Mid-Atlantic Guide Booklist
Studying the Mid-Atlantic states is a perfect opportunity to learn more about early presidents of the United States.
In our new Playful Pioneers Volume 2 Mid-Atlantic guide we include four weeks of lessons for studying the events surrounding the Revolutionary War and the people who shaped the early documents of America.
Each week you will read from engaging stories, enjoy nature explorations, copy poetry and primary documents, look at art by John James Audubon, make delightful recipes, and work on simple handcrafts.
It's a great addition to any American history study, a fun diversion from more tedious schoolwork, or a perfect intro to literature based learning.
