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.

To further develop the understanding of key points on an Atlas, you can encourage Belle to create her own mini-atlas. She can draw and label maps of different countries or states, including important landmarks and key information about each place. This will enhance her map-reading skills and deepen her knowledge of various locations around the world.
