Case in point: yesterday’s study of the Strait of Magellan. In Sprite’s proofreading practice (Evan Moor Daily Proofreading, grade 6) she came across strait […]

Ancient Egypt Hands-on and Printables

October 14, 2010 By Jimmie Quick 9 Comments

Wrapping Up the 50 States Notebook

July 16, 2010 By Jimmie Quick 10 Comments

We have been studying American history for a long time now. (I first posted about this notebook in October of 2008.) After the American Revolution, when the colonies became states, Sprite began her 50 States Notebook. My idea was to add each state as it entered the Union chronologically.
