Our Lewis and Clark Lapbook

Our Lewis and Clark lapbooking project is completed! We had a blast and learned so much about these men, the folks that went with them, and their long journey to the Pacific Ocean.

Some neat things we learned about were:

* Clark joined the army when he was 12 years old
* At some points in their travels, they ate dogs to survive
* Learned the "why" to the reason France sold the Louisiana Territory
* The encountered over 20 Indian Tribes
* Only 1 person died during the whole journey
* Lewis purchased Seaman for $20

And so much more!
