The Great Exchange.  This was an interactive lesson that gave the children a little more information about the exchange of plants, animals, and food between countries, that started in the Americas with the explorers.  The children worked in the computer lab in pairs, and read the info together.  There were two activities that they worked.  They should still have their index card with directions.  The website is http://ww2.mariner.org/exploration/index.php .  This would be a fun website to explore with your child.
