China

In honor of Chinese New Year we spent the month studying China. We found some great books at the library and a few sites online. The girls especially enjoyed getting dressed in red for Chinese New Year. We didn't make it to the Children's Museum because of colds, but we managed to have fun.

I also decided to let Charry make a report, orally since she doesn't write much yet (she's only five). So I got out my camera and the world map, called her over and started filming. "So where is China?" I ask. "I don't know," she answers looking at the map as though she had never seen it before. But in the end she did really learn a lot. (And I let her decide on the title and credit colors and words. I'm glad I got a mention)
