Little Passports #2 - Brazil


My  original plan was to cover the country one day a week, but since I got a late start (the idea came to me late), and since we are studying animal habitats this month for science...and Brazil happens to be home to the largest rain forest, I decided to just cover Brazil this week!

As previously mentioned we are using the Confessions of a Homeschool Expedition Earth Curriculum  with the FREE animal curriculum as well.  We are tweaking it a little bit...like order of countries to match our Passport deliveries, and in most cases we will do a lesson a week, a country a month, instead of a lesson a day, a country a week.

Several of the recommended texts can also be bought from my Usborne Books Website 

We made a rain forest diorama (from Expedition Earth)







We were going to make Brigadeiros, but ran out of time this week....will try it out this weekend or next week...so stay tuned! 
For a list of books we read this week, check out my what my child is reading post!
