New Country Unit

Yesterday (the first day back at school), we started studying Mexico. We got 2 maps, one to label cities and neighboring countries, and one to color the map blue, green, and brown, according to the elevation. We did a few Venn Diagrams about the differences between Mexico and the United States, and went on a website to research gestures, greetings, holidays, food, recreational activities, etc. We've only been at it for 2 days, but we've already learned a lot. We used to be studying China, and it took about a month, so I'm assuming that's about the amount of time this will take.

This had better be better than Animal Farm...................
