There is no other place I’d rather be than teaching and learning with my girls. The freedom that comes with homeschooling allows me to pursue opportunities to travel and learn as much as we can while experiencing things first hand! Welcome to our blog about planning our next big adventure, the Lewis and Clark Trail! The three of us girls plan on a 40+ day adventure of learning all we can about the biology, botany, geography, geology, economics, and civics (and more) associated with the Corps of Discovery journey of 1804-1806. Join us on our journey!

Lesson Planning from Lewis and Clark: The National Bicentennial Exhibition

The website for Lewis & Clark: The National Bicentennial Exhibition has some excellent lesson planning information.
The information ranges in level from fourth grade through twelfth grade.
Themes included:
Preparing for the Trip
Politics and Diplomacy
Mapping
Indian Women
Animals
Languages of the Indians
Warriors and Soldiers of the time
Trade and Property
Plants

I will definitely be revisiting this information.  I think we will dedicate a minimum of one week to each of these topics as we near the trip.  I’m thinking of this as our schedule of studies (2015):
Jan 1-17                     Preparing for the Trip
Jan 18-31                   Politics and Diplomacy
Feb 1-14                    Mapping
Feb 15 - Mar 14         Indian Studies/Women/Languages/Warriors
Mar 15-28                  Trade and Property
Mar 29 - April 18        Animals and Plants of the Trail
