The Laura Ingalls Wilder Companion, created by author Annette Whipple, is a richly detailed blog dedicated to exploring the pioneer world behind the beloved Little House books. In its popular "Live Like Laura" section, visitors can discover hands-on activities, period recipes, crafts, and pioneer living tips rooted in Wilder's life. The site also offers free printables, trivia, book discussions, guides to Little House homesites and museums, and resources to complement a chapter-by-chapter study of Wilder's works, making it a wonderful tool for educators and fans alike.
In the Classroom
Use an interactive whiteboard or projector to introduce your students to the lovely Laura Ingalls Wilder. After introducing the site, ask students to read parts of the blog in pairs or small groups. If you are beginning the process of integrating technology, have students replace pen and paper and create their own blogs sharing their learning and understanding using Weebly, reviewed here. If you are teaching younger students and looking for an easy way to integrate technology and check for understanding challenge your students to replace pencil and paper and create a blog using Seesaw, reviewed here. Take this a step further with older students and enhance student learning by asking them to use their blog entries to create an interactive timeline of Laura's life using Knightlab's multimedia timeline creator, reviewed here.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
