This class is designed to be a notebook approach to world cultures and geography for the primary student. Using children’s books, we will study nature, folktales, fables, art, poetry, history, and gentle Socratic questions to prompt discussion and discovery. Geographic elements include country maps and flags for students to cut out, paint, or color. Beautiful drawings of indigenous animals familiarize students with some remarkable creatures, cultivating respect and wonder for the natural world. As the student compiles these elements in a journal, they create a memorable keepsake recording all they have learned.

This class will follow the same format as it did last year with new countries to explore:

France, Spain, Holland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, and Chile

(Last year we focused on Asia, Australia, Antarctica, & Africa. This year we will focus on Europe and South America.)

Each unit will conclude with a unique & fun culinary tasting of the country studied.
