This post is a part of the What Homeschool Looks Like series over at Our Life At Home.
I chose this photo of my son as we were leaving the library this week. The library is such a magical place for us. The whole world is at our fingertips. I have a strict policy when I take my son to the library…..He chooses what he wants to read, always. I never make him pick a book. I may give him suggestions, but ultimately he makes the decision. He has a very eclectic taste in books too. So, we left the library with a book on dragonology, a book on mythical creatures, a book on climate change, several dinosaur species books, a book on cave bears, a book on whales, a book on gorillas, a book about a ship sailing on rough waves, a book about a little boy playing in the snow, and a silly children’s poem about a house that Dracula built. Like I said, eclectic!
Ooh, is the Dragonology book a hard cover, about A4 sized? I think we own that one 😛
Yes it is!!! Its really great!
Looks like a great booklist… and I loved seeing that you guys were taking school to the beach 🙂 Learning can happen anywhere!
Thanks Michelle, Yes learning can happen anywhere 🙂
Great post – very inspiring! I tend to try and guide my daughter at the library, at least to books that aren’t going to scare her! But perhaps I should stand back more. Fab food for thought, thanks x
I’m so glad you stopped by! I encourage you to give your daughter a little freedom in her book choices and see where it leads you both 🙂
What a fab variety of books. The library is so good for children to visit and select books they like. We really must go again.
Thanks for sharing #LetKidsBeKids
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I’ve been meaning to join the nearest library to where we live, so my daughter would also have that experience of going in and choosing books to read. She does it at school, but a library is a whole different experience. One I really enjoyed as a child too 🙂
You should definitely do it. I’ll never forget how proud my son was the day he got his first library card 🙂
I love it!! Looks like an awesome stack! And how funny that we both posted photos from library day this week! 🙂
That is funny 🙂
