GEOGRAPHY

This week we finished our study on Germany. The boys colored a picture of the country of Germany, we read about Europe in our Usborne Geography Encyclopedia, we read about Germany in the "Children's Atlas of God's World," and we did a language activity studying everyday expressions, days of the week, numbers and colors in German, and we learned German words that are used in English! The geography-themed vocabulary words that Ryder learned about this week were ford and meander.

We read about lakes and ponds in Properties of Ecosystems. We also read about freshwater plants and animals and getting oxygen underwater in the Living World Encyclopedia.
