W.I.L.D Guide - d'Aulaire's George Washington
A Charlotte Mason-inspired book guide for grades K5-6 to follow as you read the book George Washington by Ingri and Edgar d’Aulaire. Their book follows his life from a young boy during colonial times to his role as the nation’s first president, and includes engaging text as well as beautiful illustrations. The W.I.L.D guide provides lessons to dive deeper into the delightful book as we choose topics and ideas from the scheduled reading each day. You will learn about colonial clothing, Revolutionary War drummers, the Rappahannock River, surveying, Colonial Weddings, the Delaware Crossing, the Battle of Bunker Hill, symbols of our country, and so, so much more!
Each day you will read in George Washington as scheduled in the lesson and follow the lesson guide to learn more along with your student! The Student Pages offer a place to record what your students have learned or to explore further with experiments, activities, drawing options, and more!
