Brihte at Home: October
Your whole October homeschool is already planned.
Brihte at Home: October is a complete four-week guide for families, co-ops, and small classrooms, made for ages 5–12. Over four weeks, your children will pull hidden colors out of a fall leaf, weigh and open a pumpkin like real scientists, make old-fashioned pickles, travel to harvest festivals around the world, and host a Haunted Parlor where every spooky trick has a science secret.
What's Inside Brihte at Home: October
Week 1: The Science of Fall
Children discover why leaves change color by pulling hidden pigments out of a leaf with coffee-filter chromatography, then watch spinach disks float as they make oxygen. They become Leaf Detectives, building their own identification key. Featured people: Jan Ingenhousz and Anna Botsford Comstock.
Circle question: What is growing in me right now?
Week 2: Harvest & Farm Life
A full Pumpkin Investigation Lab with estimating, measuring, sink-or-float testing, and seed counting. Children launch a Pumpkin Time Capsule they'll watch decompose all month, then make quick pickles and test old-fashioned ways to keep apples fresh. Featured people: Luther Burbank and John Deere.
Circle question: Can I believe in something before I see it grow?
Week 3: Harvest Around the World
Children travel to five harvest festivals across China, Korea, Ghana, Germany, and Jewish tradition with a handmade passport. Then they interview a family member and bring a family recipe to a shared Harvest Table. Featured people: Norman Borlaug and your own family heroes.
Circle question: Where do my roots come from, and how do they make me strong?
Week 4: Spooky Science
Static ghosts, shadow theater, and screaming cups teach electricity, light, and sound. The month ends with Houdini's Haunted Parlor, where each child performs a science "trick" for family and then reveals the secret. Featured people: Harry Houdini and Benjamin Franklin.
Circle question: How can I be brave in the dark?
Also included
A month-long Nature Journal, plus a Personal Nature Study where each child follows one subject all month
A Pumpkin Patch Adventure Day to take the learning outside
"Going deeper" challenges for ages 10–12
A complete materials list by week, with most items already in your kitchen
A skills map covering science, math, history, geography, language arts, art, and social-emotional learning for your homeschool records
19 pages · Instant PDF download · Ages 5–12 · Works for one child, siblings, co-ops, or small classrooms
Founding Price $12!
