Read-Aloud ...

Posted in Curriculum Choices

It has been three months since I've posted anything to my blog.  It's so difficult for our family to motivate ourselves at this time of year.  Though we love Wisconsin and all it's beauty, we simply are not "winter sports" type of people.  We hole up in the house and wait for the Spring thaw.

We have been reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's Farmer Boy aloud in the last few weeks.  All of the children are enjoying it, but particularly our three year old son.  It is his job to bring the book to me and he insists on sitting on my lap.  Often his little sister wants to battle him for the position.

The children want to plant fields and gardens as described in the book.  Our tiny lot here in town isn't going to accomodate their plans, I'm afraid.

What have you been reading aloud lately?  We need some inspiration for our next choice.

Well, our latest read alouds have been a bit heavy for the younger set:

Sign of the Beaver - Speare
Call of the Wild - London
The Far-Off Land - Caudill (had to preread & edit out a LOT)

It's my 9yodd's turn to pick the family read aloud this week so hopefully it'll be something lighter! Hmmm... maybe I can talk her into Old Fashioned Girl or Jo's Boys by Alcott...
