We continued our study of Africa, focusing on animals, ecosystems, folktales, and village and tribal life. Our new favorite story is Zella, Zack, and Zodiac. It is a great story about a zebra and ostrich that help each other when in need with a nice, rhyming rhythm that we all love. Govinda is having a new language arts bond with the letter Z, and it is tying in nicely with 'zebras grazing', and places like Zimbabwe, and the Zulu people. He's also learned a fun African song with lots of Z's in it (zimi zaya, zimi zaya, zay ya ya).
Here is a picture of an African hut drawn after reading a story showing it like this (Beatrice's Goat), drawn on the first completed homemade chalk board:
