Pioneers, trains, wars, masks, e-books and more!



We love our H.L.G.C. Home Learners Girls Congregation!



One day we made up a "pioneer girls" game. We grew our own food, carried our own water and made our own "campfire".


We made our own face and hair masks out of natural ingredients!



We visited the World War I battle exhibit at the Port Moody Museum and learned about our our great-grandfather fought in the war and was saved by a bible (or a prayer book) in his pocket!


We visited the railway museum and learned about the first trains that came to Vancouver.


We kept cooking and planing healthy meals for our family.


We made chicks and narwhals out of marzipan for Shakespeare's birthday.



Eleanor has been learning about air, water and soil, learning to plant her own plants and start her own garden.


Eleanor has been learning about toxins in detergents, and how they affect the water systems in our province. We compared laundry soaps and chose one that wasn't poison!


We did some math to learn about comparison shopping, and how to compare prices based on weights and measures (cost per 100g).


And of course, Eleanor wrote an e-book called "Tips On How To Bend A Bully." She learned how to use the e-book software, cut and paste and publish her own entries.


And.... here's some photos for the end of the year slide show!
