Africa
- National Geographic DVD: Swinging Safari
- National Geographic Little Kids book: African Animal Alphabet by: Beverly and Dereck Joubert
- Water for One, Water for Everyone by: Stephen R. Swinburne
- We All Went on Safari by: Laurie Krebs
Morocco
- The Children of Morocco by: Jules Hermes
- The Storytellers by: Ted Lewin
- Mirror by: Jeannie Baker (this one was really neat - it compares the lives of a family in Australia to a family in Morocco)
- We also watched Aladdin - partly because it was helpful so that I could get some work done
- We tried mint tea - you would've thought that I tried to poison X-Man (and I wish I would've had the event recorded!)
We've also been listening to Disney music as we rented a few CDs from our library.
Additional Ideas
We decided to skim a lot of information this week. I think when they're older, I'd love to go back to Disney after a more intensive curriculum. Here's some additional ideas that we just didn't get time to do:- practicing with money
- time (keeping track for shows, etc)
- reading the non-Disney versions of fairy tales and comparing them to Disney versions
- write a new ending to a fairy tale
- write a new fairy tale
- write a dialogue between two characters from two different stories
- practicing reading maps
- looking for spiritual applications in movies/stories
- creating packing lists
- creating foods from various countries
- physics and magnetism - how rides work
Thanks for reading - "See ya real soon!"
