Prairie Parties: Little House on the Prairie Series Hands-On Book Club (St. Therese Session E 1:50 p.m.) 1st-5th, $100/Semester
Open a door for your child to the 1800’s world of the homesteader on the American frontier.
Discover that Pa and Caroline were married in the year Abraham Lincoln was elected president. Understand why men moved their families to the frontier. Learn how common diseases of the day had life-changing effects on even the isolated homes of the prairie. See how the U.S. government’s Indian policies affected homesteaders.
Through our study, we’ll learn history, science, literature, and music. We’ll also explore geography, writing, health, nutrition, Bible, character building, life application and more through hands-on activities, games, crafts, video clips, and discussion. We’ll play games, do crafts and explore as many activities of the time as we can fit in.
In addition to reading through the greater portion of the Little House series, students will be assigned a topic each week to research and “teach the class”. It will be things and events from the reading that week. Parents are welcome to participate in class with us.
Older students are welcome to sign up and engage with us, understanding the academics are geared to the stated age range. Younger siblings are welcome to sign up if accompanied by a parent to help out.
This class is ungraded.
