I did it! This year's outline is done! I read all about Canadian history, but I still feel like I don't know anything. It was interesting to hear Canada's view on the revolution and the war of 1812. The activities with * denotes something Canadian.
It was really neat to make this year's outline and use my own website as my main resource. When there's a link that just says "link" it's not my website, but all the other links are :) Also, this year is the best book from Teri Ebert's Four Year Plan. All the page numbers are from that book, Filling Our Lamps.
