Meet Josefina

We finished up our study of Kaya and now we are moving on to Josefina.

Josefina represents the history of New Mexico.  She lives with her father and older sisters.  Josefina's mother has passed away, and Josefina feels lost without her.

We will be studying New Mexico and some basic Spanish vocabulary.  Our crafts will include an appliqued treasure box, glass-bead necklaces, and a coil pot.  The ideas for these crafts are from Josefina's Craft Book.

Here are some of the books that we will be using.

Here are a few fun links to games for Josefina.

This looks like a great study.  We have not done an official study on New Mexico yet.  While we were looking though our Eat Your Way Through the USA cookbook, we discovered that in New Mexico they make a Milky Way cake so we just might have to add that to our list of enrichment activities.
