TOG Year 3, Week 4 ~ Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase

Grammar We found some great coloring pages for Lewis and Clark over at Classbrain.com. Here is the Jefferson president card. Madison is also included to save on paper. Building Our Nation had surprising little information about Jefferson or Lewis and Clark, but I typeset what was available. Download here. I am keeping an ongoing list of facts I want Ethan (1st grade) to know each week. We review them often. I will post them here each week. Ethan's Facts to Know: Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States Thomas Jefferson was president for 2 terms During Jefferson's first term he bought land from France known as The Louisiana Purchase. Napoleon was Emperor of France when Jefferson purchased Louisiana Territory Merriwether Lewis and William Clark explored the Louisiana Territory and beyond, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Sacajawea and her husband helped guide Lewis and Clark Dialectic and Rhetoric Zach (dialectic) is learning a minuet by Mozart. We downloaded the sheet music from Piano Street. There are a limited number of free, well known pieces on Piano Street, sheet music and mp3. Here's a video on Youtube with someone playing the piece. We are watching Pride and Prejudice (CFV) as a family for the first time ever, of course I have seen it many times, but the male members usually flee when I put it on, not this time.

My whole family (husband, 2 sons and daughter) watched Pride & Prejudice together this past summer. The boys handled it pretty well ~ ha ha. My hubby actually enjoys these types of chick flicks. I absolutely (((heart))) them. :) Love your posts, as usual. Blessings, Renay in Samoa
