Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

It's not really a how-to book, but I loved reading the fictional kids novel, "Surviving the Applewhites", for a dose of unschooling inspiration.


Kelly, I enjoyed this novel - but my kids haven't read it. I might go back and re-read it and see if its okay to pass onto the kids. I remember liking the girl character who took her own education in hand, so to speak. Mapped out a course of study and so forth.

And I liked how each child, even the visitor, pursued their passions...

Those were all the things I liked about the book, too---and putting on the play in their barn (I've always wanted to do theatre!). It's a fun read, tho not "great literature" by any stretch...and CERTAINLY not the Chalet School
