Posted in Book Units (other than FIAR)
For the rest of the month of January we will be learning about pioneers in our home! There is just a WEALTH of information out there on this subject -- books, discussions, activities, crafts, recipes, etc. The individual lessons I will be taking from the FIAR manuals and the HSS units that are listed below.
Here are the books and activities I've chosen for us to do with our pioneer unit!

Activities and Crafts
*Play with Lincoln Logs - we don't have these at our house yet, so I bought some to give to the kids for this unit! I think they will love them!
*Make corn husk dolls (if you google directions you will find some fairly simple ones online)
*Make butter by shaking cream in a babyfood jar
*Make beeswax candles
*Make a log cabin by gluing pretzel sticks onto a cardboard house frame
*I was also hoping to get the girls bonnets, but I have not ordered any yet
*make cornbread for dinner one night
*find all the quilts in our home and look in detail at them - notice patterns, discuss who made them, why they are special to us
*use pattern blocks to make our own quilt patterns
*watch Little House shows, I also have the Little House Christmas dvd for us to watch -- of course we will be noting differences in our lives compared to theirs
