Summer school began last week, with the theme being "Around The World in 80 Days"...except that we only have 20 days of summer school. Last week we focused on maps, countries and capitals, directions, languages, and flags. This week is all about weather, climate, housing, and clothing. We discussed the different seasons, and how the USA and Australia both have 4 seasons, but they're flip-flopped because they're in different hemispheres, and how Thailand only has 3 seasons(summer, winter, and monsoon). We also talked about different building materials, and why some places need more durable houses than others, and the kids had to design a house that could withstand a hurricane. Today we introduced clothing in relation to season and location, and each child had a different take on it:
Spain in the Fall
Japan in the Winter
England in the Summer
Italy in the Spring
Brazil in the Fall
Iceland in the Winter
North Korea in the Summer
USA in the Spring
Sweden in the Fall
China in the Winter
Hawai'i in the Summer
Australia in the Winter
Thailand in the Summer
