This year we have studied all of the countries in North America, South America, and we have studied Australia and New Zealand. This week started Europe and Asia by studying Russia. During geography I had an idea to make our lesson a little more fun. We are going make a craft and eat a meal from the country or countries we are covering each week.
The meal I made was Beef Stroganoff. It was my first try at it, and lucky for us it was a success. Jacob and Ashlynn have always turned down anything with mushrooms so I was a little nervous, but they loved it. It makes me so happy when my kids try new food.
For the craft I purchased a couple wooden eggs from the local Michaels store. We read about Faberge Eggs, and looked at some pictures. Then Jacob and Ashlynn painted the wooden eggs.
They like craft projects as much as when they were small as long as they get to put their own creative spin on the project.
