When I share children’s books with learning ideas, they are often of the fiction or non-fiction variety. However today, I have a wonderful reference or resource-type book to share with you. Non-fiction, fiction, short stories, chapter books, poetry…they all are important to read! Today’s book, Daily Life at the Time of Jesus, is a non-fiction …
One of the many joys of having multiple children is the opportunity to read books over and over. Wild About Books is one of those delightful reads that never grows old. My oldest boy – now 15 – received this book from my parents when he was 3 years old. If I had to estimate, …
I have another fascinating book to share with you today: Sea Clocks: The Story of Longitude. For many years, my children and I used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. While it can be a bit difficult to wrap your brain around, Tapestry offers a wide selection of books for grades K through 12th. Most of …
Several years ago, my children and I rowed through Warm as Wool by Scott Russell Sanders during our Five in a Row days. I loved Five in a Row and its gentle way of learning, especially if you have mostly young children. While my children seem to remember only a few of our activities (sadly!), the …
I originally wrote this post when my girls were 8, 6, and 5, so please keep that in mind as you read my recommendation! They are much older now, so this would only be appealing to my current 4th grader. It would be a very easy read for her. Today’s book – The Cool Story …
We finally had a bit of measurable snow here in North Carolina! Even though it was too wet and muddy to play in, it sure was beautiful. Like a few other topics, we tend to read about snow each and every year since we enjoy learning about it. And you can’t enjoy learning about snow …
Today’s book selection is one so dear to my heart. It is is nothing but sheer delight: Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. A couple of years ago, my Daddy gave me this book for Christmas because he thought I would like it. How sweet is that? Even now, when he and I are talking …
Today I am sharing the book is A New Coat for Anna – a perfect book for this wintry time of year. We have read this book so many times throughout the years, and it’s especially perfect for the wintry months of December and January. I originally found this classic when I rowed many books …
March On! The Day My Brother Martin Changed the World by Christine King Farris is a book we own and read each year. When all of my children were in elementary and/or preschool, we studied Dr. King each year. You’ll find the resources we used here: Martin Luther King, Jr. Unit Study Resources with Free …
I am so excited to share Alexander with you today. We have read this hilarious book by Judith Viorst a multitude of times throughout my 15 years of being a mother. I am not sure that you could have a list of most beloved children’s books and not have a book about Alexander. He has …
The book I’m sharing today – The Secret Garden – is a long-time favorite of ours. In fact, it’s on my Favorite Read Aloud List because it is just magnificent! My children and I have read this aloud a couple of times, and it’s a classic for all ages. I read it when we had …
