Winter Promise

So i have had the wonderful opportunity to do a curriculum review of Winter Promise's new branch called Spirited Autumn Hope. I asked for the ebooks on Africa being that it is the continent we are studying this semester and most likely the entire year.

If you don't know about Winter Promise curriculum check it out here...Winter Promise.
Or check out Spirited Autumn Hope...Spirited Autumn Hope.

We were given three curriculum style ebooks to try.
Children Around the World
Draw your own World:Africa
Animals and thier Worlds: African Savannah Wildlife

It was a lot to copy...and being that Pipiri is younger I knew each ebook would take much longer than 5 weeks. 

I printed them all and hole punched them ......and put each in a three ring binder. 

Animals and their Worlds: African Savannah Wildlife

Draw Your Own World Africa

Children Around the World Africa

 The ebooks all come with study overviews and national geography standards. 

The above photos show what lovely colored pictures are given to you in their ebooks. Very bright!! Which is so nice...Pipiri loves the different illustrations. 

The above is a guide from Animals and their Worlds. It lists exactly what pages to use for each specific day. It also gives wonderful resources to use...books to check out and sites you can utilize for more information. I find that it keeps me super organized! 

Here are a few books we have been using to go along with our studies. 

The above is an example from Animals and their Worlds. As you can see super bright colors are used...

The above shows a sketch from Draw your own World. Which we have really enjoyed! Finding different countries and waterways of Africa. 

We got out all of our wooden animals as we began to read Animals and their Worlds. 

I would definitely have your globe handy for all three of these ebooks. Amazing how easy it is now for her to name the continents and know how to spell them all. 

We made beeswax continents! Order Beeswax here. Super fun and easy. We found that by putting the beeswax in hot water for a few minutes makes it much easier to mold. 

Spirited Autumn Hope has been a fanatastic way to dive in and learn more about Africa! 

We always look forward to learning more and more after Christmas!
