American History, Snoopy Style

"This Is America, Charlie Brown" DVD went well with our year in American history. It was a fun way to review some of the facts we learned. Here is a list of topics covered:

Mayflower Voyagers
Birth of the Constitution
Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk
NASA Space Station
Building of the Transcontinental Railroad
Great Inventors
Smithsonian and the Presidency
Music and Heroes of America

This DVD is out of print so to speak, so we checked it out of our local library.

Discover America Series

The Discover America State by State

A favorite book series about the United States. Would be great if you are traveling or learning about each state. We are using it with Adventures in My Father's World curriculum. Also great gift idea for your child's friend who is moving to another state. Beautifully illustrated and great historical text in addition to the shorter poem on each page. Each state has it's own book - G is for the Garden State is a book about New Jersey.

I wish our library had them all. The librarian in me wants to collect them ALL. Maybe used? I am going to list them all on my Paper Back Swap account.
