Today I will start reading 'Children of the Longhouse' by Joseph Bruchac.
I will also get out the kids' timelines so they can see the order of time in which these books take place. I have gone a bit out of order. That's ok. We are enjoying the reading anyway. ~smile~
The girls were already outside playing in the new snow and Tom shoveled our walks, next door, and the walks across the street. The owners will be surprised that is was all done for them. ~smile~
Have a good day.

I finished reading 'The Sign of the Beaver' today. This book showed us the difference in the lives of an Indian boy and "white" boy.
We talked about why Matt would not go with Attean and also what it would be like if his parents never came and he was at the cabin alone. We also talked about how Attean got Matt ready to be on his own because without him Matt could have died.
Afterward, Ana colored in some picture crafts of Native American Indians from Scholastic books. Katie seemed to be deep in thought. :)

I am almost done reading 'The Sign of the Beaver'. The kids have enjoyed this as have I. It really makes you think about how kids many, many years ago were left alone in the wilderness and now we can't even leave a 13 year old home alone. If something were to happen, you can be arrested for neglect.
Many years ago the kids learned how to cook, clean, hunt, work, etc. Now kids only want to sit on their rear ends and watch tv or play video games.
Our kids are that way also. But, we have made them help others or go out and work. For instance; Becca has been making money shoveling (at an adult apartment complex) when it snows. She has, a few times, not accepted money or been given candy, and hot tea. (she laughs at this) But, the older people that she does this for seem to really like her and care for her. They are slowly getting to know Tom. They have had our older boys shovel for them also (the boys started this little business ~smile~).
Becca also helps out a neighbor by watching their home and cats when need be.
She is now at my parent's house for up to a week. My mom had knee surgery so Becca went to help with the Therapy and just be around to help with everything else.
Becca has been studying for her last EMT test. She didn't pass it the first time but I think she is determined to get this done. She is excellent at the "hands-on" but when it comes to paper tests forget it. She loves being on the ambulance and I think she is missing it and missing the people.
School is starting to get better here. It seems that when January comes around our days are better for schoolwork to get done. Maybe it is because of the cold weather, the longer days and we have to stay inside more.
Don't forget to read up on Noah's blog (right sidebar). He is back in the hospital.
Have a good night.

Today is a rainy, icy, snowy day. The girls are getting over colds/coughs and I believe Katie is losing her voice. That is really not a bad thing. ~smile~
They have been working on a few crafts. First they finished coloring the people from the "Time Travelers: Colonial Life crafts; www.homeschoolinthewoods.com . I have to finish putting them on the transparent paper. They did theirs a little different. They are making them into books.
Katie is making a big tree with cutout leaves and animals. Ana is making an ocean mural from www.learningpage.com . When they are done I will post them on the Loving Lapbook Blog.
I'll write later. One little girl is not behaving herself today ("A").
