Boston town and Bunker Hill,

This project has been slow going, but it has been so much fun to learn all sorts of fun details about each state as we work our way through the Discover America Books
Thanks for posting this. I was just wondering how the scrapbooks were going. I've been inspired to start this project with my oldest too!
ReplyDeletekeeping all these things in mind when the kids get a bit older. :)

ReplyDeleteAngela ~ Captain wanted to draw a picture of a boat filled with people watching a whale. We had been studying the Ocean as well for "O" week, and the letter G in M is for Mayflower talked about whale watching in Gloucester.
Hi Again,
ReplyDeleteI meant to add: Thanks for the link on how to pronounce that lake name. Lil Guhl appreciated it.
