Canada

WELL I have been a bit lax in taking pictures lately, we have been studying SO HARD. We are just wrapping up our study on Canada which will conclude our geography lessons for North America and we will be moving onto South America next week, starting with Brazil. We have been playing geography and math games. Concentrating mostly on math because I feel we have catching up to do in that subject. Science has consisted of food chains, forests, north american animals and the like. Hopefully I will have time to take more pictures in the coming weeks. Here are a few of the kids playing their games from last week.
