Okay, so I have someone buying our boxed curriculum on Friday (a bit sooner than I expected) and we’re starting our one room schoolhouse in January!
We’re doing Truthquest History and I have 106 Days of Creation for science, but I wanted to first give a jumpstart to my dd8 who has had the life and love of learning sucked out of her by the said boxed curriculum. I am hoping to do a semi “unit” study for all the kids on horses for science before starting 106 days. Do any of you have any ideas of good horse books for kids ages 4, 6 and 8 (2 girls, one boy, all horse fans)? Beautiful Feet has some great horse books to choose from: http://www.bfbooks.com/Books/Horse
Yes, the 3-book series of Misty is just right for an 8 yr. old. Then BLack Beauty and Black Stallion and Henry’s other horse stories as well. My dd really enjoys her Album of Horses, too. For the younger ones, Big Black Horse; it is the authors own adaptation of his own book the Black Stallion. This one was my dd first horse book and she will not part with it at age 9 1/2!
Also, Dover has a wonderful collection of horse coloring books. Plus, they’re having a very good sale.
For movies, the new Black Beauty is excellent but it’s too dramatic for your younger ones. However, they could all enjoy the Elizabeth Taylor movie National Velvet from 1944; based on the book of the same title. You can probably find it at your library and if you have Netflix, get it there.
I am very happy for you and you choosing this path of living and learning; especially with as young as yours are. Your 8 yr. old will soon recuperate and come alive again!
HTH, Rachel
Ah, I remember when I sold our three grades of boxed curriculum that I bought brand new (abeka), used three weeks, and sold for half what I paid for. It was a good day! haha.
Hi Heather,I have a week long unit study on Horses(by Sarah C Julicker,DVM) that I never used.I would be glad to send it to you if you would like it:) Wendy
