Copywork: ‘Character and Reputation’ Quote by Abraham Lincoln

We talk about character on a daily basis in our house – sometimes hourly!

I have been known to stop school many, many times to deal with character.  Honestly, making sure my children have good character is way more important to me than my children knowing math facts or how to diagram a sentence.

This quote by Abraham Lincoln is just perfect for my oldest to practice writing.

Quote: “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.  The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.” -Abraham Lincoln
