The second Asian country we "visited" was South Korea, and we were pleased to learn so many things about this country. We practiced saying Hello in Korean, and Little V got to say it to a Korean friend. Our friend was so happy to hear hello in her own language. We always try to learn how to pronounce and spell Jehovah's name in the language of the countries we "visit" as well.
It was very interesting to learn about Seoul and some of the nice features that city has, such the underground mall, the biggest subway system and much more. We got to learn a little bit more about Eve-R 1 the female robot developed in South Korea.
* I'm sorry I did not take any pictures while Little V was doing her South Korea activities.
Japan
Our third Asian country was Japan! What a surprise it was to know that Japan is pretty much a mountainous country and that they have hundreds of volcanoes. Japan also has an average 1500 earthquakes recorded each year.
Some of the fun activities we did for Japan was:
Kokeshi doll cards: we used crayons, carstock, sharpie and washi tape. I'm a lover of handmade things and I love making greeting cards, so when I saw these cards online I knew we had to make some.
Little V loves dolls, so she got to make a Japanese paper doll that I downloaded from educents.com .
She also got to learn how to say so e colors in Japanese and colored those carps above with the directions in Japanese,
As mentioned before, we finish the week with a quiz that I developed based on the one from the Expedition Earth Curriculum, but because I want her to focus on answering the questions rather than on how to spell the words, I make each week a multiple choice quiz for her.
I'm so grateful that I get to spend time with my little one and learn tons of things with her, our journey through the Homeschooling years is getting more and more excited! What are the new things you have been learning in Geography? We would love to hear form you!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
