The second portion of our Explorer’s Unit Study covers Ponce De Leon through Sir Walter Raleigh. As with Part 1 of our study, we did a considerable amount of reading, and our reading resources are listed below.
We didn’t do as many hands on activities with part 2 of this unit. The reasoning being we focused more time on individualized reading and read aloud time.
We finished up our explorer’s notebooks.
We also completed color coded maps of travel routes of various explorer’s .
The majority of our printable resources came from the Explorer Unit Study from Homeschool Share.

After seeing the ships from Unit 1 my daughter had to make one herself. We found the kit in the craft room. We think it was a Christmas present from a couple of years ago. Lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteI still have a couple of covered wagon kits hiding in my craft closet from years ago. I'll be putting those to use in our pioneer unit coming up in a few months.
DeleteI love the reading part, almost as much as the hands on part of the lessons. Thanks for sharing your resource list! It is always great to see what books and dvds you read for your lessons!
ReplyDeleteI have tried leaving a comment twice now and google is not being friendly with me. :) I love that you shared what resources you have used! I think it is important to read several books about a lesson, almost as much as doing a project or activity. :)
ReplyDeleteCommenting on both of my blogs has been weird lately. I changed it to make it easier, and now I get SPAM like wild. There is no happy medium.
DeleteIt really is a great list of resources you collected.
