We actually got a head start on our squirrel-y learning yesterday! And 2 of the books that we read were SO good that I wanted to share them. Again. This first book is called Earl the Squirrel. It is written by Don Freeman, who also wrote Corduroy. Though I had never read about Earl the Squirrel, I figured if the author of Corduroy wrote it, then we couldn’t go wrong! This is such a cute story! And the illustrations brought back such fond memories…as they look similar to the Corduory ... Read More about Starting our Squirrel unit
Homemade Pot-pourri
We started this project when we read about Paul Revere and colonial times. We learned how to make pot-pourri the colonial way!

The girls learned what an “inventor” was ... Read More about Our week with Paul Revere & Ben Franklin

A few books we are using A few links, activities and printables: There is ... Read More about A Squirrel Unit
Overheard
This is one of those conversations that made my heart melt…and pound at the same time! I didn’t quite know how to respond to my 3 year old boy. One night before bed this is what Caleb said to me… Mommy: night night, Caleb. I love you! Caleb: Mommy, what is love? Mommy: ummmmmm, welllll….ummm. Caleb: No mommy, what is love? Mommy: well, I love you means I care about you, you are very important to me, you are very special to me…(obviously floundering for words here!) Caleb: but what does “love ...
