George Washington History Lesson.

Paul, nine, is working on a daily schedule of Math, Science, Grammar, Literature, and History.  I have textbooks for each subject except History.  That unit should arrive this week.  Meanwhile, we are working on George Washington for Kids.  Paul has been reading every day.  I am not satisfied with reading.  Today we are creating a timeline graph.  There is a timeline of significant dates on the inside cover of the book.  I had him create a timeline on graph paper and a key.  Paul had not graphed a timeline before.  The second activity is Mapping George Washington.  This type of activity reinforces an understanding of adjacent states and puts his life in perspective.
