Where is the World??

One of my goals in curriculum choices is to give the kids a world view- who they are and where they are; why we are here starting from the ground up! Well, that is that aim! So we are doing a geographical overview of the countries, peoples and cultures of the world. So far we have looked at the main features of North, Central and South America. We have done various map, art and craft work, and some culinary pursuits too! By the end of the year I hope to be in a place where we can look towards learning about Australia; our new home :)

These books are our starting points, along with the usual atlas, globes, DVDs - love the library!

For those of you who didn't see these on facebook, here is our Brazilian Feast that we had on Friday night. It was delicious. The kids loved it; it bought back many good memories from my time there, we will certainly be doing it again!

Mmmmm, Feijoada in the making! With Brazilian soft drink and music :)

Yu-u-u-u-u-my!

It doesn't look like much food on the table, but we ate A LOT!

I am looking at a few books to help us learn Portuguese - wish us luck!
