Apples to Oregon

For co-op last week, we read Apples to Oregon, the almost true story of a family that moved west using the Oregon trail.  They took fruit trees with them in their wagon filled with dirt.  It was a humorous tall tale, although families moving west to Oregon was true.  We studied apples, Johnny Appleseed and touched on the Oregon Trail.  This week we are going more in depth with the Oregon Trail because our Moving West history pocket this week is the Oregon Trail.  Anyway, here are pictures of our small lapbook.



We cut apples in half and used them for apple printing.  This is what we used for the cover of our lapbook.  Nicolas's is on top and Alex's is the bottom.



The inside of the book.  The Parts of a wagon page is a flap that lifts.  Underneath is:



Nicolas's copywork.

The back of the book we glued our map of the Oregon trail.
