Trash Car

At Hillstomp Homeschool, no one is exactly crazy about writing yet. But here is something both Max and Ella sunk their souls into - the design of a trash-fueled car. During one of long gasoline-fueled drives to and from town, I heard Max waxing philosophic about a trash car. So, the next day, during writing time, I suggested they write about a trash car. The rest is Hillstomp Homeschool History. They asked to write about their cars for the next three days. Can I get a yee-haw for self-directed learning! I had to enforce some editing which was not met with as much enthusiasm. Yee-hip…..
