I really appreciate them. Someone told me once to praise/critize with the 'Oreo' approach - to praise on either side of a negative comment. I always thought that was a good idea but it's great to 'see' how you put it to practical use as it sounds like that it pretty much what you do only MUCH better! :) I have just given my daughter her next project which she seems excited about. She is creating her own country with its own maps, food, clothes etc. I'm telling you this to let you know that we are finally both having fun together and learning! We look forward every day to getting to our unit. I'm sold on unit studies!! :) Cindy, Thank you soooo much for your suggestions! I really appreciate them.

I particularly like that you included a sample conversation giving some constructive criticism to your children. Samantha Thank you for a well-written and very helpful post.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!! I'm curious where you come up with different project ideas for your kids. I'm trying to come up with some different ideas for my kids, and always seem to stop at report, poster, and diarama. Any suggestions to where I could find more ideas? For example, we're going to be working on the Renaissance in the next few weeks. I've been racking my brain trying to think of ideas. I need an idea book I think! Wonderful again!!
