wy_kid_wrangler04 28 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Our pathetic little library has 2 books :glare:. Neither are worth checking out. I thought I had resources but after looking on all 12 bookshelves I have none. :001_huh: Im lost. Any fun/interesting websites? Anybody have any decent resources to recommend? (anybody have any they are selling? I am going to the for sale board now but thought I might slip this in :blush:) Help I am lost on this! Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imhim 12 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I remember seeing some articles in the NAtional Geographic Magazines (years ago). If your library has the older ones, you may find better (more interesting) things there. Or on their website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Susie in CA 336 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 We have "Amazing Maya Inventions" by Sheri Bell-Rehwoldt. It is a hands-on history book with lots of projects. I haven't used it yet but it looks great. Susie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kates 12 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 www.handsofachild.com has an awesome unit called Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas...each of the cultures is its own unit, can be done as three separate or one large study. Two thumbs up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColoradoMom 10 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I just ordered a novel for my son to read about the Mayans called Middleworld (The Jaguar Stones Series) and it looks pretty fun! I've not read it yet, so can't comment on the content - but if you're loking for a fun addition for reading you should check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sasharowan 89 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I just ordered a novel for my son to read about the Mayans called Middleworld (The Jaguar Stones Series) and it looks pretty fun! I've not read it yet, so can't comment on the content - but if you're loking for a fun addition for reading you should check it out. I just finished this tonight. It is a good book. Some violence. Teen boy anquish and wishing for a girlfriend, but nothing more than "I wish she was my gf." type thing. Suspenseful tension. www.jaguarstones.com is the website with many links to Mayan stuff. They offer a free CD to teachers. I emailed asking if it is available to homeschool teachers. Book 2 comes out Dec. 28. I don't know about historical accuracy, but the feel of the book fit in with what little I know of Mayans and the husband of the husband/wife team that wrote the book grew up in South America.
