MFW HH button

 Welcome to our ‘Week 9 in Review’ using Exploring Countries and Cultures in My Father’s World!

 

This week’s schedule was packed full of fun and family time!  In fact, we did very little school beyond language arts, math, start a Rain Forest lapbook, and watch a few movies about the Rain Forest.

Science Focus this week:

We headed to South America into the tropical rain forest.

  1. I loved the layers of the rainforest lapbook and the fingerprint art work. Where do you get most of your lapbooks? I've tried a few in the past from a couple sites and they haven't been a huge hit in my house, but I love your lapbooks.

  4. Your blog inspires me with so many ideas -- I love it! Thanks for posting the links from 1+1+1. When I get more time I really want to check out all of your Outdoor Hour posts. My kids would really be interested in participating in that.
