Literature Fun-- Little House in the Big Woods

 While using our Latter-Day Learning curriculum, we have spent a two week period reading and discussing Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder.  Through this wonderful story we have discussed how Laura learned--thus we learn too--how to:
---How to create strong families
---Work and wholesome recreational activities
---Importance of celebrations and traditions
---Cooperation
---A wonderful Bad Day....it's all up to us, we choose how to look at the day's events!
---Obedience
---Life Skills
---and of course, we covered various Literary Elements!

 

 To end our literature unit we had a celebration!  We made vinegar pie (and just to make sure we would have something to eat that we actually liked, we made a lemon pie too).
We also made farmers cheese, which turned out to be quite delicious!!  We served that with warm homemade bread.  To bring light to our table we made tin can lanterns using empty soup cans. We invited the Walkers over to share in our celebration!  Yea for a wonderful couple of weeks.  Our next literature fun will be with Bambi.
