More Little House Connections...

I love showing the kids pictures and videos that help bring Little House in the Big Woods alive for them.
Before reading the 'Dance at Grandpa's' chapter, I shared a video about square dancing with Room 408.

When I was little, we learned how to square dance in gym...many kids today don't even know what square dancing is!  However, Kaylene's family actually held a square dance at their farm and she was able to share her experiences, as well.

In one of the final chapters of the book, Laura writes about the threshing machine that Pa hires to help with the wheat.  Here is the video that I shared with them:

We're already excited to read the next book, Little House on the Prairie!
