For the cover the girls each choose an image from the American Girl Website’s Wallpaper selections, cropping and pasting it to the front of their covers. They then cut out the year “1774” with the help of our Cricut to add to the front cover as well.

The girls have moved on and are now studying the American Revolution with the boys, in addition to working on a Josefina Unit Study/Lap Book.
I am loving all your posts. Especially the birthday party. Happy Birthday to your son and kudos to you for a very very cool birthday party for him.
I LOVED the cake!
Wonderful lapbbok. We plan on doing an American girl study with our American History lessons next year.
Hi Jessica,
This is great! Looking forward to using your ideas next year. Do you think the Portraits of American Girlhood book is worth the money? Just wanted your opinion. Wish I could preview it. Thanks again!
God bless,
Amy
