I know that this craft has probably been done in most preschools, but we had never done this. It was fun!

Three Names and the Prairie

Three Names


We recently rowed Three Names. I love the language in this book.

"In fall the wind came up, snapping the sheets on the clothesline dry, and the nights were crisp like apples from the root cellar."

"I wore new knickers of corduroy that whispered when I walked"

"summer was fine, full of long, warm days, and nights when the moon rose yellow."

Geography Through Literature



We are starting Beautiful Feet, Geography Through Literature, beginning with the book, Tree in the Trail. This looks like a fun way to learn geography, history, and more! I hope to have some great information to share!
