Traveling to China

Well...not technically. But we are starting our third week of school and after our two week intro to maps and geography we are going to study China.


The girls have also been learning about the Olympics, and this last week had great fun making paper dolls we printed off from Making Friends. And no picture session would be complete without some sort of silly faces.

Up for our first week:

• locating and mapping China
  
• talking about rivers (Yangtze River)
  
• studying the flag of China
• reading the Story of Ping and drawing ducks
• learning about several missionaries: Gladys Alward, Lottie Moon, and Isobel Kuhn
  
• learning a few words in Chinese {yes & no, hi & bye, counting to 10}
