We are continuing our study on Mexico. I have brought out my Mexican Blanket and we sit on this for devotions and reading time. I also have a chicken from Mom that reminds me of a trip to Mexico where we ended up in a restaurant (outdoors) where the chickens were walking around right by the tables. So I told the girls this story and now we "hide" the chicken every day for them to find.
We have also started playing a geography game. Right now we are working on learning all of the countries in North American. The girls are getting pretty good at this and I have learned the names as well. Study a map before you decided to play this with them. As we study other continents, we will be learning the names of most (not all) the countries. This is something Scott has played with them too, which is good.
Our Bible Verse this week is Matthew 4:19
Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
Anna was excited about this verse as she remembered learning it for Sunday School last year. The girls also got new bibles at church on October 4th. Our church gives all kids children's bibles at age 3 and than a more advanced bible in Grade 3. They are excited about having their own bibles and now read the Bible selection for the day.
We are continuing our Animal study and this week learned more about Bears. They are really enjoying this book.
We continued working on our Pinatas. They are a slow messy process..... But here is the end result:
The girls enjoyed breaking one and we are saving the other for when we have friends over.
In Science, we are continuing to study Deserts. Did you know there are hot and cold deserts? We have made a list of the differences and mapped the major deserts.
We also reviewed some Spanish words, in addition to their normal Spanish lessons. Choco, our friend in the picture, helps us with Spanish. Choco is a puppet and the girls love them and always want me to "be Choco".
We are supposed to have a fiesta at the end of our travels. I think we will be making fajitas one night and call it a day. But, if you have any good Mexican recipes send them my way!
Update: Scott decided to make us a Fiesta one night. We started out with homemade Guacomole (Anna's favorite of the meal) and Salsa.
Next we had some cheese and sauce thing in a tortilla. Scott had a name for it, but I have forgotten:
Next up was stuffed peppers:
The last course (Emma's favorite) was tacos.
