Work is something we all do, whether it’s chores, apprenticeships, or jobs (e.g., mowing grass, old jobs for neighbors, or babysitting siblings). Every child should have something to do that helps them develop their work ethic before they are old enough to work.

Letter W
Work is part of life. We all have to do it. One of the ways Aiden works is by building with his grandmother. She’s very spatial like Aiden, so when there’s a project to make they’re building it together. He’s built workbenches, bookcases, tables, stools, garden boxes, and toys. Working with his hand is fun for him. It’s a great excuse to use power tools and he’s pretty good at it.
The letter W is the twenty-third letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks worm, water, and will when he’s asked for a W words.
A w sounds like whua.

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.
