Next Stop: Africa

January 5, 2009 by Ami Leave a Comment

Here is what Elijah started today! 


Resources we plan on using
Evan Moor Theme Pockets – September (has a pocket devoted to Africa; all the above items are from this)
Masai and I Unit Study
My Rows and Piles of Coins Unit Study
Cheetah Lapbook
Zebra Lapbook
Ostrich Lapbook
Draw Write Now

I found some fun scrapbook papers (for cheap!) to include throughout the notebook.  I am going to let Elijah decide how he wants to do this. 

Books to Read
Children Just Like Me (portions about African children)
Anansi the Spider
Mama Panya’s Pancakes
(we may even copy, cut, and fold some of this info. for minit books)
Honey, Honey, Lion
Fatuma’s New Cloth
Faraway Home
Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears
African Savanna
(one small square)
Jambo Means Hello
