If you are following what we're doing for Westward Ho!:
This week we've traveled all the way across Nebraska. We've learned about Jim Bridger, rattlesnakes, rifles, blacksmiths, Chimney Rock, and Native Americans. Thomas has almost finished reading Flaming Arrows and I've been reading Pioneer Girl by Andrea Warren for our read aloud time.
The book we're using to learn about explorers is Famous Pioneers by Franklin Folsom. It has short chapters and interesting stories.
Tomorrow we're planning to make cheese!
For Abby's FIAR, we've started Daniel's Duck. We're planning to make molasses cookies tomorrow and we're reading The Cabin Faced West. She had fun yesterday holding up a card with quotation marks on it every time there was dialog in the story.
Here's a picture of Thomas making his Chimney Rock minit book.
