Overview of My Side of the Mountain

My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George is an adventure story that begins when 12-year-old Sam Gribley decides to leave his family and their small, cramped New York City apartment to seek a quieter life and explore the world. Told from the first person through journal entries, notes, and drawings, Sam embarks on a journey in the Catskill Mountains, relying on his own survival skills to make it on his own. Along the way, Sam learns how to build fires, forage for food, and catch fish as he seeks independence in the woods. Prepared with only a few items like a pen knife, an ax, and the clothes on his back, Sam quickly learns that surviving in nature involves more than he has read about in books.

Mr. Poppers Penguins Book Study- LOVE IT!!

This is our first time using Treehouse Schoolhouse. I was looking for a way that we could read some different types of books and do a fun yet educational curriculum or something to go along with it. I found this and decided to give it a try. We are on day 5 and LOVING IT!! My son is a very bright 9 year old and is fully enjoying not only the book, but the videos, the discussions, and the activities that go along with it. Reading is Joe our first subject of every day. I can’t recommend this book study enough! We are going to do Charolette’s Web next ❤️

We had such a great experience with this family style book study, and the guide truly supported branching out to so many relevant topics that we were able to go further down the rabbit hole. The reference links with videos and additional reading materials was a huge support. Thank You!

Inspiring book study

I am using this study with my 6 and 2.5 year old and we have loved it so far! It's made my prep easy with so many ideas for books, activities, and educational videos. I was looking for something that was literature based, required very little prep on my part, yet had flexibility for our needs, and this has been perfect!
