Country of the Week
Curriculum for Kindergarten Ages 4 & 5

written and compiled by 
Katrina Lybbert

July 1, 2010 update.  I am going to be revising this curriculum, to simplify it, for ages 4 - 5 year olds.  When it is complete I will be creating a Country of the Month to cover 2 countries in each continent.  Country of the Month will be closer to the example countries here (China, Egypt, Russia ***Note these are going to be undergoing revisions as well) and will include lesson plans to spend 3 weeks on each country.  Country of the Month will be for ages 6 - 11.

The list of countries to be covered in Country of the Week is found below.  You will not have to cover ALL the countries in one year.  You can pick and choose the countries that interest you the most.  There is a country for every letter of the alphabet if you wish to combine this with Letter of the Week.
