Nice How That Happens



We're back to school after a two week break for Christmas.  I love how things are coming together, too.  The Littles are enjoying a science book called "Crinkleroot's Book of Animal Tracks and Wildlife Signs". One of the first animals mentioned are beavers.  We are reading a beaver book to get to know more about them before moving on to Crinkleroot's next friend. We're also beginning our geography study on Oregon, which is known as The Beaver State.  Happily, when choosing a book to read for history, Trouble and Anna picked out "Roughing It on the Oregon Trail", not knowing what our geography study would be!  I'll probably write out a Beaver Mini-Unit with links even though we aren't really doing a mini-unit this time.
