We did the standard flag and map work. We read books about Nigeria and read literature selections too. E did a five paragraph report on the country. One of the things that surprised me was that the boys really had a good time using our African instruments to reenact a tribal dance. They built a fire and took off their shirts and one would dance while the other would beat the drum and then they'd switch. They had a great time doing this.
I'm not sure the fire is authentic, but it was a nice touch to have the glow of the lightsaber. :)
We painted an african village scene inspired by african hut craft
An we tried to keep little Mr. entertained. (I had to get him in here somehow!)
It was a good week back from Christmas Break.
