The Wee Guy was also studying 17th Century History. It was a fascinating time - both the 17th century and our time of studying it.
We had a lapbook from A Journey Through Learning, and we had a great time learning about King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I; about King James (I of England; VI of Scotland) and the Separatists
about the Mayflower, the Mayflower Compact and about the First Americans.
We went on to learn the amazing story of Squanto and of the First Thanksgiving
and decorated our walls.
We had a great time studying this period of history, and the fascination with it has never left the Wee Guy.
This year, we are moving further West. We're loving the Little House books, and the insight into this period of American history.
Looks like you did an amazing project there! Last year we did a bit (but nothing like as much as you) of work on Thanksgiving (mostly using materials from Enchanted Learning). This year, we did very little other than of course have our Thanksgiving Dinner, thanks to my two big girls.
ReplyDeleteNovember is a busy month here, I never get through all I mean to (hangs head in shame :-)
