What we’re reading Wednesday 📚 . . We took a break over the holiday and ate slowly reuplpadimh to our regular schedule (adding about 2 things a day til we get to our groove before the break). . . We just finished Odd and the Frost Giants as our morning family read aloud which became a bed time read aloud during the break. We’re bank to reading after breakfast and ate getting ready to start #wishtree by #katherineapplegate as part of our #buildyourlibrarylevel2 things. . . M has been reading #101awesomewomen who changed the world by #Julia Adams 🖤. I really wish I had a book like this when I was growing up! We’re on chapter 2 #womenscientists #womeninventors and I’m walking away so empowered + inspired too 🌟. Many of these women I don’t know about either and M is really loving seeing how strong girls are and how much they’ve contributed (even in the face of adversity, and #learningchallenges ). She’s become so much more motivated to continue her reading path and work hard at her own pace (#capd #dyslexia can really take a toll on a child’s self esteem but this book is really lighting up a Fire to #nevergiveup 🔥). . . I’m so grateful for it. I picked it up at #5below and reminds me of the rebel girls series. I’m planning to pick those up next at some point. This book is 4 chapters divided up by field. . . E to my surprise reread The Sign of the Beaver with Dad (!). He’s my reluctant reader fam so you know how big this is. He’s been doing his night time read aloud to Dad too just as M.. all about reading books). . . . . #whatwerereading #whatwerereadingwednesday #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolreading #homeschoolreads #homeschoollibrary #buildyourlibrary #buildyourlibrarycurriculum #byl #buildyourlibraryfamilies #relaxedhomeschool #relaxedhomeschooling #relaxedhomeschoolers https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbR5eqArHh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c4s1j79tcmrd

we started getting back into the swing of things today. We read about shooting stars or meteors... and how the very bright ones are called fireballs ☄️(we then listened to Pitbull’s song fireball because it came to mind 😂, and hey, anything that will help the information stick is a win in my book). . . We also learned one of the myths of why we kiss under the mistletoe (we hung our first fresh bunch for the first time this year, seen here). After another chapter of #oddandthefrostgiants (one of our read alouds for #buildyourlibrarylevel2 ). . . The kids finally filled out their l new year’s sheets (we try to do every year). The printable is made by #skiptomylou (she has some other wonderful printables too 🖤). . . For more info on the legend of mistletoe and a pic of what the kids mostly did for New Years.. check out my instastories. . . xo . . . . #homeschoolreadaloud #homeschoolscience #homeschool2019 #homeschooldays #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolfun #buildyourlibrary #eclectichomeschool #eclectichomeschoolers #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolprintables #relaxedhomeschooling #secularhomeschooling #homeschoolcandids #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolmama #homeschoolinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJbXtaAgQH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kr8h08jn31l4

What we’ve been reading lately. . . We’re nearly finished with #thesilverballoon by #susanbonners and getting ready to read #oddandthefrostgiants by #neilgaiman (Viking inspired 🖤). . . We learned about Norway, Normandy, and the migration patterns they took to North America this week in #sotwvol2 . E’s friend from TN was over for a visit so of course we gave him a map sheet 🗺so he could join in on the fun too. . . I had 2 Viking Books from US unit in 2nd grade so of course we brought those out and read them too (so glad I hung onto them!). . . In science we are finishing our reading of the planets (currently on Saturn), and we really enjoyed reading more about Gallileo and his contributions (and the work he built upon) in #igalileo by #bonniechristensen . The maps of how the solar system was viewed then were great to look at and do some compare/contrasting with today’s model. . . . . #buildyourlibraryfamilies #byl #buildyourlibrarylevel2 #homeschoolhistory #homeschoolgeography #homeschoolscience #homeschoolbooks #homeschoollivingbooks #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolmom #homeschool #homeschooling #homeschoolers #buildyourlibrary #buildyourlibrarycurriculum #byl2 #homeschool #homeschooldays #homeschooler #learningandlore https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDgSzeAhde/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1knm37qb0x5e6

We’re more than half way through #idab now 🌲! Im also nearing the end of #raisingcandokids and was so pleasantly surprised by this book! It does a wonderful job of presenting lots of research in an easy to read manner, all the while embedding entrepreneurial anecdotes. It was a gem of a find at the dollar store. . . . . . #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolmombooks #homeschoolingbooks #mombooks #parentingbooks #childhooddevelopmentbooks #readaloudrevival #childrensliterature #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolreading #homeschoolfamilybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQO3GYA5J-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10lsszma1lg76

We are loving the book #idab by #katherinehannigan its written in a different style compared to Trumpet of the Swan (our last book), which took some getting used to for the first few chapters. However, to my surprise the kids have been yelling “one more chpt!” for almost every sitting so far. It’s one of those books you just can’t put down! 🌟 . . This quote right here spoke to my mama heart so much too when I read it.. I think so many children wish we understood this - when they’re so desperately trying to tell us something or interject their own commentary among adults.. Sadly it seldom gets understood this way. A few years ago my babes got into the habit of holding my hand if they had to tell me something but nowadays it’s less common and they just whisper in my ear what they want to say, or patiently wait (these are one of those things that start manifesting as they get older). Either way this is a great reminder for me that most of the time what my kids have to say trumps whatever the feelings or perceptions are - of the adult I’m chatting with has. 🖤 . . The book is really also showing my babes one of the reasons why we loosely do things like math, reading, writing in a relaxed yet rhythmic way vs. radically unschooling..we take things year by year and always consider unknowns like the ones Ida’s family is traversing (such a difficult season). It’s also re-connecting us to all of the reasons why we love #homeschooling and what a privilege, freedom, and advantage it is 🦋🌲. . . It’s a beautiful #homeschoolfamly book and a tear jerker for sure so if you haven’t read it yet, please do! Just keep some tissues handy nearby.. . . . . xo . . . . . #buildyourlibrarylevel2 #buildyourlibrarycurriculum #buildyourlibrary #byl #bylfamilies #readaloudrevival #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolreadaloud #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolchapterbooks #homeschoolreading #homeschoolquotes #homeschoolkids #homeschoolfiction #homeschoolstories #homeschoolers #homeschoolcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNcUJVgbND/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s3g6ly7uz7wr

Us too Louie, us too 🕊🖤. . . We’re finishing up #trumpetoftheswan today by #ebwhite . I’ve never read this one and so not surprisingly - it’s touched me so so much! In this quote he’s responding to the decision of whether or not to remain in the Philly zoo or return to the uncertain but free, explorative, rich life of a wild swan (even if it’s not free if it’s risks and dangers..). I resonated with this so much because #homeschooling (and things like starting a business, breaking away from conventional forms of spirituality etc) have required that same spirit of wanting to experience freedom and life by our own terms. . . If you haven’t read this one yet I highly recommend it. We’ve also read #charlottesweb and #stuartlittle aloud and this by far our favorite. . . . . xo . . . . #readaloud #readaloudrevival #readaloudfamily #readalouds #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolreads #homeschoolreading #homeschoolreadaloud #readaloudrevival #readaloudbooks #homeschoolingthroughliterature #homeschoolingwithliterature #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolstorytime #bedtimestories #bylfamilies #buildyourlibrarylevel2 #buildyourlibrary #buildyourlibrarycurriculum #homeschoolfreedom #homeschoolfreedoms https://www.instagram.com/p/BppDVmLAOv1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qra2r2jy1yct
