The Pumpkin Runner by Marsha Diane Arnold, pictures by Brad Sneed

Inspired by the true story of a 61-year-old farmer who won a foot race against well-trained athletes in 1983, this children’s book is a great addition to a home library. Joshua Summerhayes ran several kilometers every day caring his cattle, sustained mostly by his food of choice, pumpkins! On a whim he decided to register for the Koala-K Race, a 900 kilometer competition against professional runners. He surprised the world when word got out on the third day of the race that “the sheep rancher wearing overalls and gumboots was leading the race.” This sweet story is an autumn book you don’t want to miss!

The Oxcart Man by Donald Hall, pictures by Barbara Cooney

As children read this story, they will learn the old ways of living off the family homestead. This family makes and grows goods to use or sell at the market in Octorber. Mother and daughter spin yarn shorn from their sheep. They make it into mittens and a shawl. Father and son make birch brooms and shingles from wood. They save potatoes, apples, honey, and maple sugar (all grown at home) to trade for other goods. I love how this book teaches children economics in a subtle lesson. They learn where goods come from and how they can be exchanged for other items.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn by Kenard Pak

As the last few days of summer slowly fade, what is changing around us? Animals are scurrying to store up for winter. All the critters are making nests and dens. A chilly wind blows through the trees. Flowers bend into the sun to soak up the last bit of warmth. Leaves are changing from green to lovely purples, red, and yellows. The unmistakable beauty of this book is the subtle yet colorful passage from green tones to vibrant hues.

Johnny Appleseed by Steven Kellog

In this classic American folktale retold and illustrated by Steven Kellog, kids learn about the life of Johnny Appleseed. Follow Johnny from his birthplace in Massachusetts to the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania as he plants apple orchards among the pioneer families. I thought it was interesting to learn that many of these family bought his apple trees along their travels. This only encouraged him to adventure even farther west to Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and other states. Many of Johnny’s stories were exaggerated which is the part kids tend to like the most!

The post My Favorite Children’s Picture Books to Read in Fall appeared first on Our Life Homeschooling.

As the colder weather blows in, warm your homeschool by using this Fall-Themed Homeschool Copywork (Free Printable)! Have them copy the best pieces of writing from great authors. When your children copy stories and poems about gathering the harvest bounty and savoring cheerful fires by the hearth, they will improve their writing as well as savor the best of the fall season.

If you want to simplify your homeschool writing lessons, yet give your child a rich study that will propel them forward as a writer. Try copywork! We have been using copy work as the core of our homeschool writing lessons for 14 years. I have seen wonderful results in our children from daily copywork practice!

When students copy great literature, they learn many skills. I like to compare it to the difference between a scenic ride in a car and an amble through a meadow. The leisurely walk will leave a greater impression on the mind. Similarly, copywork makes kids pause and readily observe details more fully.

What is Copywork?

Copywork is simply the habit of hand-copying short passages of text from great authors. Think about it. How do we learn to do anything? We observe someone who is doing it! Copywork challenges kids to copy the written work of excellent communicators.

What are the benefits of copywork?

Copywork is such a valuable tool with several benefits that make it perfect for homeschool families.

• Improves a child’s power of attention.
• Teaches many language arts skills all in one: punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, and vocabulary.
• Gives kids meaningful independent work (unlike worksheets.)
• Makes them familiar with meaningful passages from favorite books.

How Much Should a Child Copy?

As a good rule of thumb, I like to have my kids copy one sentence a day for first grade, two for second, and so on. If they want to do more, sure! But this metric is a reasonable developmental goal for most kids. 

When they start, it is a good idea to give them simple sentences. Check to see that they are using proper letter formation, capitalization, and punctuation. Remind a young child to give their best effort. They should pay close attention and use correct spelling.

The copywork lesson should be short. If it takes your child more than 15-20 minutes to complete a small section, you may be giving them too much to copy.

Does Copywork Really Work?

In most popular writing methods, young students in early elementary school are encouraged to write papers but they have very little to no exposure to quality books or time to reflect on them.

