Description
Learn about goat kidding, hatching chicks, and llamas from a real farmer! We'll read three different indie books with stuffed props, discussion, and a drawing activity for each.
Recommended for ages 3-8.
Join us as we check out three great books about farm animals -- two of which were illustrated by a 7-year-old homeschooler! -- then draw pictures of the animals we meet in the stories!
This three-part self-paced story time class centers around baby farm animals, focusing on goats, chickens, and llamas. Supplemented with plush animals, video lessons read the stories aloud, asking interactive questions about the text as we go. Lesson one is about goat kidding and baby animals. Lesson two is all about chickens, eggs, nesting, chicks, and baby farm animals. Lesson three is the true story of a llama lost on Pike's Peak and all the animals he meets along the way.
Each lesson also features a separate draw-along video, showing learners how to draw the heroes of our stories on their own. Learners are also encouraged to share their drawings with the teacher via email, if they would like!
Book 1: "Are You Kidding?" (by Steph and Vivi Allosso) tells the story of Margo the goat and her babies. As we read, we'll figure out what kidding means, as well as discover what the other animals on the farm think about it.
Book 2: "Are You Brooding?" (by Steph and Vivi Allosso) tells the story of Gladys the chicken and her eggs. As we read, we will learn about and discuss the different farm animals in the book. We will also talk about some chicken terms, and meet the chicks after they hatch.
Book 3: "The Little Lost Llama" (by Marie Ballard, illustrated by Tracy Ducharme) tells the true story of Homer, the llama lost on Pike's Peak, Colorado.
This self-paced class does not have any live meetings. All content is uploaded via video or video link and available in the self-paced classroom.

Hello. My name is Heidi. I've been homesteading for two decades, and homeschooling as long as I've had a school-age kid. I think that learning happens both intentionally and experientially, and there is something to be said for serious indoor study, as well as having fun and just exploring the world.
I have been taking care of the family farm for more than 20 years; tending garden, orchard, a timber stand, and raising dairy goats, chickens, and waterfowl. My family started and operates a goat milk soap business and my husband creates and carves with a CNC he built and programmed himself.
I've been teaching for more than ten years, with extensive experience both in the classroom and online platforms, with students ranging from kindergarten through grad school. I have taught at private schools, college campuses, and homeschool co-ops. I have also taught virtually in both the master's of education and doctorate of education programs at Concordia University Online. In fact, as of 2026, I have taught well over 6,000 live online classes, reaching more than 4,200 unique students.
So come learn with me, whether your classroom has four walls or no walls. Let's have fun learning online!
