History Pockets Moving West
History Pockets will help your study be much more memorable with easy activities that make a wonderful portfolio of work when you are done. I've scheduled this History Pockets book to be used at a leisurely pace throughout this and eight more topics.

Even though this book says it's for grades 4-6, I believe it is adaptable from 3rd grade through 8th.
