Ships Ahoy!

We started following the Beautiful Feet Early American History reading list last year. We just finished learning about Vikings and Leif the Lucky. We are moving on and studying Christopher Columbus. I found a super little unit study on www.justmommies.com that I pulled some hands on activities from. We will be using "Columbus" by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire as our core book. Please stayed tuned for photos of our completed projects.

For Little Hands time this week, I will be introducing the JUNGLE, the letter B, the number 1, and the color green. We have a few fun projects to do, too. Twizzlers make yummy jungle vines, which is our vocabulary word this week.
