Week 1: Slavery
We will spend the entire first week reading through ...If You Lived When There Was Slavery in America. I love the "...If You Lived..." books. They are packed full of information and still interesting for the kidlets.

We will be using this book (I have an ebook copy) to make the lapbook at Homeschool Share.com.

Looks great! If your library has it, you might enjoy the book "Who Owns the Sun?" for your slavery portion.
