The purpose of this blog is to keep myself organized as well as to help anyone else out there who is struggling with teaching California's history with out a good curriculum. I want my son to really have a firm understanding of our state and how we came to be here. I don't want the same old boring history and complicated projects that are beyond his grasp. I want this to be a year of exploring and hands on learning. Let's not just read about it - let's go see it! Let's live it!

Lesson 4 – Paint our Map
Today we will paint our map. You may choose to paint it according to the bioregions or more realistic. The choice is yours. Be sure to add snow to the mountains, important rivers and lakes and any areas that may be important to your family. This is a great time to discuss again where you live, where you vacation, where you camp, where your extended family and friends live etc. and the bioregions of those areas. We chose at the last minute to add in Mexico and the our neighboring states. Make it however you want to. Have fun with this!
