| Craft Projects |
| Many of the crafts for the Felicity unit can be found in the Felicity Craft book. |
 This was a great craft for our homeschool group. We had 2nd–6th graders, both boys and girls. Each bookmark was different. We ordered two different books to provide a good selection for both boys and girls. This activity does take some time, assistance, and more than one session. I would recommend the children take 15 minutes 3–4 times a week for six weeks to accomplish this craft.

Supplementing the History Pockets with good non-fiction books makes for a wonderful history compliment to the Girls of American History curriculum. **This item is available from multiple websites at different prices - please see the links below.

| Education Vacations and Day Trips |
| Getting away for an education vacation can be one of the best memory makers for you and your family. Not only will you be enjoying the time together as a family - but your children will love learning. |
 If you live in the east coast area, I highly recommend Colonial Williamsburg during their homeschool weeks.

Mount Vernon |

 Additionally, you can extend your education vacation to include historic Jamestown. (includes archaeological dig site)

 Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown both have FANTASTIC classes, living museum displays, and so much more. They coordinate with Colonial Williamsburg’s homeschool weeks. We actually enjoyed this more than Williamsburg.
