Passport Club

Thanks to snow, everyone had an extra week to study February countries! The kids did great today- thank you to all who helped! Hopefully if you watched the Olympics, your kids recognized many or all of the countries!

In March, we’ll have the luck of the Irish with us as we locate where the wildebeest migrate, where Perito Moreno Glacier caves, and figure out which is the largest landlocked country (and also believed to be the origination of the beloved apple).

Online study maps: Password (case sensitive): HelloWorld.
