  1. Thank you for that reminder. I will reread my Tree of Life catalog :)
  2. Thank you. Somedays I just wish I could order a box of "Candian History 1" full of read alouds, easy readers, novels, lapbook ideas, crafts, recipes, timelines and maps. Maybe... :001_smile:
  3. Thank you for all your rec. :) Things to look into...
  4. I am looking for some ideas for lapbooks, hands-on activities, etc. esp for history.
  5. I love SOTW, WP, MFW, SL, ... but whatever shall I do about Canadian content for 1700-1850+ ?! I have not found anything that looks as interesting as Homeschool in the Woods, History Pockets, and others that have such fun projects about American history. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
  6. Louisbourg picture book: There Have Always Been Foxes by Maxine Trottier Plains of Abraham read-aloud: Drummer Boy For Montcalm by Wilma Pitchford Hays
  7. Thanks :001_smile: Sometimes I want confirmation or correction. It can be stressful when dc look to me as authority in so many subject areas.
  8. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster is a funny book that teaches the importance of letters and numbers. Lots of funny puns and literary terms.
  9. Are ALL flowering plants angiosperms? Even flowers that grow from bulbs, like crocuses?
  10. I am looking for picture books and chapter books on these two Canadian history topics. Any rec would be much appreciated! :)
  11. How do you handle the study of genes, DNA, dominant and recessive genes, etc? One of dc is very sensitive and I don't want to upset him. We have done an overview of DNA, and he has already begun to compare himself with siblings.
  12. After some research, I have a plan. I thought I would share as it may help others who wish to add Canadian content to SOTW3. Activities: 1. color an Acadian flag 2. map the travels of Acadians after Expulsion of 1755 3. visit local West Pubnico Museum and Historical Village 4. visit Grand Pre 5. eat Rappie Pie Read-Alouds: 1. Evangeline and the Acadians (Robert Tallant) 2. Dear Canada: Banished From Our Home (Sharon Stewart) 3. Our Canadian Girl: Elizabeth (Anne Carter) [4 books] Websites: 1. http://www.virtualmuseum.ca (Acadia:Lifestyle in the Days of Our Ancestors) 2. The Kid's Site of Canadian Settlement: Explore the Communities
