“When the fiddle had stopped singing Laura called out softly, “What are days of auld lang syne, Pa?” “They are the days of a long time ago, Laura,” Pa said. “Go to sleep, now.” But Laura lay awake a little while, listening to Pa’s fiddle softly playing and to the lonely sound of the wind in the Big Woods. She looked at Pa sitting on the bench by the hearth, the firelight gleaming on his brown hair and beard and glistening on the honey-brown fiddle. She looked at Ma, gently rocking and knitting. She thought to herself, “This is now.” She was glad that the cosy house, and Pa and Ma and the firelight and the music, were now. They could not be forgotten, she thought, because now is now. It can never be a long time ago.” ― Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House in the Big Woods I am so thrilled to share the 10th selection in a series of Family Learning Literature Guides that I am creating. As a busy mom of three I understand how challenging it is to teach to multiple age groups and learning styles. This year as I have homeschooled, I have introduced an approach that brings together learning experiences based upon a common theme. This Unit, inspired by the world of Laura Ingalls Wilder is a month-long adventure that will plunge you and your kids head-first into the Pioneer era and help you learn the long lost arts of homemaking, survival and building a strong family culture. Alongside these themes, will be activities that focus on handwork, art, language arts and nature studies. *This file is too large for Etsy and will be emailed within 24 hours of purchasing- thanks!
How to use the practical deschool your homeschool checklist? You can use it to homeschool beyond doubt and uncertainty.
First off: NOT FOR LATIN NEWBIES! This is a very fast-paced course. If you have no previous Latin experience, you should start with another text. It’s called a Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin,…
“Fern was up at daylight, trying to rid the world of injustice. As a result, she now has a pig. A small one to be sure, but nevertheless a pig. It just shows what can happen if a person gets out of bed promptly.” ― E.B.

Drawings of meadow with trees in the background (recto), watercolour over pencil, and faint outline sketch of fields (verso), pencil, by Beatrix Potter, Long Melford, 1911, Linder Collection cat. no. LB.574
My first graders are studying Claude Monet right now! First we watched a cute video (below) to learn about the artist Then we drew the garden and the Japanese bridge with oil pastels on watercolor paper. Students had to use three different shades of green, have lily pads that begin large at the bottom of the page and get smaller as they go up the page. The lilies can be any color, detailed or blobs. We used cool colors for the water, plants, and tree reflections. I use liquid watercolors because they are the BEST!! Before each student takes their paper to the table I swipe the whole paper with a very very wet towel. Then they begin with some splotches of turquoise Then they use blue Then bits of purple, making sure to leave the top and bottom for the green Then finally add the green at the top for the trees reflecting on the water and on the bottom for the grass You can add salt for texture OPTIONAL Then finally we use a dark green watercolor marker to add some Here is the version with salt after it dried. I love how it created a green vignette around the top!
This is a fun, year round art lesson for kids inspired by the work of famous woman artist, Alma Thomas. Kids 4+ and adults will enjoy weaving colors and creating their own DIY art!
Language Arts Level 7 Course Set includes the Course Book, Course Companion, Reader, Geography & Grammar Cards, and Daily Checklist.
The girls finally got to make their wigwams. We followed the directions in the MFW teacher manual and they came out so realistic. They used cut-up cereal boxes for the frame and brown construction paper for the "shingles." After gluing on the shingles, we covered the entire outside with white glue. When they dried the girls cut smoke holes in the top. They looked and felt much like real bark and are very sturdy. Both of the girls added their own accessories. Emily made hers from clay and Katie used cardboard and paper. Very creative! Squanto, Friend of the Pilgrims really touched Katie's heart. Many nights, she wanted me to keep reading so she could hear what happened next. She was very about Squanto's family dying before he finally returned to his village. But she perked up when she learned that Squanto really helped the Pilgrims and considered them his new family. We all had a great discussion about how Squanto's life was in God's hands. Had it not been for the English keeping him as a slave and his inability to return to America, Squanto would most likely have died with the rest of his tribe long before the Pilgrims landed on American soil. Furthermore, Squanto shows us that people of diverse backgrounds can live in peace and harmony and can teach one another many useful things, even how to plant corn and catch fish! Almost Home is another great book based on the lives of those who journeyed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower. I particularly love how well the story captures living history in great detail. And the glossary in the back is helpful for some period terms that we didn't know. You may know what a coif is, but do you know what a trencher is? Hmmm... To say that Emily doesn't like English is an understatement! It's not my strong suit either. I scored well in English when I was in school, but I remember very little of it. I'm not the most versed writer and I don't have a broad vocabulary, but that doesn't stop me from writing or talking. Much is learned by just reading. Even so, I realize that there are requirements to meet and certain things should be learned, even when they seem boring and useless. So, we carry on grudgingly, trying to learn each step of the way. And I'm right there alongside Emily, learning with her. In science, we learned more about mammals. We covered monkeys, apes, elephants, leopards, whales, and other mammals similar to all those. We learned about various ways that people tried to support the theory of evolution and that all have been disproved. I'm thinking that field trip to the zoo is in order soon. :) We took Thursday off. My ladies Bible study started this week, which meets on Thursday mornings. Typically, I would require the kids to do school work during that time. But we've been working so hard and were a little ahead, so I was going to just let them play. It turned out, a lady at church needed help organizing toys in one of the children's rooms, so the girls spent most of their time doing that. We socialized afterwards and ran a couple of errands, so we didn't get home until about 3:00. On most Thursday afternoons we will do some school work, unless we go on a field trip or need to run errands. Our leader asked if Emily could help out with the little kids during Bible study, starting next week, and wants to pay her! I told her I'm fine with it and I think it will be good for her. We had a bit of excitement on Friday. I woke up super early - 6:00 AM, which is way early for me! I'm a night owl, not a morning dove. I watched a movie and dozed off for about an hour after. so we were just getting started on school around 10:30 or so. That's about the time when Katie said "why is the lid off Spotty's tank?" (Spotty is our firebelly toad.) I thought she was joking until I looked over and saw the lid sitting on the table. I asked her if the frog was inside. She looked and frantically said "no" and began crying hysterically. I added fresh water to the tank the night before and forgot to put the lid back on! Oops!!! My stomach started turning. It's amazing how huge our house seemed at that moment! I looked in every corner of the kitchen/dining area first, since that's where Spotty's tank is. No luck. We got a flashlight and started looking under all the furniture in the living room. We found other things, but not the frog. Katie was still crying so I stopped, put my hands on her shoulders, told her to calm down, and said "let's pray." In less than five minutes, the frog was spotted in the kitchen! It truly was a miracle! We all took a moment to give thanks to God for allowing us to find Spotty so quickly. Hallelujah! Linked up with Weekly Wrap-Up

If your child is studying Latin, you need to know some basics so that you can answer his questions along the way. Lesson 1 explains the five basic cases.
This is the pie for all you gooey-pie-lovers out there (and you know who you are). This apple pie slices cleanly and holds its shape as you lift it out of the pie plate. And it has chunks of apple that are tender yet intact, lightly bound in a thickened sauce that's just sweet enough, with a hint of spice.
