Twins?

Posted in Books
Only two years apart! (ha!ha!)
Meet Miss who has read most everywhere,
from Beach Shore to Library Square.
 But Mister who has only read... 
after dark and in his bed.
One reads fiction and the other non fiction.
(I'm a non fiction reader myself.)
But, I would like Mister to read more books with stories from cover to cover.
Miss is here to help!
She picked up my book by the Bluedorns...
and picked out...
A Series of Unfortunate Events #1 The Bad Beginning
They laugh alike, they walk alike, at times they even talk alike.
and NOW they even read alike!
Thanks Miss!

Natural History with Jean Henri Fabre

Posted in Books
I was first introduced to Jean Henri Fabre thru
Ambleside.  
The Storybook of Science
The wonders of plant and animal life told with rare literary charm by Uncle Paul in conversations with three children. Besides such stories as the ants' subterranean city, the spider's suspension bridge, and the caterpillars' processing, he unlocks the mystery behind thunder and lightning, clouds and rain, the year and its seasons, and volcanoes and earthquakes.
Read this with your kids...
they'll love it!
Jean Henri Fabre was a French entomologist and author
who was passionate about his work.
Here is Jean Henri Fabre's E Museum where you can find out more.
Children of Summer by Margaret J. Anderson
Henri Fabre (1823-1915) was a famous explorer yet he seldom left his own backyard.
he spent his whole life discovering the secrets of the insect world.
His home and its surroundings served as his laboratory. his lab assistants were his wife and children. The entire family shared his passion for insects, especially his youngest son, Paul.

Last Child

Posted in Books
Remember Rock Mountain from a
previous post?
The kids have been coming to play and check out the rock hill daily.
(It will be gone soon and this lot will be paved.)
A passerby informed us,
 that he thought some teens must have been performing some kind of ritualistic , evil ceremony
here, because of the rock circle that looked like a bad omen to him.
It's funny...that gets assumed before it is assumed that it is just kids playing!
I'm reading an interesting book:
My kids love being outside and I enjoy time out with them,
I've come to believe it's not only benificial to children, but crucial.
One easy way to get started is with The Heart of Harmony Green Hour Challenge.

Uncle Eric Books

Posted in Books
   
Uncle Eric Books by Richard Maybury  
These are written for age 10 and up.
I've been reading them myself.
There are many more that I look forward to reading.
My library presently has these three, but will be attaining more,
 since I have requested that they purchase them.
(You do know that you can request library purchases...right?!)
You will read these laws continually throughout his books.

Books and the Library

Posted in Books
 
We go to the library often...
I mean it! Almost daily!
One reason is, that it is less than a 1/2 mile away. 
We like to walk and ride our bikes.
 The other reason is that our 'Charlotte's Field' is there,
another reason...we love books!
I order books (and movies) online throughout the system.
Today we went to a different library that we don't go to as often.
It is 7.1 miles from home.
 We have another library that is 4.8 miles from our home.
Another one is 8.4 miles away!  We've been to seven of the eighteen libraries in our county.
It's cheap entertainment!
I highly recommend the library to everyone!
    
Home with their treaures!
Here's something fun...find out your city's Walk Score. Mine is a 43.

Teaching the Trivium

How can you give your children the tools they need to teach themselves? Long ago students were first taught how to learn. Today, students are taught an encyclopedia of subjects – trivia – but they are not taught the basic skills of learning: to discover, to reason, and to apply.
