Exploring Kenya

Jambo! We had a great time learning about Africa and grasslands. The world's tallest land animal, the world's biggest land animal, and the world's fastest land animal all live in Africa.
Hannah enjoyed putting a diaroma together as we read this book. All of the pieces were inside the book.


Our read aloud was about David Livingstone. We also read short stories about him in Hero Tales, but I love hearing all the details of his explorations and discoveries, all with the goal of sharing the gospel with unreached people groups in Africa.



It has taken us longer to get through this country, because of a birthday celebration, snow, and field trips.


I really wanted to take the kids to the zoo, but weather did not seem good for that. We will have to wait for warmer days.


We have two sponsored children in Africa, so it was good to learn more about their area. One of them is in Ethiopia, which is near Kenya.



We did not do anything in the way of crafts or food for this country. Guess I was too busy making a Cinderella dress.





Hannah was also happy to get to see Lion King II. She had ordered it from the library and it finally came in.




On to Saudi Arabia next.
