We will be wanting to pad these State studies out with read-alouds, as well as craft ideas and all that fun stuff that makes homeschooling, well, fun :)
So...any children's books you think would add to the adventures along each State, please share.
I know many of you are avid Charlotte Mason, Five in A Row, Sonlight, etc. educators, and really have a great list of reading resources. If you come across books that will add to the interest and learning adventures of our States, will you send us a note? I'll add them under each State as we go along.
Put on your thinking caps, ladies, and let me know what stories you really enjoy!

Hi! I'm not sure exactly which states your looking for, but my children and I are reading through the "Little House" series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. We live in Wisconsin, and the first book "Little House in the Big Woods" tells us a lot about what life was like in our state during that time. We're currently reading "Farmer Boy", the childhood story of Laura's husband, Almanzo Wilder. He grew up on a farm in New York state. Then, of course, the rest of the series delves into the pioneer days as families traveled west. My children are still quite young, and these books have been a good introduction to our American heritage for them.
Blessings to you!
Tiana
