Finished up China...moving on to South Korea

Well...we took about 3 1/2 weeks to finish our study of China. The girls learned so much. We spent our last day making a lapbook on Tigers. We learned quite a bit about them.

Here are the girls lapbooks they made. Hannah made one too ....but I am not sure where she was when I was taking shots of them.

We used the Draw. Write. Now. book to learn how to draw a tiger.

We also used encyclopedias that I bought for $1 at the Library book sale to look up different kinds of tigers.

Both the girls had projects that they had one week to do and present on Friday. Hannah's was on the Chinese New Year. She told us that this was the year of the Rat. She told us how they know when the New Year is based on what phase the moon is in.

Mikayla's project was on the animals of China. She had to color all the animals. We looked them up in the encyclopedia to see what color they were. Even though the encyclopedias are ancient...it was great practice in researching...and alphabetizing.
