Training Our Daughters to Be Keepers at Home by Ann Ward Not everyone celebrates the year their daughter is in sixth grade, but I did.  I've been looking at this marvelous 7 year curriculum and waiting for Miss A to get old enough to justify the expense.  Well, now that she is in 6th grade, she has just 7 years before finishing high school.  Oh my!  How can it be?  Time really does fly.  So in my rainbow resource box I found this book just for me Miss A.  Here are the topics that I Miss A will learn about this year. Year 1 Godly Womanhood (utilizing The King's Daughter's and Other Stories for Girls; circa 1910) Sewing I Cooking & Baking I (utilizing Sue Gregg's Lunches & Snacks cookbook) Gardening I (utilizing Square Foot Gardening, Weeds: A Golden Guide, Weeds and What They Tell) Knitting I (I may substitute smocking since she wants to learn and I am knitting challenged) Greeting Card Making I (utilizing various books from the library) Before Miss A was old enough for this curriculum, I still taught some home economics skills.  I especially loved the books by the Pearables titled Home Ec for Home Schoolers.  I have all three levels and Miss J is thrilled to be old enough for level 1 this year.  Level 1 Skills: Nutrition Baking Cooking Sewing Cleaning Organizing Hospitality for a detailed list see the link below.
