Cowboy unit study and lapbook
Last month we did a fun study on cowboys.
Here are the books we read:
A biography of Will Rogers
Armadillo Rodeo (Brett),
C is for Cowboy: A Wyoming Alphabet (Gagliano),
Cowboys (Penner),
Cowboys and Cowgirls: Yippee Yay! (Gibbons),
I Want to be a Cowboy (Liebman),
Why Cowboys Sleep With Their Boots On (Knowlton),
Riding the Range: Western Activities for Kids (Drinkard),
Little Sure-Shot: The story of Annie Oakley (Spinner),
Justin Morgan Had a Horse (Henry, on CD),
B is for Buckaroo: A Cowboy Alphabet (Gleaves),
Bronco Busters (Herzig),
Rodeo (Bellville)
Kickin' up some cowboy fun : 130 activities for cowboys and cowgirls (Cook)
And movies we watched:
Annie Get Your Gun (movie),
All About the Circus & All About Rodeos (movie),
All About Dinosaurs & All About Horses (movie)
Music CD:
All about cowboys for kids (CD)
As usual, the kids spent a lot of time acting like cowboys (and cowgirls) and pretending to be in rodeo events. We had a couple of ropes which they had made at a farm festival last year. I know they are really understanding what we're learning in books when they actually act it out!
Here are the lapbook pictures. Most of this was from Hands of a Child "Cowboys."
