Kids' Book Club - Farmer Boy

We hosted book club for the month of March. Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder was a great look back in time! We stepped back thru the years to study candle dipping, weaving, farm animals as resources, and even had a lesson on displacement using popcorn and milk. Clare brought apples and onions, which are Almanzo Wilder's favorite food, to serve with popcorn and apple cider... what a great afternoon! So blessed to be part of this caring, supportive community!

 You can fill a glass of milk

with an equal sized glass of popcorn and it will

NOT displace the milk...

Who Knew!

 

Candle dipping

Candles firming up!

The kids were able to list resources we gain from our animals

as we visited each of the one.... cows,

pigs, horses and chickens.

 

Weaving!

Almanzo's favorite food... apples and onions

 

Popcorn was a common snack for the

Wilder family. Of course without

microwaves, they popped it on

an open fire.

Dressed for the occasion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tadpoles

Tadpoles and metamorphosis 

Sunday school

The kids learning about pressure from a wet paper towel and stones. Learning about another type of pressure too, temptation. The paper towel never did break and Jesus didn't give into temptation either...
