This week we are rowing the book, How to Make a Cherry Pie and See the USA. This is not a FIAR book, but it has all the elements of one! I've been wanting to do a US geography unit study and this book is perfect for it!
Geography: states of the US
History: symbols of USA, how do you celebrate the 4th?
Language arts: copy work, word find, vocab words
Science: US natural resources, manufacturing, measuring tools
Home Ec: how to set the dinner table?
Art: fireworks! map of US
This unit study plus math is all we are doing this week, I really want to spend a proper amount of time on this.
X5 will be doing a mini USA lapbook as well! It will be age appropriate of course.
We've been reading the Pledge of alliance book everyday, hopefully this week he'll have it memorized!
