A Pioneer Sampler : The Daily Life
I love this book! Use it for a wonderful study of pioneers in early America. Follow the Robinson family for an entire year of daily living, including churning butter, predicting the weather, building a log cabin, maple-sugaring, finding a honey tree, fishing, sheep-shearing, spinning, weaving, cornhusking, telling the time by the sun, using vegetable matter to dye clothes, and much, much more. Stories, hands-on projects, and recipes are included to make this a super history study! Paperback, 240 pages, for ages 5 to 12 years. Highly recommended! |
