If you want to make a homemade squirrel... I mean, bird feeder like this, too, click here for instructions. We didn't paint ours all fancy-like or add Popsicle-stick shingles, but even our simple version of this craft works. A tufted titmouse came after this squirrel had gone away. We were able to watch him eat from where we do our lessons everyday, but he wasn't there long enough for us to get a picture to share with you.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
