Recently in Ancient China Category

today we learned about the Ancient China. We learned that the people of Ancient China lived between the Yellow River and the Yangtze river in what was called the Yellow River Valley.  This area stayed wet most of the time and so this is where a new kind of crop grew: rice.  They used to live in seperate villages but a great leader called Huang- Di came and united the different villages of the Yellow River Valley into one Kingdom. 

We are ahead of Pandia Press on this but on Tuesday of this week, we did a Chinese culture day because its the time the Chinese celebrate the Autumn Moon Festival. Basically this is a festival celebrating the moon and there is a story behind it.  This meetup was a little too chaotic for my taste, but it was my fault. Because of this, we are doing the Chinese at home instead. So today we read a comic book type of book with a story and Chinese facts built in.  It was called Good times Travel Agency " Adventures in Ancient China" by Linda Bailey.
