Sacagawea

So after reading about Sacagawea in a "Fancy Nancy" Book, the girls became really interested in her so we went to the library and got a bunch of Sacagewea books to try and learn more about her. It was a lot of fun and at the end of the week after reading lots and lots about her, I told the girls they could pretend to be Lewis and Clark and go on expedition to learn all about the "new land". They were excited about playing along but they both decided they needed to be Sacagewea so we strapped their babies to their backs (Maddi opted for the baby car seat), and with their "journals" in hand they set out into the wilds of our backyard (there are some pretty interesting parts of our backyard!) They each had little bags to collect the things they found and when they were all done we put everything on a long piece of paper so they would report their findings to President Jefferson (aka Mommy). It was a fun and easy little project and it cracked me up listening to Maddi walk around saying "Sacagig-jwea".
