We are really starting to get into and look forward to our study of a different country each month. We're studying Sweden in February after studying Russia in January. We had fun with Russia and now Sweden looks equally fun.
January---Russia Month
---We watched a video about Russia, colored the flag, learned about their schools, and ate Russian food including: Chicken Kiev, Vinegret Salad (carrots, potatoes, and beets), Pirozhki and Deviled Eggs. It was delicious.
February---Sweden Month
---We've begun our journey with a video (our library has a bunch of these about different countries. They are from the viewpoint of a child from that country and my boys are really enjoying them)
---We've discussed the flag, but we still need to color it
---Swedish Menu---not sure yet, but husband is pushing for a Swedish smorgasbord! A little bit of everything.
---Schools and Everyday life of a Swedish child---have books to read about these and the Internet is an excellent source of info.
---This time we are also going to read a short biography of Queen Christine (I hope I spelled this correctly).
---And of course with the Olympics this month we plan on keeping track of not only the US, but the 3 countries we've already studied: Germany, Russia and Sweden! This is going to be fun.
