The Books:
We began by reading B is for Blue Crab and then Bean used the information she learned to make a notebook page for her United States scrapbook.
Also, Bean read Kat Finds a Friend, which is a sweet chapter book that tells a story about St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.
Waterman's Child and By the Dawn's Early Light: The Story of the Star-spangled Banner were also on the list, but apparently I forgot to take a picture of our books for this week!
Finally, we taught the kids about Maryland using the Our United States of America: Catholic Social Studies textbook.
The Food:
For the Blue Crab State we had Maryland crab cakes!
Yes, these were store bought. Sometimes we are just going for the effect.
The Craft:
Inspired by Family Crafts, we made egg carton blue crabs. Most people thought they were spiders, but that's okay.
Our next state is South Carolina!
