While my daughter is already reading ahead. All four children were gathered around me, as I read this one and it's first three chapters aloud as planned in the Memoria Press 3M Classical Core Curriculum. Newborn in my arms just a trio of weeks younger than Sophie's Johnny in the book and the two toddlers scrambling to lean of my leg propped on a kitchen chair. While the third grader herself sat with wrapt attention as she finished her dinner.

We've had crazy school breaks with holidays, health crisis, flu illness, vacation road trips and more. But we have finally finished reading The Cabin Faced West as recommended by Memoria Press 3M Classical Core Curriculum. We've all enjoyed this read aloud for American Studies. I also gratefully appreciate the American Studies Discussion Guide for 3rd Grade.

I'm glad we experienced this one and I will keep it on our list for future years. I even got chills and teary eyed at the end...

Bought a vintage copy via Thriftbooks. Check my blog for a link to support my reviews and our school.
