This month’s Poppins Book Nook Theme is “Wild West”. We read the book White Fang by Jack London.
Jack London’s classic tale of the Half-wolf, half-dog, takes you on White Fang’s epic journey from cub to sled dog, to fighting dog. Living in harsh surroundings with brutal owners, every day is a battle for survival.
We did quite a few wild westified (is that a word?) activities. The kids thoroughly enjoyed them.
We worked on the Poppins Book Nook Wild West Lapbook by Enchanted Homeschooling Mom.
