So, I have come up with a great idea in having Daniel report to me all learned material.
He is in charge of making this newspaper.
On this day, he dressed up as a gentleman from the civil war times and started writing about reporting the Battle of Bull Run, Antietam and Gettysburg as well as the assassination of Lincoln.
We had lots of fun so I decided to even go further and print more on the most relevant battles along with the Women of the Civil war. While reading the book "The Magic Tree House" Civil War on Sunday we found a chapter on Clara Barton and we wanted to include it in our learning pages.
The Civil war is very extensive as any history you will teach to children but it is very important to have the kids research and find pictures of the actual events and relevant people rather than clip arts.

We love making lap books and it has proven to teach my son all the way. I am very happy.
However I feel he needs to integrate a few more things like computer skills.
I have him to an Interactive Journal for every Subject.
For History he is to search the web for actual pictures and glue them.
You can also adapt this to a lap book if you wish it.
