Right now we are knee-deep in our Lewis and Clark study with Paths of Exploration. I have written before about how much we are enjoying Paths of Exploration this year. We are particularly enjoying the Lewis and Clark study. I really had no idea how important their exploration of the west was to our country. I hope that I can convey this to my children, so 30 years from now they aren’t like me thinking “did we even talk about this in school?”!
Learning about Lewis & Clark
I’m asking the kids to come up with a project that they can work on together to wrap up their Lewis and Clark study in a few weeks. We recently went to the library and picked up a handful of books, and we have been investigating some other resources available on the web. I thought I’d share them here.
Books:

Lewis and Clark for Kids – Their Journey of Discovery with 21 Activities – a book about their journey as well as craft ideas such as a recipe for fruit leather, ideas for tracking animals, and make your own moccasins
Dog of Discovery A Newfoundland’s Adventures with Lewis and Clark – the journey of Seaman, the dog that accompanied Lewis and Clark.
Who Was Sacagawea?
Cooking on the Lewis and Clark Expedition – a simple cookbook featuring recipes that York would have prepared along the trail. The Cherry Sauce would be great over vanilla ice cream!

very cool. M Lewis is in my family tree. I will be saving this page.
How neat! I think I would learn a ton from that study myself:) Learning right along with my kids is one of my favorite things about homeschooling!
Wow! Thanks for sharing all the links. I often find myself asking the same thing, “Did we even learn this in school?” My guess is, probably NOT! Glad you are all enjoying learning. I am excited to crack open our books. I am really impressed by the Handbook of Nature book. Awesome resource.
Thank you for sharing! I am really interested in Paths of Exploration for next year. Everything I hear about this program has been positive! We actually read a few books on Seaman during our dog study. My boys were very taken with his story. Off to check out the links!

Thanks for the resources. I’d like to add on to the list: David Adler, who wrote the Picture Book of Lewis and Clark, also wrote a book on Sacagawea.
