Layers of Learning Unit 3-12 begins with the history of early American settlements.  We include Jamestown, the Pilgrims, the Wampanoag, and King Philip’s War.  Then, in geography, study the modern countries of Peru & Bolivia and learn about the special highlights of those countries.  Next, learn about sedimentary rocks, erosion, and the formation of coal.  In Native American art, make drum and canoe models, watch dances, learn about native homes, and try your hand at leather working.  You’ll learn about this time period in a rich, deep way with the books from the book list and the accompanying hands-on projects.

In each unit you’ll find a recommended library list, important background information about each topic, and lots of activities to choose from for kids of all ages.  Sidebars include a bunch more ideas including Additional Layers, Fabulous Facts, On The Web, Writer’s Workshop, Famous Folks, and Teaching Tips.  Printable maps and worksheets are included with each unit and may be printed as often as needed for your family or class.
