Books & Focus: In Spring Term we’ll be reading The Long Winter* and Little Town in the Prairie* by Laura Ingalls Wilder (see below), discussing the stories during class and doing projects related to this book in between classes.

Description: In this class we’ll continue working our way through the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. New students are more than welcome to jump in as we begin the sixth book. Having read at least Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie in advance is recommended but not required. This class will be both fun and rich with opportunities to dive deeper into and learn more about the content. Ingalls’ books are some of my very favorite children's books. They are “living books” full of wonderful characters that were real people. This class will be great for early and accomplished readers, and any children who are a fan of the classic Little House books, historical fiction, classic literature, and fun homework assignments building life skills. This will be a wonderful class! Projects and discussion will focus on the story of Laura’s life, as well as how people lived during her lifetime. We will also cover topics such as skills people were often proficient at when the author was alive (e.g. sewing, baking, cooking, farming and fishing).

Homework: This class with have moderate homework including…

• Reading for the week (basing off the audiobook, it’s approximately 2 hours worth per week)

• Writing assignments

• Projects to pick from (such as crafting, cooking, and research projects)
