i thought i'd share some of the living books, that we've been using last week and this week. most came from the library.. others came from thrift shops.

i confess, we're not a poetry kind of family. but, i do think it's important to at least introduce and at least "try." that said, i found a beautiful picture book about walt whitman. it has been wonderful for history... touches on abraham lincoln and the civil war.. plus there are plenty of poems in the back-- which tommie's used for copywork.

another book that has been leading us on tons of rabbit trails, is the book, "on this day." found at a thrift shop for a dollar. it's a day by day look on historical events that happened hundreds of years ago... to present. it led us to the berlin wall today. and tomorrow, will take us to sotherby's auction house to view van goh's iris' painting.

science has never been more fun... then with living books. maybe it's because i'm not very smart in this area... and the children's books are on my level!
