John Muir Block - Language Arts and Humanities from the Enki Curriculum

We are in our 3rd block for the year. We are studying the life of John Muir using our Enki Curriculum for Second Grade.

For me as a teacher and as a human being this has been a healing, inspiring and powerful experience.

For Ryder (and Dax) I see the pieces of this beautiful human being light the way for my boys.

We began reading the Fox tales so when we started Johnnie's stories the boys could imagine Johnnie's Grandfather sharing these stories with him.

When we began reading his life story one of our first trips was to our closest National Park where we found Owl Pellets and other goodies.

We watched The Secret of Roan Innish, a fabulous movie for family night that shares the legend of the Silkies.

Here are some photos from our many wonderful time with John Muir.
