This year, J and I are embarking on a new adventure - a life on the prairie:) We are using the Prairie Primer as our guide and The Little House books as our maps. We finished The Little House in the Big Woods and we are now reading The Little House on the Prairie. Please forgive the jammies - the kids wanted a jammie day. One of the many perks of being homeschooled!
After reading the chapter, J wrote on her notebook page what she learned. She usually dictates it to me and then, she copies it from the mini white board.
She looked up some key verses that pertained to what we learned in the chapter. She highlighted them and copied her favorites on the notebook sheet.
The Little House on the Prairie talks about how the Ingall's family moved from their family home, packed up everything they could in their wagon, and headed west (of sorts). The wagon's dimensions were 10 feet by ____. We measured it out on the floor, added the bench for Pa and Ma and I had J lie down to get an idea of just how much room they had. Not so much, if you think that they had to carry food, supplies, tools and such. If kinda reminded me of when we moved overseas....we only had a few suitcases.
Kaleb joined us and they headed out West:)
Because of the wagon trip, J decided she wanted to make a covered wagon using popsicle sticks and a ton of glue. We will see how it turns out. See you soon.
