Last week we started with some basic facts and the geography of Africa. We’re using a really terrific basic textbook on Africa that has lots of pictures and is wonderful for the ages of my kids. The first few days we worked through this Africa Learning Packet I created that was loosely related to the readings we did. So while the map below has the Sudan as part of North Africa, we did not include it in the sheets below because our text has the Sudan as part of East Africa. The kids were really blown away by the true size of Africa. Download the Africa Learning Packet: We used the flags of Africa from Montessori Materials to create country pins for our pin map (African Flags-page 1; African Flags-page 2). And for a couple of days while I read aloud the kids colored in some of the north African flags.

You can refer back to the list throughout the unit and answer any questions students may have had at the beginning. The list should be posted in the classroom where the students can see it.
