Our history plans for next year focus on the Middle Ages; however, we will also read picture books as an overview of early American history. I have arranged some books from our home library in a loose chronological order and we have started with our first one in this series: Jamestown, New World Adventure by James Knight.
Side Note: I found a really neat Jamestown related online game at National Geographic Kids called: On the Trail of Captain John Smith. I think JB will enjoy the site. (I haven't previewed it entirely, but did spend some time looking around and going through the beginning of the adventure myself, so preview before using it with your own family.)

- Pocahontas
- If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620
