American Girl Club

Click on Felicity to see a slideshow

of our American Girls!!!

Would you like to be more hands-on when teaching your kids about American History?  Then this club is for you!!!  As the name of the club suggests, we will MOSTLY be utilizing materials from the American Girl series; however, there will also be experiences that will come from other resources such as visiting the Arlington House at Christmas time, maybe attending a Native American Festival, or how about going to a Civil War ball?  I have been given extended use of tons of American Girl resources by Ms. Deirdre Aycock (Thank you so much!) that includes American Girl craft books, cook books, theater packs, paper dolls, and the accompanying nonfictional books.    

Who:  Anyone interested in American History

When:  Third Tuesday of each month.

Where:  Contact for details.  The members of the club take turns hosting.
