Teaching science in the early years of homeschool education is through observing the natural world around us. Reading Nature Lore is a gentle way that helps children know what to look for and nurtures their curiosity about our natural world through engaging stories. "Among the Meadow People" by Clara Dillingham Pierson is another delightful collection of children's stories in her collection. The stories anthropomorphize various meadow creatures, such as insects and small animals, giving them personalities and life lessons. Each story conveys moral values and insights through the interactions and experiences of these creatures. Key themes and stories include: The Butterfly That Went Calling: A butterfly learns about responsibility and caring for others as she interacts with different meadow inhabitants while trying to find a safe place to lay her eggs. The Lazy Snail: This story teaches the value of hard work and the pitfalls of laziness through the journey of a snail who avoids responsibilities but eventually learns the satisfaction of doing his part. The Grasshopper and the Ants: A classic tale retold with meadow creatures, emphasizing the importance of preparation and foresight as the grasshopper learns from the industrious ants who prepare for winter. The Caterpillar Who Wanted to Fly: This story shows the importance of patience and perseverance as a caterpillar eagerly awaits his transformation into a butterfly. The Discontented Crickets: Two crickets who are unhappy with their lives discover that contentment comes from within and that every creature has its own unique role and purpose. Each story is set in a beautifully depicted meadow, bringing to life the small world of insects and other tiny creatures. Through engaging narratives, children learn about virtues such as responsibility, hard work, preparation, patience, and contentment. The adventures and interactions of the meadow people are both entertaining and educational, offering valuable lessons that resonate with readers of all ages. This companion was written for Form I students, or 1st-3rd grade. The instructions are effortless! Each chapter will take a few days to read. For each day that you read, introduce one of the "Riches." A suggested schedule would be: Day 1, Scripture. Day 2, Poetry. Day 3, Picture Study. Day 4, Music Appreciation. Children will learn about creation and be exposed to classical art, music, and poetry all in one subject. Optionally, you can have the children memorize the scripture, and use a portion of poetry for copywork. You can use this companion alone, or look for opportunities to dig deeper when reading about weather terms and challenging vocabulary. *This is a PDF Product. No physical item will be mailed to you.

These first grade cupcakes were inspired by the American painter Wayne Thiebaud (pronounced TEE-bow). He creates paintings of fun things from everyday life, such as cakes, pies, ice cream, hot dogs and gumball machines. Students learned that his art can be labeled realism because it looks real. After learning about Wayne Thiebaud, students created their own yummy artwork of a cupcake. Students cut, glued, ripped and painted paper while creating these masterpieces! First graders also had to show an understanding what a pattern is while they decorated the bottom of their cupcakes. Way to go young artists! These scrumptious cupcakes are beautifully decorated just as if seen in an upscale bakery shop!
