I am working on updating and rearranging my sidebars to include our favorite curriculum picks and things we love to fill our home with. The Prairie Home is finished and the math has begun. Over the next few weeks I hope to have it all uploaded.
The Prairie Home Picks include things we own or collect, namely my Blue Willow dishes. Nothing says country and heritage and warmth to me like Blue Willow on a crochet tablecloth. : ) Guess that is the midwest childhood in me. I was very pleased to find an inexpensive source for sets. Allen will see this on my wishlist lol! The image uploaded here is from our China unit this summer. The girls and their friends each got a paper plate and blue marker. After reading the Blue Willow legend they proceeded to create their own.
The curriculum picks will be largely self teaching and inexpensive as well as limited to things I have actually used over the yrs. I am so glad I am a pack rat in that sense because so many books that I bought and shelved are now standbys in our program. I think life was overwhelming when we first began with the medical issues and constant moves. In looking back over these books I would come to find they were delightful and incorporated them into our days. Not ALL of them at any one time mind you. Each year we have subjects that are more notebook based and a few that we hit with worktexts.
