Gotta Love Jan Brett

We are in the middle of a unit study based on Jan Brett's book

"Comet's Nine Lives".

We are really enjoying it and have learned a lot about lighthouses as well as hurricanes and weather forecasting.  Some of the "go-along" books we are using are "The Storm" by Cynthia Rylant and  "Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie" by Peter Roop. 

I love the illustrations in all of Jan Brett's books, but "The Hat" and "Gingerbread Baby" are two of our very favorites.  There are over 4,000 pages of free activities on Jan Brett's website that go along with her wonderful books, check it out!

You are doing such an amazing job with these children. What more could a Grandma ask for. How heartbroken some Grandmas must get watching their families self destruct. But not this one - such a joy to be around these children, and know they are being raised in truth.

Love you -
Mom

Hi! I'm new here to HSB and new to homeschooling this year. I was looking at your site, and I have to say, you are an inspiration!!! We have four children, and live in NY. (I'm actually getting ready to do a quarterly report! LOL) The unit study on lighthouses actually caught my eye, bc we did one earlier this year, and my son LOVES lighthouses. We also did the "Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie" story. Amazing story, btw. Do you mind if I add you as a friend?
