Alex and the other 4th graders in our co-op finished up their Indiana History notebooks yesterday - with the exception of a trivia page they will do in 2 weeks. Here is the last semester's entries into the notebook:
We talked about our crops - soybeans, corn, tomatoes; the things we mine - limestone; the cars we produce.
We talked about some of the car producers - Auburn, Cord, Deusenberg - and had to cancel a field trip to the museum because of weather.
We talked about Indiana Government and who our elected officials are.
Who can talk about Indiana History without talking about the Indy 500 track?
And lastly, some major weather catastrophes in Indiana, including a couple that hit close to home - the Blizzard of 1978 and the Palm Sunday tornados of 1965.
This turned out very well! :-) What a wonderful keepsake these kids have.
