First Grade–Week 28 (Ancient Africa)



This last week we talked about Ancient Africa in History. 
In addition to SOTW (Story of the World) with Pandia Press
We watched:
Wishbone Season 1, Episode 6 Bark that Bark, which contained African-American folktales ("Anansi the Spider" and "The People Could Fly") on Youtube.
and on Netflix we watched a few episodes of Lost Kingdoms of Africa
We played Mancala – an ancient African game of counting and strategy

You can also get a free Mancala app for your iOS device
For Science/Literature we are working on a Moving Beyond the Page review, so stay tuned for that!
This Week will be continuing with Moving Beyond the Page and for History – Ancient India! 
Some other great books:
