We have begun to look at the world and some of the countries within. We started out with looking at ourselves and where we fit into the world. This was through a flip book that the Monkey used to start small (with himself) and then see how he fits on the Earth. Then, we went to Google Earth and zeroed in on our house, moving backward through the flip book. He really liked that, especially since he could see the trampoline in our backyard! After, we packed our "bags" and went on a trip to Brazil (this was the country that he received from his monthly subscription to Little Passports). We looked at Brazil on G. Earth and viewed some pictures from Carnaval (most were NOT appropriate, so that didn't last long!) and read about some of the fact about Brazil. He filled in the fast facts book and was shocked by some of the details. It was really fun (we pretended to board an airplane and everything!).
Although I know that a lot of this is a little advanced and that, because of his ADHD we have to take frequent breaks, it's still engaging for him and he seems to be enjoying it. He needs the challenge and the routine. I just hope we can keep up the momentum.
