I can't imagine a normal school curriculum giving as much time to those two authors as we did. I'm glad it brought back lovely memories.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-41728447577706014362014-06-06T04:17:48.267-07:002014-06-06T04:17:48.267-07:00When I homeschool my childrren back in the 80s we ...When I homeschool my childrren back in the 80s we discovered the Little House series. We even got the cookbook and made some of the food. Although my two oldest were boys they enjoyed the series. Our friend who was an uncle to our kids would visit every weekend and read All Creature Great and Small to the family. (We had no TV during our home schooling years,) He even purchased the picture books for the kids features some of those stories. Autobiographies wonderfully bring history to life and give the reader a feeling of time and place. Reading those books together was a bonding experience. We went on to read many biographies as a family. Thanks for remindnig me of a sweet time with my children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-14251947628254649822014-06-06T02:36:32.678-07:002014-06-06T02:36:32.678-07:00That's fantastic, Jenn.
