Read alouds are an integral part of our homeschool.
It seems that a read aloud is ALWAYS a good investment of time, and everyone wants to snuggle up for a good story.
Even now that my oldest is in 7th grade, she still BEGS for read aloud time.
With our most recent read aloud I started something new that worked wonderfully - a read aloud door.

A few weeks ago we had a gentle introduction to Shakespeare.
We continue now with a read aloud to learn more about Shakespeare and the Elizabethan England.
We are lingering in this era because there is so much to be learned, so much to be savored. I love homeschooling for this reason. We can PAUSE and soak in the beauty.

Thanksgiving made me stop and consider some important family relationships.
My husband's father is very dear to me. He lives just a few miles away and takes such an interest in my children and I.
He was born during The Great Depression, raised in rural Alabama, eventually married and then did quite well for himself.
He was brought up in a time when family lived near each other. They CARED about and for each other.
I imagine on holidays like Thanksgiving they probably enjoyed a good meal and then everyone rocked and talked. I can see it now. I wish I could have lived during that time.
