Do you find yourself wishing you could grasp more natural teaching moments with your child? Do you have a child who resists anything contrived or in workbook form? Do you love unit studies, but have a hard time working in the nitty gritty details of grammar? Are you a Charlotte Mason or Ruth Beechick family who wants to get more out of copywork? Are you an unschooling or eclectic-learning family that wants to introduce small snippets of grammar into normal life? We are two moms who created this website for our own use, but would love to share it with others who are in the same boat. Dig in, explore, and let us know what you think!

Capitalization 7 - Seasons

Seasons are not capitalized; the exception to this rule is when the season is personified.  

Example: 
My favorite time to swim is summer.
The leaves were touched by Autumn's hand.


Copywork Ideas (younger):
  • Frog and Toad

Copywork Ideas (older):

Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed The speculating rooks at their nests cawedAnd saw from elm tops, delicate as flower of grass,What we below could not see, Winter pass.(Edward Thomas)
