We started with reading from Pocahontas, originally published in 1946.
Next the boys got to color a map of Virginia and label Jamestown. This was added to their History Notebooks.
Then, since this was our last subject of the day-- I save it for last, as motivation to get the other subjects done--I pulled out the main source of their excitement.
We have many different toobs already... But when we were at Michaels a few months ago and I knew we would be studying Early American History this year, I just had to purchase them. The boys were with me and wanted to play with them right away... However, I told them they had to wait till we were studying Jamestown. They didn't forget :)
So during playtime, out came the Lincoln logs once again, and they started making an Indian camp. Here are a couple pictures of the project:
Hummmm...
Mom is wondering if anything can come of this mess!!
So there you go. More proof that learning can be fun!
