History With the Magic Treehouse Series Books 5-8

If you love reading, adventure, and solving mysteries, then come and join us as we walk through history with Jack and Annie. 

Each week, I will post a recording onto the classroom page a recorded lecture where we will explore the setting (ancient Japan, the Amazon Rainforest, the Ice Age, and the moon), the differences and similarities between what the characters experience and what really happened, discuss the plot, create a story map, and complete a craft. Learners will be responsible for reading the book on their own.
