History Pockets

Monday, November 07, 2005


Today we are starting on a workbook I found at Barnes and Noble called "History Pockets: Colonial America"

Its nice in that it has some good get-started directed exercises and will be nice as a run up to Thanksgiving. Am thinking about then taking Q to Plimoth Plantation (Plymouth Rock on the coast of MA) to do the pilgrim re-enactment thang.



Check out this image, I think I want to be a part of this! Hmm.. Maybe we will dress up for this thanksgiving!



They have a great online section called "You are the Historian" where you can explore this time period.



They also have this amazing "Educator's Resource Pack" thats $15.04.

Other packs can be found here.

Tell me if you have found other good unbiased interactive stuff on this theme (online or off) for the 4-8th grader range!)

  • I must encourage you to make the trek to Plimoth Plantation...you won't be disappointed. It is one of the most amazing living history museums we have ever seen! Enjoy!

  • Thanks!! We will, I just wish it were closer. True, we live just a few miles from Old Sturbridge Village but we have done that time period MANY TIMES now! :-) I am looking forward to Plimoth Plantation.
