Native American Studies

From Fall of 2007 to about February of 2008 we studied Columbus to the start of America and why we are here and who was here before us but the Indians. So we studies the Indians and their culture as well as their traditions. Here are the craft projects that we did. We did masks, jewelry, letters, baskets etc. All the interesting things Indians might have at their camp. Then we built a diorama of an Indian village.

I found a great curriculum for this. The company is Evan Moore History Pockets.

Turtle Lapbook

Well, since we have a tortoise, Vincent really wanted to learn about Sunny and why and how he works. So I did the research on Tortoises habitat, breeding and the food they eat etc. and added the difference between tortoise and turtle and we made a very cute Turtle Lapbook.
