HISTORY - EARLY AMERICA: PIONEERS

Grades 4-7 and Homeschool
Sarah Peterson




This bundled product contains everything you need for your unit on the Early American Pioneers.  The terms homesteader and pioneer are often used interchangeably. In the Wild West lesson plans homesteader refers to those settlers traveling west to claim a homestead; the term pioneer refers to those who have actually settled on the frontier. Life as a pioneer was very demanding with many factors contributing to the hardships and dangers they faced. 

This bundle includes my three Early American Pioneers products:

·        Wild West Careers: Pioneers ($5.00 value)
·        Reading Comprehension Passages and Questions ($4.00 value)
·        Pioneers Bingo ($4.00 value)





Buy this bundle and get all three products for only $9.00!
