Today we did a lot of research on Laura Ingals Wilder. We discussed historical fiction, they both understood what historical fiction was already. We discussed setting, and how the setting is similar to Sarah plain and tall. We went to the wilder museum we page and learned a lot about Laura's family. Genevieve has already read many little house in the prairie books, so she was able to tell us who all the main characters. We researched what Laura's life was really like, and discussed the books are based on her memories.
Our first assignment was recalling our first memmory and writting a paragraph about it.
Just when we were finishing this up my parents stopped by for a visit. It was just after 10. We had a visit until about 11:30, I then had to make lunch to eat before hockey.
Hockey was played and then to cheer it was. After Rebecca sent me on a wild boat chase, and we came home to bed :)
Gigi was reading jane eyre tonight and got scared, she crawled into bed and we discused the book. It was of course mr rochesters wife who scared her. We discussed the fact that she was not herself and had a mental disability. We had a good discussion and she felt better until daddy came to bed, and she didn't want to go to bed.
I was able to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder house in person - very interesting lady! Hope that Math is going more smoothly...
