Time Line of Life Companion Books Inspire Copywork

I am really flabbergasted about the way DJ has taken to to the Time Line of Life material. I purchased the complete set from Alison's Montessori that comes along with Companion books and Informational cards. DJ has been using the books for Copywork. DJ decided that he wanted this information in his handy notebook and the writing hasn't stopped.

He first started copying from the Paleozoic Era.

 Every now and then he would share some information from the book with me that he found really interesting.

 He pays close attention to his writing, and now Write Out is a must. DJ has to use his favorite pen as well because to him the pen writes better when your doing a lot of writing and Write Out and pens go together.
.

 For the past two days it has been all about the Eras and copying the words from the book exactly how it is written, because he doesn't want to learn the wrong information. His point of interest he has brought to my attention is that he wants his own companion books, so he is saving me money by copying the book:) Very thoughtful indeed!

 DJ tunes out everything that is going on, and he reads aloud while he writes.

 He has done Copywork of the companion books even up to bedtime. Since he is saving me money by copying this book, I chose not to distract him to tell him that he has Write Out on the couch and the lid appears to be halfway open. I am not complaining one bit!! My heart is smiling that this is something that he is enjoying doing without any solicitation from me. Learning about prehistory while writing what more could I ask for?
                                                              

  Before DJ went to bed he asked me if I had anything about the different types of Porifera, and for the very first time I was one step of him. I observed him closely while he was doing this work. It was amazing!! I watched him periodically go to the computer, I didn't say a word. When I got a chance to get to the computer he was using I browsed the history. He had been looking for Poriferas, but was only getting the definition, or being sent to one link to another. I instantly downloaded the Types of Poriferas from Montessori Print Shop and quickly laminated it so it would be ready when the time came.

I am sure you'll get to see a picture of this work in action.
