..and here we are on a school day doing what we believe is important work; Fighting against discrimination. We were in and out of the State house. We were at the state capitol and talked about the marriage rights not as a gay issue but as a civil rights issue. We do not believe that the government should have laws that discriminate.

Madlibs!!

Sure they're obviously good for teaching parts of speech but you know what, Johanna has been hiding a hidden skill; her handwriting!
There she was asking for parts of speech and how to spell things when I looked over the sheet and what do I see? Perfectly written letters all small and fitting on the line provided.
School teachers have no idea how lucky they are that she is homeschooled. My beautifully stubborn little girl who knows herself so well she does not need to prove anything to anyone.
