🐇 Most species of rabbits live in extensive underground burrows called warrens. Their society is complex and each family has their own nesting chamber lined with grass and bits of moss. Join us this Easter as we adventure into a warren to meet some amazing rabbits! We'll learn about their physiology, society, families, and amazing adaptations.

🐰Our Rabbits Curious Trails Nature Study is currently on sale for 25% off until March 25th.

Throughout each CURIOUS TRAILS NATURE STUDY you’ll find open-and-go topic study guides and lots of hands-on-activities ranging from S.T.E.M. projects, art invitations, nature journaling, cooking together, and more! This family-style unit is divided into 4 weekly nature lessons with activities that follow and ideas for our younger and older learners. Come together for our unit celebration to study a quote from Winnie-the-Pooh while enjoying our delicious Cinnamon Rabbit Cookies!

🌼 Celebrating Spring with a new stack of read alouds. Many of these I did not read as a child. I love experiencing them for the first time right alongside my girls🥰

🌿The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
The entertaining exploits of Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger. This is our main novel study this term as we dive in to learn from one of the greatest authors.

🌿Skunk and Badger by Amy Timberlake
"When Skunk plows into Badger’s life, everything Badger knows is upended. Tails are flipped. The wrong animal is sprayed. And why-oh-why are there so many chickens?" We'll be extending this read with a geology study.

🌿The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes
"Wanda Petronski is ridiculed by her classmates for wearing the same faded blue dress every day. She claims she has one hundred dresses at home, but everyone knows she doesn’t. When Wanda is pulled out of school one day, the class feels terrible, and classmate Maddie decides that she is "never going to stand by and say nothing again."" A wonderful opportunity to discuss what we value and peer pressure.

🌿The Borrowers by Mary Norton
What could be more marvelous than sharing our home with a tiny family?

🌿The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White
A resourceful swan who teaches us perseverance. We can't wait to explore this sweet read.

🌿 The Year of Miss Agnes by Kirkpatrick Hill
We're excited to read about the relationships in this Alaskan one room school house!

🌿Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren
A spirited girl who reminds me a bit of my youngest. This is sure to get some giggles.

Check out what the other #truenorthhomeed mamas are reading this Spring!
