Do we have any fellow Whovians in the house? 🙋‍♀️ Doctor Who was a huge staple show at the Gratehouse residence, and one of my favorite memories is getting to watch the 50th Anniversary special all way back when.

Today marks the anniversary of the first Doctor Who episode, which debuted on November 23, 1963. In this lesson, Olivia creates a picture of the TARDIS as it travels through time and space.

Have you noticed anything go missing recently? But

Have you noticed anything go missing recently? Buttons, a thimble, a matchbox, a clothespin... little things that you might have left lying around? 👀 These are the sort of things that the tiny people might "borrow" for their house under the kitchen floor! This habit of theirs has earned the simple title of “the Borrowers,” as they take all manner of bits and bobs to furnish their cozy little home.

In this LiterArture lesson inspired by "The Borrowers" by Mary Norton, we make a collage out of found objects: trinkets and other junk scattered around your house, and use them make a tiny sitting room with tables and chairs and all other things to live in!

November is here! Which means that in the US, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. 😍 As we draw nearer to the holiday season, one of the most important things for us to remember is to maintain an attitude of gratitude, counting our blessings and remembering those who came before us.

At Awaken to Delight, our curriculum for the month of November is FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH, a four-week session inspired by the pilgrims and founding fathers of our nation! Dive into the history of the very first settlers of this nation and learn about how the world changed around them. #awkentodelight #attitudeofgratitude #thanksgiving

This is your daily reminder to not let the old literary monsters win. 🧟‍♂️ But maybe read a literary novel about a monster this Halloween Evening. 🎃

The Reformation was a significant movement in the

The Reformation was a significant movement in the 16th century that changed the course of the church, faith, and even education. It began with a desire to bring the church back to its roots, focusing on the Bible and the teachings of Jesus, rather than man, and led to profound changes across Europe.

In 1517 a German monk named Martin Luther nailed a list of criticisms, known as the Ninety-Five Theses, to the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany. Luther had been deeply troubled by the practices within the Catholic church, which involved selling indulgences (essentially, “tickets to heaven”) and wanted to bring attention to these corrupt practices.

Little did he know that his actions would spark a movement that would change the course of history…

Read all about the Reformation in today's blog post at Awaken to Delight, with its benefits, as well as several key figures who contributed to the Reformation Movement, including Martin Luther, John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and more!

We’ve been cooking up something spooky at Awaken to Delight. 🤭🥀🕸️ If your family doesn’t celebrate Halloween but would enjoy a fun, creative, and literary alternative, why not create a Gothic tea time inspired by classic literature?

Autumn, with its winds, rains, and plummeting temperatures can offer an otherworldly, eerie atmosphere to set the stage for a Gothic tea. Instead of focusing on ghosts and ghouls though, simply invite your older kids and teens to step into the world of classic literature, where they can explore dark, mysterious settings, dramatic storytelling, and intriguing characters.

With activities like reading classic Gothic poems or tales, dressing up in Victorian-inspired costumes, and enjoying elegant, themed treats, you can create a cozy yet thrilling experience that combines education, imagination, and seasonal fun. Inside you’ll find:

🥀 a brief history of Gothic literature
🥀 an extensive list of books, short stories, poems, and movie recommendations
🥀 a collection of gothic poems
🥀 writing prompts and activities
🥀 teatime menu ideas
🥀 decorating and dress up ideas
🥀 a Gothic music playlist

Step into the world of dark elegance, eerie mansions, and timeless tales with our “Gothic Literature Tea Time Guide.” Perfect for homeschooling families who want to enjoy a fun, educational, and mysterious alternative to traditional Halloween festivities, this 35+ page guide has everything you need to host an unforgettable Gothic-themed tea time!

“Tis the season for corn mazes, pumpkin spice everything, and – best of all – fall art projects! That’s where today’s woven pumpkin paintings come into the picture.

Never experimented with woven paper projects? The general idea is to create two versions of the same drawing or painting. After that, you cut the prepared pages into strips (one page in vertical strips and one in horizontal strips). Finally, you weave them together, securing the strips with glue in the process.

When it’s finished, you’ll be able to enjoy a fun twist on a traditional painting. And that’s exactly why we’re using this method to create our woven pumpkin paintings.

Join Emily Copeland @tablelifeblog in making this woven pumpkin painting! #fallcrafts #fallartworks #fallartprojects
