It has been quite the whirlwind of a year. My Kindergartener is finishing his trip around the world. Learning about different cultures has been incredible. At the same time, he learns about the physical geography of a particular region, including ecosystems, fauna, and flora. Though it has been a busy spring, we still found time to travel from Africa to Australia. With just one country as a continent, the overall learning seemed sparse. However, we did include Oceania, which helped to create a fuller unit.
