We set the timer for three minutes and wrote whatever came to mind. We had a great time with stickers and markers. We spent some time decorating our journals on our first Friday. Our other BraveWriter essential is FreeWrite Friday. In fact, for three weeks we have had Teatime after dinner so that Daddy could be included! We are pretty flexible with the timing and the eats. I am the only one)Īll in all, this has been a favorite part of our year. We drank lemonade when the weather was nice and now that the weather has turned cooler, we drink hot chocolate with Redi-Whip! YUM!

There are times we even enjoy random stuff out of the pantry. We read various poetry books as we enjoy our treats and sometimes the kids bring their own poetry journals to share. Notice the new cute dishes from Target clearance AND the two tiered plate! One week my oldest daughter, K (age 11), laid out a lovely table for us. Our Teatime looks a little different each time, depending on my prep time and energy level and our schedule. My four year old wakes up on random mornings and asks, “Is it Tuesday?”. We have NOT missed a Tuesday Teatime this year.

Though I do admit that I might have purchased a pack of sharpie markers for myself because I might just be a bit obsessed with them.īut other than the sharpies, our only school supply this year was this lovely set of mugs.Īnd not one student was disappointed with only one school supply! Because shortly after revealing it, I explained what was soon to become our new tradition of Tea Time Tuesday as part our new BraveWriter lifestyle. We did not need any more pens, pencils, notebooks, and such. We did not have our traditional scavenger hunt for school supplies this year. We still implement a Brave Writer lifestyle in our homeschool and it is a delight to look back at our enthusiastic beginnings and realize that my enthusiasm has only grown since then! This third and final post records the beginning of Freewriting and Teatime in our home. The first two posts recorded my discovery of Brave Writer and our plan for implementation. This is the final post in a series from my former blog, originally published in 2013.
