geography & dances

We finally put up the large markable wall map that came with our Sonlight materials!  Yesterday, the kids had fun adding countries we've already read/learned about the past few weeks.  They "argue" over who gets to star/mark the next country.  :)

This picture only shows the countries in Africa we've read about...

• Togo - country where the Abeku tribe resides and doesn't have a Bible in their own language (yet)
• Congo (K's writing)- country where last week's missionary story took place
• Egypt - country where this week's missionary story took place

Today we read about celebrations, festivals and dancing in other religions/countries and watched online videos about Flamenco (Spain), Cossack (Russia), Hindu (India), Kabuki (Japan) dances and other instruments played around the world (bagpipes, sitar, etc).

As the first video played (a Flamenco dancer), K told me the dancer's dress was inappropriate (most of her back was showing).  I smiled and assured her she was right.  When the bottom of the dress was shown a few seconds later (it was very long), K said, "The front is appropriate."  :)
