Piwi Explorers: Asia



This year we are using Galloping the Globe as a framework for Geography and History. It is a unit study


approach which is organized by continent. We are taking between 1-2 weeks to go through the activities for each country. I have a plan laid out for a week, but if Miss K takes extra interest in an area of study then we will take extra time to learn more. For example she really loved researching the early exploration timelines so instead of just the planned explorer timeline I also helped her find the images to create one of what early maps looked like through the centuries.

Our first continent is Asia. We began with a Map of Asia which can be colored as we 'visit' each country.
Map is from Galloping the globe text
and a map showing different animals in each region. Mini Piwi also insisted on completing the booklet of Asian Animals....
