We visited North and Central America.
We visited the United States, Mexico, Canada and some of the Islands. We had our passports stamped and exchanged currency. This was fun and we actually learned something as well.
Our first stop was the USA
We mapped the major rivers and mountains, learned about the flag and the national symbols
We read the book about quilting and made American quilts by cutting out pieces of cloth and we glued it to paper and laminated it.
