Quiet is a skill. I know I need to cultivate it in my son. Either his legs are moving or his mouth is running a mile a minute. His goal is to be the loudest all the time.

Letter Q
As a deeply introverted person, my favorite time is quiet time. Sometimes it’s early in the morning other times it’s late at night. Either way, it helps me recharge. Although my son is a deeply extroverted person, I know he needs peace and quiet too. Although, he’d never admit it.
He sneaks upstairs to his bed with a good book or his tablet. He needs a little alone time. Sometimes he slips away into his imagination with his legos or matchbox cars.
The letter Q is the seventeenth letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks quilt, quarter, and quest when he’s asked for a Q words.
A q sounds like qua.

As a homeschooling mom, I know one of the homeschool essentials is a good-quality printer with cheap ink. Make sure you look at the cost of the ink before you buy. The printer price isn’t the price to worry about. We have an old one we bought about 10 years ago. Totally worth it. It doesn’t even have to have both print cartilages to print.
