Yesterday, we went to our homeschool co-op. J and his Zombie Apocalypse class had a scavenger hunt of sorts. Posted around the little downtown were signs for different businesses, such as the library, hardware store, pharmacy, etc (we didn't go into any of the real businesses, except the health food store, as to not bother people at work and not to come into contact with any zombies!) At each "business", the children discussed what supplies they would need from there. In C's Medieval class, they sewed slippers.
After lunch and play with all our friends, we went to the battered women shelter's thrift store. I found these three books in The Enchanted Forest series (Spring, Summer and Autumn). We read them all after dinner that evening. The boys love them! I looked up the series on Amazon and found the Winter book for $.01! I'm going to order it soon to complete the set. As you can see, the illustrations are adorable!

ReplyDeleteI didn't either, but man was I excited when I found them! I'll save them for Miss Fern when the boys are done with them. Have you read the Brambly Hedge books? So sweet. And somehow I knew you would appreciate the Zombie Apocalypse class :) Blessings, love.
