Sewing Unit Study – Day 2
Day 2 of our unit study was started off with a short children’s book. (My daughter does not seem to be interested in history but she really liked this short & colorful children’s book.) If you feel the history segment of this lesson is too short, you can of course, read a chapter book about Betsy Ross instead of the short children’s book suggested. History & Writing Read: Betsy Ross – written and illustrated by Alexandra Wallner Make 5 pointed star from instructions in back of book and place in sewing notebook (this can be as simple as a composition book or a 3-ring binder that you add your own…

Lately I’ve been challenged to help my daughter enjoy the schooling process more. Like all of us have found out each child is different with their own unique personality and learning style.

Then I thought of Dr. Raymond Moore, a man of much common sense and understanding of children and how they learn. What would he suggest? From reading all of his…

Making Soap
One of the items we offered at our Middle Ages market stand was soap. I got into soap making several years ago and made my own for a short while but then eventually stopped. I decided it might be fun to offer soap at our stand, so I got out all my dusty supplies and made a few batches. This is the book I use when making soap. I usually always make the Basic Soap recipe. First I assembled all my supplies: distilled water, lye, kitchen scale (a must), glass jar w/ long wooden spoon, olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract, essential oils for scent. The…
