I had big plans for Japan and Korea, but my plans were thwarted by snow. We could only seem to get the basics done when the kids would somehow get disentangled from my teacher grasp and scoot out the door or sneak up the stairs not to be heard from again until they were hungry. We managed to get maps and flags and read a few books about each country, but the library was having trouble getting the books we ordered on time because of the record snow, so I had to resort to the internet. We used some of the links from the Homeschool Creations posts for that and played Japanese and Korean games online. E enjoyed her book selections: The House of Sixty Fathers by DeJong and If I Perish by Esther Ahn Kim. If I Perish is a true story about a Korean lady who was put in the Japanese prison for 6 years during WW II for her Christian faith and how God moved in her life during that time. Powerful story!
