Our next country in our Around the World Homeschool curriculum was Peru. I know that Build Your Library and Torch Light skip it, but my mom was born there, so we decided to take a week on it.
Books:
VĂMONOS: Lima (board book)
Activities:
Coloring the Peruvian flag from Little Passports
Archer colored a map of Peru. He decided to use the colors from his wooden Peru map puzzle, which he also did.
Andean mountain maze from Around the World Mazes
Recipe:
We tend to eat Peruvian Roast Chicken and rice with egg and avocado pretty often, so I thought I'd try a new Peruvian recipe. We did a classic Lomo Saltado served over rice. Everyone in the family liked it, especially the French fries after they soaked up the drippings from the beef and veggies.
Read Aloud:
This week we continued reading The Boxcar Children Great Adventure: The Khipu and the Final Key. It starts in Argentina and ends in Peru, which was perfect for our schedule.
Art:
For art, he decorated a fancy llama. I printed an outline on cardstock and he cut it out and wrapped yarn around it. Then he bedazzled it.
