Now, this is an area that mommy is not very good at. Geology, yes; geography, no. So . . . our goal until Hannah turns 5 is to learn the continents and then focus on each continent and read some of our stories from our Sonlight P4\/5 core that come from that continent. My goal is to actually learn where the countries and such are supposed to be in this world, I’ve always been a little fuzzy in that area. I’m not spending a lot of time looking up data, but just the statistics info on wikipedia for each continent.<\/p>\n

We started off with a world map and I looked up a continent song to try to help Hannah remember them. We’ll keep working on that until we get it down.<\/p>\n

<\/a> This week and next are stories from North America (specifically we have some Native American stories, stories from Mexico, and stories from Puerto Rico). We also did a North America map. According to Wikipedia, there are supposed to be 23 countries but I think we only managed to get about 16 on our map. Those little island countries are tiny (and some of them I didn’t even know existed)! Also, mommy learned that Iceland is part of Europe, not North America. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Today Hannah was disappointed we didn’t have another map to color. (Even though she complained about coloring the other two.) We have South America next, but not for a couple weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
