Our Japan Package from Sam and Sophia
We are using Expedition Earth by Confessions of a Homeschooler to go along with our Little Passports Packages.  For this unit we did one lesson a week for 4 weeks.  I also made up some Country cards (this document includes Brazil, Japan, France & Egypt, the first 4 countries from Little Passports)

Trying out some Japanese rice crackers and seaweed.  The crackers were a hit, the seaweed was not. 
We also attended an International Breakfast at our church (and I forgot the camera).  So they tried some Japanese foods there, and had a little class on Origami.

  1. Great job on Japan we stop this country next week:) I tried to print out your country cards as they would go nicely with our note booking pages but couldn't get it formatted correctly is their a method to print these? I am hoping to complete Brazil this week we are tackling a huge art project of the amazon that we are trying to finish up.
