Trumpet of the Swan

We figured since we loved Charlotte's Web that E.B. White's The Trumpet of the Swan might be just as good...and it was!  Again, every chapter has some lesson or activity that we could do to reinforce the learning. I think my favorite was teaching the kids about N,S,E,W etc. on a compass.  We love our family read alouds. Jared was so interested in the book that he did a whole research unit on swans and made a book of swans with beautiful drawings on each different kind with all their characteristics. I love homeschooling!
