Club de lectura - La pequeña casa nº 1 - La pequeña casa en el gran bosque

Travel back in time to the year 1872 and the Big Woods of Wisconsin, a time without electricity, indoor plumbing, or automobiles. We’ll meet Laura and her family, as she gives us a glimpse into her childhood from her very own words. 

In this multi-day class, we will meet once weekly for four weeks to dive deep into this first book in the Little House series. Students will be required to read three chapters a week BEFORE class time, and come to class ready to discuss those chapters. During class time, full participation in class discussion is expected. Each student will have a turn to share their thoughts and ideas. After discussion, I will introduce our activity for that day. We will play games Laura would have played, listen to songs Pa sang and played on his fiddle, see examples of the crafts or handwork Laura may have done, and discuss recipes of foods Laura Laura would have enjoyed. Each week, we will learn about a different aspect of pioneer life. Throughout the time, we will learn about the geography of the area, the weather conditions, historical facts and current events for the time period in question. 

Please read chapters 1-3 BEFORE class! 
Please read chapters 4-6 BEFORE class! 
Please read chapters 7-9 BEFORE class! 
Please read chapters 10-13 BEFORE class! 

Any printables needed for class will be made available in advance. Recipes will be provided a week in advance, if your student would like to make the treat to enjoy in class, but it is not required they do so.
