We have been memorizing how to find key points on an Atlas. Belle has enjoyed learning about our country and other countries through Atlas and videos. We have also been checking out people's biographies. Currently we are learning about culturally significant musicians for fun as a way to familiarize ourselves with what a biography is and how one is written or filmed.