The main difference that I see between copywork and other writing methods is this. With copywork, the student first observes an excellent piece, slowly and carefully, copying with exact detail, and concludes afterward.

Typically, after daily practice with copywork over time, homeschool parents can have their students write independently (through narration) to express their thoughts in written form. In this way, the writing begins after the observation. Children can only express what they possess!

When copywork is used along with the habit of narration, children observe first and write later. This is a very natural way to learn how to write.

You can read more about narration in these posts.

Helpful Habits for Writing Well #3: Narration

Copywork Results

Now that we have a homeschool graduate as well as other older children in high school, I have been able to see the true results of using copywork from a broad perspective.

As our older students have reached middle and high school age, they have had the opportunity to take writing classes from other teachers who specifically teach writing classes. On more than one occasion, they have received compliments on how well they write.

I say this not to brag about my kids, but to show that copywork (along with narration– which we also use) works very well! Don’t underestimate its possibilities! You can have a very simple writing program and your children can learn to be good writers.

How We Do Copywork In Our Homeschool

When I prepare pages of copywork for our kids, I print out the sample copywork sheets, 3-hole punch it, and put it in a copywork notebook. Separately, I give them a spiral-lined notebook with their name and the subject “copywork” on the front. These copywork notebooks should be sufficient to keep all their copywork for the school year.

Each new day, they write the date in the margin and write their copywork section beside it, either a sentence or paragraph, according to their age and ability.

Often I will have them read their copywork back to me. This helps them to spot mistakes. (Also, if they have trouble reading their writing, they can realize that on their own without mom having to harp on them about it!)

What is included in the Fall Themed Copywork?

• 2 pages of all your FAQ about copywork
• 5 free copywork pages (This should be enough to last from September through November.)
• Appropriate for 1st through 6th grades approximately
• Various Bible verses
• Poems by Helen Hunt Jackson, Robert Louis Stevenson, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Emily Dickinson, Adelaide Crapsey, and Lydia Maria Child
• Copywork selections from the following books: Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White, Sleep Tight Farm: A Farm Prepares for Winter by Eugene Doyle, The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton, and An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott
• Selections from The Farmers’ Almanac

Fall Life Skills for Everyone

Cooking in the Fall

Every season is a good time to teach kids how to cook. Take the time to teach kids the kinds of food we cook in the fall. Get out the apples and pumpkins, and all your favorite fall recipes. Make a pot of chili or try baking a pie. Show them how to make their own hot chocolate or hot tea. Think of all the lessons that you learn the more you cook: thickening a soup, cracking/whisking an egg, making rice, why sweet desserts need salt. This list could go on. Cooking is chemistry!

How have you learned all that you know about cooking? By doing it over and over again! Kids will naturally learn more about these processes the more they do them!

Raking Fall Leaves

There’s not a lot of skill that needs to be learned in raking leaves, just muscle. Having kids rake the leaves alongside you helps them see it as a part of regular lawn care that we need to do every fall.

Fall Outdoor Clean Up

Kids can help to cut down the perennial beds. This is a favorite job for many kids since they love cutting almost anything. Give them a pair of garden shears (age appropriate) and show them how to clip the plants down to the base of the plant.

Kids can also help put away summer toys, pick up trash in the yard, sweep the front porch areas, cover the grill, clean out the garden, bring plants in for the winter.

Keeping a Clean Bedroom

Since summer can be a busy time of year, bedrooms may be neglected. As fall brings us back inside more often, this is a great time to really clean out our bedrooms. Have kids tidy their bedrooms. Show them how to declutter so they can start with a clean slate. This may mean deciding which toys they really love and which they would like to donate.

Review and Revisit Indoor Chore Responsibilities

With the shift from outdoor activities to more time indoors, take a look at your household chore plan. Does the system in place still work for you? For the kids? As kids grow, they are able to do more work to contribute to the needs of the family. In our family, we do chores by zones.

Canning and Preserving Food

The last of the harvest comes in the fall. If you are still preserving food, involve your kids in your work. We can applesauce as a family every fall. The whole family participates in this. If you dehydrate or freeze food, there are even more opportunities for kids to help. For our family, this a regular fall event. We want them to know how to preserve their own food, so involving them in this kind of work is very important to us.

