We are using "New World Explorers" by Homeschool in the Woods and our first lesson has been about WHY explorers wanted to explore. Part of the curriculum is to make a lapbook and our first item is a little booklet called "Reasons for Exploration." We had a lot of fun gluing things in our booklet to represent each of the 5 "Reasons."
Last week, we made spice cookies. Some explorers were trying to find a safer sea route to get to the spices they desired because the Silk Route had become too dangerous. Alexandra loved the cookies and I thought they were horrible. :-) But, we both had fun making them! What a fun start to our study!
