In the book Pirate Diary Jake mentions he saw a mermaid. So a connection was made to manatees.

It was neat learning about them. We watched the video Sam the Sea Cow. Now dd wants us to adopt one to help save.

I wish we lived closer to Florida and could see one in real life.

Here are our notebook pages.

So now I have 3 weeks of notebooking/lapbooking pages put on the blog.

I think next time I should try to add a week at a time.

I have to admit I really learned alot these last three weeks. I never knew history could be so much fun!