Vote

Discuss the voting process to your kids. Show them how to read a voter guide. Have conversations about the issues that are on the ballot. Most importantly, take them WITH YOU when you vote!

Natural Health and Preventing Sickness

As cold and flu season comes around, remind the kids of the importance of eating healthy foods and washing hands. Discuss natural ways to build immunity like fresh air and adequate sleep. We encourage our kids to take vitamins and drink probiotics especially this time of year.

Middle Kids

Make their own breakfast or lunch. One of my favorite benefits of homeschooling is regular home cooked meals! This doesn’t mean that mom should have to do all the work though! Encourage your middle kids to either make their own breakfast/lunch or occasionally make meal for the family. They will feel pride as their repertoire of dishes grows.

Laundry-Middle kids may not be ready to do their own laundry, but they can help with sorting and folding. They are also old enough to keep their clothes drawers organized. Regularly checking their closets will be an incentive for them to keep their drawers neat.

Practical Math– Practice math skills that they will use every day at home and out in the community.

• Figuring measurements in a recipe, doubling a recipe.

• Making change for a $1, $10, $20.

• Rounding prices in the grocery store to mentally tabulate items in your cart.

Pin It! Valuable Life Skills for Kids to Learn in Fall

The post Valuable Life Skills for Kids to Learn in Fall appeared first on Our Life Homeschooling.

As homeschoolers, we spend a lot of time choosing curriculum and planning our school year, but what about some of the life skills and family traditions that you want your kids to learn? Have you allowed time in your year for these important learning opportunities? Have you ever thought about what family traditions you want to pass down to the next generation? Canning applesauce as a whole family is one tradition that we value in our family. Follow along as I show our step-by-step applesauce process and get a sneak peek into our family’s annual Applesauce Extravaganza. Here’s how to can applesauce and pass down a family tradition!

Video: How to Can Applesauce and Pass Down a Family Tradition

Our Applesauce Canning Tradition

When my husband and I got married, we became a part of his family’s applesauce canning tradition. Every year around late August or early September, the family gathers to make and can applesauce. Everyone is involved in this process. It’s a big event and a lot of work, but working together makes the job more enjoyable! (Not to mention all the yummy applesauce we get to take home with us!) It is a great feeling to fill your pantry with delicious applesauce to eat during the long winter months.

Over the years siblings, family friends, and now our children have joined in this yearly tradition. Everyone takes part in the work. There is a job for everyone to do. Our kids have observed this process so many times, it has become a part of their childhood.

We have always used Rambo apples. They are an heirloom apple. They are rather tart and we do not add sugar, but this is the kind of applesauce our family loves. If you like a sweeter sauce, you can choose a sweeter apple or add sugar.

How to Can Applesauce

Canning Supplies Needed:

* This post may contain affiliate links, which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Paring knives

Several large kettles and bowls

Saucer: Kitchen Aid Mixer with Saucer Attachment, hand crank Victorio Strainer, or any other kind of saucer

Quart or Half Gallon Sized Mason jars

Small mouth and/or large mouth jar lids and rings, depending on the size of your jar mouths

Canning Funnel

Canning magnetic Lit Lifter

Jar lifter

Canner

#1 Prepare the Kitchen

When you make applesauce, you need a lot of counter space. We start by washing all the dishes and clearing the counters. If you are working in a smaller kitchen, you may need to set up an extra table to give more space. We thoroughly clean our kitchen sink because we fill it with apples and water to clean our apples.

The kids help us the night before by bringing up jars from the basement where we store our canned goods. We either wash the jars in hop soapy water or sterilize them in the dishwasher. It is important to have clean jars so that no bacteria gets into the applesauce.

The stovetop can get really caked with drippings of applesauce that spill out as it is cooking, so we prepare the stove by covering our burners with foil to catch the drippings. This way, when we finish at the end of the day, we can take the foil off and the stovetop. is mostly clean.

