My third grader and I are doing the Early American History Study by Beautiful Feet<\/a>. We just finished our first unit in the guide\u2014Leif Erikson. We read the book, Leif the Lucky<\/a> through two or three times, just because we enjoyed it so much. It’s not only well written, but has great illustrations, and that makes a book a win-win for an early elementary student. We also had lots of fun researching online about Vikings and Native Americans that Leif may have met.<\/p>\n

Ace made a lapbook to show some of the things that he learned about Leif Erikson. Here are a few pictures.<\/p>\n

So far so good, as far as the Beautiful Feet Guide. What a nice pick of books they have made for this age group.\u00a0Next comes Columbus, but first we are working on finishing up a science project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
