My Clipboard
By admin, on March 6th, 2009
Since you’ve seen my notebook, I thought you might want to see my clipboard.
We are a clipboard family when it comes to school. I keep three of them loaded with clean notebook paper at all times. They sit in our two school shelves. When I assign something, it’s easy for the kids to grab a clipboard and get started. A clipboard can be taken to any chair or table; it’s easy to work with.
But I wanted my OWN clipboard, especially for when we are all working together, like reading Hamlet, or talking about history, or discussing spelling words or grammar. I keep my clipboard with me when I am reading a bedtime story with Princess of the Universe. My clipboard is even with me when I am working.
Why?
Because constantly things pop into my mind that I want to discuss later, like the other day when I was thinking of the words ORDNANCE and ORDINANCE and wanting to see if Joe could spell them correctly. Or we’ll cover something that I think we need to go back to, but it’s not something I want to stop and research at that very minute. An example would be the Namean lion mentioned in Hamlet. I make a quick note on my clipboard and I know the idea won’t be forgotten later.
Did you see my clipboard is pink? BRIGHT pink? It cannot get mixed up with another clipboard.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
