings are welcome here in this house.
