Slowly but surely we’re getting back into a routine, and I’ve gradually added our geography back into the mix. And what a fun country to start back with: Australia!
In addition to our usual activities (notebooking the country map and the flag, Children Just Like Me, etc.), I was able to throw in a few fun extras.
We read a Magic Treehouse book.
We drew koalas using the promotional video from Mark Kistler’s online art school. (The Homeschool Buyers Co-op is running a fantastic deal this month on a subscription to his lessons [$40/year/family].)
We decorated boomerangs (print out from Expedition Earth), cut them out, and pasted them to cardboard. After looking at a couple of examples of boomerang designs on the internet, we concluded that an animal goes in the middle (kangaroo or lizard) and a dot-design fills the outside ends.
Then, we finished the week by watching Coral Reef Adventure on Netflix and completing a notebooking page (I’m learning to make my own! Future post idea for sure.)
The arrival of Littlest has us behind in geography, but all that means for us is we’ll be taking our adventure into the summer (and my original plans of U.S. geography will have to be postponed.) Next stop: South America!
