Around the World to Ireland

Our country for March was Ireland. We really had fun again learning about another country and customs. I find if I find books, movies, etc. with other children in it she really pays attention.
 
We studied a little about sheep and found some fun books to read from the library, sheep in a jeep was her favorite! We looked at yarn ( I didn't have any real spun wool ). We watched a video about Ireland and played When Irish Eyes are Smiling on the auto harp ( she's learning to use the auto harp and really seems to like it.) I forgot to show the puppet I made for Ireland I'll have to show her in another post, she really enjoys the puppets! Next month were off to Japan! I can't wait! I think I learn as much as she does doing these studies. Oh I almost forgot! our food  for this one was Baked Potatoes!  Have a wonderful week!

  6. Your site is beautiful, Wendy. I loved reading your daughter's fondness for the autoharp. It was a favorite of mine a a child when I woudl visit my Austrian friend's house. We have one now for just that reason. Thanks for stopping by!