We make our applesauce inside on the stove top, but we have bought a separate camp stove that we set up outside to can the jars. This needs to be set up as well.

We have a few stations in our kitchen so we like to have these set up beforehand. They are:

• Cutting (dining room table)
• Cooking (stove top)
• Saucing (counter top)
• Pouring sauce into jars (counter top)
• Canning Station (outside camp stoves)

#2 Wash and Cut the Apples

To wash the apples, dump out enough apples to fill the sink. Turn on the water to fill the sink and rinse the apples well.

Using a paring knife, we cut the apples into quarters and core them with the paring knife as we go. Fill large bowls with the cut apples ready to go into kettles to be cooked. We typically have 2-3 people cutting at a time. You won’t need to worry about peeling because the peels will come off in the saucer. Also, although it is helpful to take out the cores, they will also come out in the saucer.

For the first time this year, we purchased a commercial french fry cutter to cut our apples. We weren’t sure how it would work, but it was a huge time saver! We pushed the apples through the cutter and hand-picked out the cores as best as we could. The smaller size of apples from the french fry cutter saved time cooking on the stove. It also made less applesauce drippings boiling over the tops of the kettles.

#3 Cook the Apples

Next we fill large kettles with the cut apples. We add a few cups of water (approximately 6-8 cups) to the kettle. You will have to experiment with the first kettle to know how much water to add. If the sauce is to runny, use less. If it is too thick, add more water.

Cook the apples until they are very soft and mushy, like applesauce. They will need to boil for 10-15 minutes to become soft. Make sure to stir the applesauce regularly to keep them from burning on the bottom. Keep a lid on the kettle because the applesauce will easily pop and boil over, making a mess. When you stir the sauce, it is helpful to have a long handled metal spoon and oven mitts. The mitts protect your skin from any applesauce popping out when you lift the lid to stir it.

#4 Run the Apples through a Saucer

Carry the hot kettle full of mushy apples to the saucer. Turn on the saucer and slowly pour the mushy apples in the top funnel. The apple saucer will sift out the peels and any cores or seeds. These will come out the side so you will need a bowl to catch the waste. You will need a second large bowl to catch the sauce coming down the saucer. The applesauce will pour from the front shoot.

For many years we used a Kitchen Aid Mixer with a Saucer Attachment. This works very well. You may have to clean out the saucer a little mid way through if you find it is running louder or if the sauce is coming out more slowly.

Over time and since we process quite a bit of apples every year, we invested in a larger commercial style saucer.

#5 Fill Jars With Applesauce

Fill the sterilized jars with the hot applesauce. We use a canning funnel to help keep from spilling the sauce. It can get messy without one. Fill the jars leaving a 1/2 inch head space at the top.

Use a clean cloth or damp paper towel to wipe off the mouth of each jar.

#6 Prepare Lids and Rings

Wash the jar rings before hand in hot soapy water. You will also want to boil the lids for about a minute on the stove top. This will sterilize them. It will also help soften the rubber gasket to help it seal.

Using a canning magnetic lid lifter, take the lids from the boiling water and place on the top of your jar. Screw the ring on the jar. It is important not to screw the lids on too loosely or tightly. Too loose and they may not seal. Too tight and the lids may buckle.

#7 Process Jars in Canner

Using canning tongs, lift your jars and place into a canner filled with very hot, but not boiling water. Fill the canner. Most canners will hold 7 quart jars or 4 half gallon jars. Turn the heat to a boil. As soon as the water starts boiling, you can start the timer. We process quart jars for 15 minutes and half gallon jars for 20 minutes.

#8 Remove Jars to Cool

When the applesauce is done processing in the canner, use the jar lifter to take your jars out of the canner. Place on a dry towel on the counter and allow them to cool for 24 hours before moving them. After 24 hours, you can remove the rings. Check to see that each of the jars sealed properly.

And that sums up how to can applesauce and pass down a family tradition!

What life skills and family traditions do you want pass down to your kids?

If you are looking for a family tradition to start with your kids, give applesauce a try! This has been a yearly event that we all look forward to.
