Walk Thru History Project 2010 - "Rudiments of America"

Our local homeschool group organizes a "Walk Thru History" each year and we finally jumped in to participate back in the spring. It was a nice way to cover a bit of American History, while also giving the girls an opportunity to work together to meet a deadline and complete a "project". Our theme was "Rudiments of America" - covering Presidents, Charters of Freedom, and a few other noteworthy events and people that helped shaped our nation.






With the exception of the Presidents photos which came from the Whitehouse website, most of our pics were selected from our Homeschooling In the Woods Timeline Figures CD Collection. (This is a fabulous resource and useful for much more than just timelines!)

All in all, the girls had a great time doing their project and were very pleased with the finished product. All of the participants did a fabulous job and I was very impressed with the knowledge and creativeness of our homeschoolers!
