We have completed our Taiwan country study. We used the resource Adventurous Mailbox and I did a review about it on this
post! The kids and I really enjoyed the curriculum. There were a few activities that I added to help make our country study complete.
 |
| We looked at our globe and the internet to see a map of the island of Taiwan |
 |
| The kids then researched and labeled a blank map of some of the major landmarks of the country |
 |
| We learned about the map and the history of Taiwan |
 |
| Next we made 2 crafts that are Chinese the first are the Tangrams which we made from cardstock using a pattern we found online |
 |
| The kids had fun building different pictures from patterns I found on the internet and soon they were off creating their own pictures using the Tangrams! |
 |
| Next we read that paper cutting was a popular craft. Often done on tissue paper and it can be very intricate. |
 |
| We found a simpler pattern on the internet and traced it onto card stock which was easier for the kids to work with |
 |
| This year in China is the year of the GOAT! |
 |
| Lastly we investigated a country meal we could create at home. The kids choose this one and their are several version on the web. |
 |
| I have to say honestly, it didn't go over well but I was very pleased everyone tried it. The spices the meal called for were something different to us and it just didn't appeal. However it is still a good learning experience! |
That is how we completed our country study on Taiwan with the kids! It was fun for me to do this study as I lived in Taiwan as a child for about two years and I had many memories come flooding back to me while looking at pictures and reading the stories we read about this remarkable country!
