Great American Postcard Swap: Louisiana

October 5, 2010 by Anne Campbell Leave a Comment

We’re participating in the Great American Postcard Swap with other homeschool families, sending out postcards all over the country, and hopefully receiving 50 in all!

Some facts about Louisiana:

  • The Louisiana Tourism site has tons of stuff–Louisiana should be called the festival state, as it hosts celebrations for everything from jazz,cotton, shrimp, and gumbo to sugarcane and crawfish!
  • Food and music go hand-in-hand in Louisiana. We listened to some chank-a-chank here, since we aren’t able to go to Mulate’s in person right now. My sister-in-law,  who has Cajun roots, has a cousin who is in a chank-a-chank band!
  • We learned some Cajun history and printed out this unit study.
  • The movie Belizaire the Cajun taught us a  great deal more about Cajun history:
  • For my younger state fact learners, Thacher Hurd’s Mama Don’t Allow is a fun romp through the swamp with an animal band-lively illustrations provide inspiration for some coloring fun. Crank up some jazz and pull out the pastels!

Laisez les bons temps rouler!
