November 17, 2008 - Lewis & Clark Lapbook
We have completed a simple lapbook about the Lewis and Clark Expedition, mostly gathered from free sources at Homeschool Helper Online. We also found free coloring pages found here.
I had a hard time convincing Sprite to actually include Lewis and Clark on the cover of the lapbook. I reminded her that it's not called the Sacajewa Expedition! As you can see, the Shoshone guide made a huge impression on her. I have to agree. What an amazing girl. She was just a teen, sold as a slave then married by the man who won her in a card game! She gave birth to her son during the trip and carried him on her back throughout the thousand mile trip. Wow! What a woman!
Entire set of photos at Flickr is here.

We even have a lake called Sacagawea here in our town. It's truly a fascinating story, and living in Washington/Oregon my whole life we obviously get a whole lot of Lewis and Clark info taught to us.
Oh, and I linked to the HSB awards on my blog...hope you win!

I have to agree with your daughter. I absolutely love Sacagawea's story. I especially love that she found her tribe/family again because of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. She was an amazing woman.

Hi my name is sylvia and I "lurk" on your blog and love it! I am a homeschooler with and Anthropology degree so there is lots for me to enjoy on your blog. anyway, I have never tried a lapbook by was inspired by this to try the lewis and clark one with my 9yr. old daughter. We get to l and c this week in history and she is report resistant but loves art so I thought this might work. Thanks for inspiring me to try!
