Description
Class Experience
Students will demonstrate active listening skills by answering comprehension questions about the story. Students will become familiar with literary terms: setting, title, author, illustrator, characters. Students will compare and contrast pioneer life in the 1800's with our lives today. Students will engage in conversation with teacher and peers while gaining exposure to American history and pioneer life. Students will develop a foundation for the Little House on the Prairie series of full-length books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Students can volunteer to read aloud from their copy of the storybook. (Optional)
This class does not include homework.

30 minutes per week in class, and no time outside of class.
One photo includes Pa carrying a rifle to hunt for wild game. When discussing this picture, I will include that the safe use of guns is very important, and likely why young children did not accompany adults on hunts. If the topic of racism toward Native Americans comes up, I will teach that discrimination toward Native Americans in the 1800's does not align with how we view people of differing background today. We will discuss encouraging ways to appreciate all of the different people groups in our world.
