Travel across the American land, learning about the history and geography of the U.S. Along the way, you’ll discover the cultures of Native Americans, watch colonial merchants and craftsmen, join revolutionaries fighting for independence, tag along with frontiersmen expanding the boundaries of the United States, and forge through new territory with railroad barons and pioneers who conquered the West. As you journey along, you’ll make a lot of memories with another key part of this program -- the Time Travelers Activity series. With these helps, you’ll create three-dimensional history scenes, assemble and play games, make pop-up art, and enjoy activities like making shadow puppets, five-pointed stars, and doubloons. Resources in this program will capture your older student’s interest in “crossing” America. History books take you on the scene and share a lot of detail that will kindle your student’s imagination. Students will also enjoy delving into picture studies of several artists who captured the American spirit on canvas. There’s just so much here!
