We are taking a "journey" around the world. Last week we started with Paris, France. The focus is not on Paris alone- but the country of France as a whole- but what better icon is there for a french study?
We are learning a bit about the history of France & how it relates to our own country.
One of our favorite resources is National Geographic Kids at http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/ where you can explore their "Countries of the World" study.
One of our favorite ways to go about these types of studies is to start a new 3 ring binder! We can add mini lapbooks to the binder, and art work or pictures of our work (like the lego eiffel tower).
Any way you cut it- by doing the study this way - the boys really remember what they've learned & have a good time doing it!
