Thanks for posting the list, Alice. You know, since I made that list I keep thinking of books I want to add. Here are 2 additional books that are not Quaker per say, but really have the theme of earth stewardship and stress the good one person can do. My youngest just read them this summer even though they are a bit young for her. I'd say for they are good for ages 4-8 or so.
The Gardener, Sarah Stewart
Miss Rumphius, Barbara Cooney
I'd love to see lots of additions here and especially for older children.
Thanks!

I found this quite interesting and printed it off to review for possible use with my children today. Possibly you all are aware of it, but I will list it just incase you are not. It is entitled The Friendly Seed- 'Teaching Quaker Faith and Practice to Children', and it is published by the Curriculum Subcommittee for Religious Education (PYM) and it is free to download here: http://www.pym.org/education/capsules/30.htm. It looks easy enough to follow and teach and also provides several hands-on projects to do with your children.

I wish I could have homeschooled, but here it was not permitted to me by law. School choice is only permitted to two parent families that can afford for one to stay home.

Thanks for your gratulations and your input.
Homeschooling is by virtue of our new curriculum very hard, something I even as a teacher am very critical about. I think that most people do not understand that there are many pros to it and think it is…
Called Out, Called In: Maggie Harrison's Loving Challenge
There is a prophet in our midst, and her name is Maggie Harrison. Rousing many like fire, making my skin itch at being possibly excluded from this club that I don't even belong to, really (when asked if I am a Quaker, I always respond, 'Not yet.'), but want to think I can put on and off like so much-- clothing?And, nakedness. Taking off the mantle of Religious Identity, making space for the un-knowingness of living INTO something, removing armor and scaffold and hard won (or not so hard won)…See More

First of all, Mazel Tov! Prayers to your pregnancy, may it be a healthy, happy event in your life.
With my children, I have raised them with my beliefs, explained why I dress Plain for worship, and leave them with what I have taught in hopes…
