The Ancient Mayans were incredibly interesting to study. We completed a lap book, a Mayan dig and made some Mayan pottery.
The Mayan part of their lap book:
The findings from our Mayan dig:
And clay pottery and painting Mayan style:
Tomorrow I will post about our Aztec study
Looks like fun! We love lapbooks, we’re just working on a Narnia one at the moment.
Lap books are a great tool when writing too much isn’t desirable.
We used to do quite a few lapbooks. Now, we do more notebooking. I love the pottery. I wish I had done more of that kind of activity when the children were younger.
I think it is great you are getting all of these posts on your blog. You are quite a resource for homeschoolers.
Have a lovely day, Claire.
Thanks Donna. To be honest I put up these posts because I had prewritten them and I didn’t want to do anything after the presentation. I needed to recover
I love your Mayan dig, what great things they found.
Thanks Ticia!
This is really helpful. We’ll be doing explorers this year and the early American people will come up I am sure. Thank you!
No problems!
Where did you get the lapbook? It looks great. Where did you get the items for the dig?
I think the lap book was an Evan-Moor, they tend to be the only ones we used.
The pottery looks fun! Is that a mortar and pestle?
LOL! Yes, I think it is! Fancy you noticing that!
