Please join us in a cooperative study of cultures around the world.
All homeschooling families with children of all ages are welcome to participate.
Each month, from August through May, each family participating will sign up to do a unit study on one country.
On the last Friday of each month, all the participating families will gather to give a brief presentation on what they’ve learned. And, each family will bring a traditional dish from their area of study to share with the other contributing families.
For example, one month:
The Brown family learns about Mexico. As a family they will do a presentation, maybe including a Mexican dance they learned, and they will bring tamales for everyone to sample.
The Jones family learns about Germany. As a family they will do a presentation, maybe including modeling lederhosen, and they will bring Stollen to share.
The Smith family learns about India, maybe including a sample of Indian music (or maybe one of their children will learn to play a piece of traditional Indian music on an instrument and they will perform that), and they will bring a dish of Chole to share.
And, so on…
The number of cultures we study each month will depend on the number of families participating. We don’t have to restrict ourselves to the present day map either. If your family would like to learn and share about the Mayans, that would be just fine.
In order to increase the number of cultures we are exposed to, the only rule is that you can’t repeat a country another family has already done or selected to do in a following month.
You are welcome to sign up only for those months you’d like to participate. Countries will be taken on a first come, first serve basis.
