We are currently working through Ann Voscamp's A Child's Geography of the Holy Land.
We ordered it because I LOVE Ann's blog and was hoping her heart would pour out into the curriculum. I don't feel we are far enough through to write a full review yet. We are enjoying it, though there have been a couple things I would rather have seen left out. Luckily since I real aloud to the boys it was easily skipped over!
Anyhow, today as we were looking at pictures I saw some men wearing familiar attire... And it helped bring our studies to a new level!
My husband has been deployed to the middle east, and when he was there he brought home the traditional clothing as a souvenier. At the time I thought "What was he thinking?!?" but today as I dug through a chest in the closet I was so thankful for this easy way to bring our lesson to life!
I'm so glad you shared, Angel! I have that geography program, but have yet to get into it. I love that you had the ability to make geography come alive for your kids with that clothing, and even more meaningful knowing their dad purchased it while in that area. I wish we had more clothing like that in our costume bin! Now you've given me an idea....
