China, Part 1

We started our study of China today by reading "Look What Came From China" by Harvey and "Chinese New Year" by Schaefer. We're amazed at all of the things that started in China!


After our reading, we went through a box of things from China that a friend loaned us. Her husband travels to China fairly regularly, and this box contained things he'd brought home. The photo above is of Alexandra dressed in a silk shirt and holding a bell.

We both are excited to study China and plan on making lots of crafts! Also, our zoo is planning an Asian Festival this weekend to correspond with the Chinese New Year. We are planning on attending and hope the forecasted thunderstorms don't occur!
