We have been making very
very slow progress on our history time line... That is why I haven't posted about it in awhile. We
finally finished reading about the Pilgrims. It seemed to take
forever to get through
Stories of the Pilgrims. This was a BIG book (240 pages) for my little ones, but the boys really did enjoy it! After that, we all REALLY enjoyed
Squanto and
The Pilgrims of Plimoth. The boys especially loved that Daddy was able to read Squanto to them, for a change! (I got to listen in, since he was reading a couple chapters out loud to all of us each night--while I would get dinner on the table... This was
very helpful!)

We have now moved on to learning about Ben Franklin. Did you know that he was the
fifteenth child of
seventeen children, and the youngest son (of ten boys) in his family!!
Gotta love those big families!!! Anyway, the book we are reading is titled, obviously ;),
Benjamin Franklin!!! It is yet another of the wonderful books by
Ingri D'Aulaire
. They are so great, and really capture all the children's attention, as well as my own!
The boys were excited to be moving on to another book by her, since they just love coloring the black and white pictures illustrated by her husband Edgar d'Aulaire.

The boys would really
love to make another
history lap book, so, I think we just might do one on Ben... We'll see!
