We’re really simplifying this year. You can see our Game Plan here. Also check out our U.S. Capitals State Tour.
Here are activities I found when we did Cycle 3 last time. In additional to the books listed, I also suggest checking out the books associated with this week’s Geography here.
Note that Weeks 23 and 24 are memorizing the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, respectively. You may want to adjust your plans accordingly.
