Yes, I’m aware nomads didn’t have cast iron. Thanks.

I have the PDF loaded now! I’m thinking I’m going to invest in a hard copy and now I’ll look up Dangerous Book For Boys!

If I can’t figure out a structure we can make without a tarp I definitely will use one rather than ditching the entire idea. And yes on the Perseids! I’m crossing my fingers! P.S. I love your quote!

We live really close the southern coast so no mountains for us! But I do hope we will be able to do that one day!

Thank you! I’m heading to find this!

Did anyone build a shelter with their kids when studying the nomads? I really want to do it but I’ve never built a shelter without a tarp. Anyone have any pointers? I want to break out the cast iron and cook a meal over the campfire and camp out in our shelter overnight.

I will definitely look into this! I think I could ask for tech.

Ah! Doing a craft from the story’s origin country is an idea I hadn’t considered! I could just mesh all these ideas and do a craft one week, then a science project another, or a stem idea the next. And that way if I have a week where it’s harder to get things together a craft wouldn’t be so hard to come up with.

I may be just overthinking things as usual 😂

I’m not sure this is the correct place to ask but here goes: If you had a co-op that you were a member of what class/classes would you like to see available for your child in the 5-6 year old age range? I ask because I’m a member of a co-op and I was speaking with our director about the lack of classes for this age group and I’m trying to find something I could possibly volunteer to do. Personally, I’d rather it be more than a glorified play date but I also know at this age structured time is still a bit of a challenge. I thought of doing a fairy tale and then doing a STEM project along with the story but our library also has a strong story hour so I’m not sure how much diversity that would be offering our community of children. I also considered doing an art class but I don’t have any real training in art and honestly I’m not sure what to even do/teach in an art class at their ages. I am following an artist on YouTube to teach myself to paint with acrylics and watercolors but that’s the extent of my art knowledge. Any ideas would be welcomed as I’m snowballing at the moment

Thank you for this! I had never heard of any of these so it’s a veritable gold mine of listening pleasure!

I’m just looking for homeschooling podcasts recommendations (preferably classically minded but Charlotte Mason is also my secondary bent). I’m trying to gear up to keep myself motivated and encouraged for the start of the new year so if you’ve got something you love please let me know! I do already follow The Literary Life podcast at the recommendation from someone else here.

Our street name is the name of a color 😂 and a very boring color too. Rainbow Road Academy doesn’t sound half bad but some other colors don’t sound as great

Thanks! I guess I can always do the fun one for now and when they get to high school we can always change it to something more serious. I think the only time I’ll even use it is for this K5 graduation diploma

I see what you did there 😂

No it would be a play on the last name

Hi guys, our local homeschool coop is doing a K5 graduation and I’m trying to come up with a name for our homeschool for his little diploma. I wanted to do a name that reflected educating the children As a whole but my creative juices aren’t flowing. All I have come up with is Integral Learning Homeschool but that feels a bit pretentious to me. I’d love it worded a bit differently if anyone has any ideas? or should I just go with something fun like: The School of Whit

I picked “The read aloud handbook” by Jim Trelease to start with out of these recommendations and wow! So much information! I don’t know how anyone could read it and not read to their children! Thankfully, I’m much like the author in that I have always read aloud to my children because my parents did when I was a child and so it’s more of a confirmation and encouraging book for me. I’m also glad to have the book recommendations too, of course. Thank you, again, for the recommendations!

Can I just thank you again for the podcast recommendation?! I’m binge listening now 😂

Thank you! I hadn’t heard of “I saw the angel in marble” before. It looks very interesting! I’ll check out Cindy Rollins’ website!

This one looks really good!

Anything that helps to keep the motivation stoked is well worth a read! I will check this out!

I’ve put it on my wishlist so that I can keep an eye on it!

Well, phooey! Looks like Mere Motherhood is currently under review on Kindle.

Thank you so much! I’m about to head over to the podcast and get it set up to listen to in the morning! I will for sure check out Mere Motherhood as well! I have two Karen Glass books on my audible wishlist to use my next credits on. Have you read “In vital harmony” or “Consider This”? I’m wondering which one I should get first.
