My Little House on the Prairie Home School Workbook - Paperback

by Kimberly M. Hartfield (Author)

One of my fondest memories is reading the Little House books to my girls and boys for the first time. When they were old enough, I knew I had to read those wonderful stories of a time gone by to let them experience it for themselves. The kids loved Laura's stories as much as I did, and together we discovered a world that we never knew, but wish we had. When I began homeschooling the last two of my eight children, the Little House books were the first on our reading list. I created these worksheets and activities to go along with our reading and found them very helpful to us as homeschoolers. I knew there was a need for them and I had hoped to make them available to other homeschoolers. I believe these will be even more useful in a printed booklet, so I decided to publish them in a more traditional method, in a workbook format. I hope this workbook will help parents and children learn together and encourage them to learn about some of the old ways of doing things. I hope that users will find them a great help in their home school endeavors.

Author Biography

First and foremost, I am a mother of eight wonderful children and nine grandchildren, of whom I am very proud. I am also a bi-vocational ordained evangelical minister, and a Christian Counselor. I received my B.S. degree in 2004, studying primarily in the areas of Psychology, with minors in Religion and English. I received my Masters Degree in 2009 in Psychological Counseling with an emphasis in Christian Counseling. My personal online ministry is geared toward victims of sexual and domestic violence, including victims of childhood sexual abuse, whether currently or in the past. It is now located on the international web at http: //gofishministries.wordpress.com God has brought me through such diverse tribulations as sexual, physical, and mental abuse, being a victim of a drunk driving accident, spousal pornography addiction, adultery, divorce, remarriage, a very brief, though unjust, incarceration, and having experienced multiple miscarriages, being unemployed long term, and various other trials. God's word tells us that "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to the purposes of God." Since I have this hope, I believe that God has blessed me with the ability to share what I have learned of these issues to the Christian community, and I hope to be able to use my personal experiences as a ministry of God's grace and in the comforting of the people of God with the truth of God's mercy. I claim II Corinthians 1: 3 & 4 as my calling, which states: "Blessed be God, the Origin of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Origin of mercies, and the God of comfort; who comforts us in all our troubles, that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble, by the comfort we ourselves have been given by God."
