Alaska Salt Map showing major land forms
and marking for major cities.
Starting with geography I read one of my favorite books aloud to the kids as they worked on their salt maps. (The Year of Miss Agnes!) Then, we made our way through life in Alaska studying windchill, rainforest (Queen Charlotte Islands to Kodiak Island), whales, mountain building, salmon migration, bears, Iditarod, native people and the Aurora Borelais. We even played a spirited game of Perils of the Trail.

Adding some color
And, in addition to the 'normal' school routine, we took in our local Renaissance Faire and made Thanksgiving Napkin Holders at Home Depot.
