“One day in the very last of the winter Pa said to Ma, “Seeing you don't object, I've decided to go see the West. I've had an offer for this place, and we can sell it now for as much as we're ever likely to get.“

For this fun assignment, students will create their own “prairie journals,“ just like Laura Ingalls might have kept. They can write or draw about a day in the life of a pioneer child, imagining what it would be like to live in a little house on the prairie. Students can describe daily tasks, challenges, and adventures, such as helping build a house or tending to animals, and reflect on how life back then compares to their own lives today.
pickThe Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls (1935) introduces us to Laura Ingalls, the young girl who would grow up to write the beloved Little House books. When Pa decides to sell their log cabin, the Ingalls family sets off for Indian Territory, traveling from Wisconsin to Kansas. There, Pa builds their new home on the prairie. Though farm life can be hard and even dangerous, Laura and her family stay busy and they embrace their new life.
pickI absolutely failed at a chapter-a-day on this one. I didn't start until yesterday and finished it up today 😂. I was surprised at the overt racist attitudes in this one - not surprised they existed, but surprised it didn't stand out to me more when I read these as a child. Pa is less endearing to me as an adult than he was when I was a child. As a parent, it's hard to read about the way he risked his family's lives ⬇️
pickThis is a story about Laura ingalls and her family adventure of moving and building their new house on the prairie.
