This week we used a curriculum called “Come Sit By Me” which I borrowed from my Charlotte Mason Home Educators group.  It is similar to Five in a Row but using Canadian books. Most of this post deals with the literary study of Weighing the Elephant by Ting-Xing Ye but it is also very transferable in many parts to a study on China with young students.   Enjoy! Of course, as with all of our cultural studies, we included food!  (Are you getting the idea that I’m a bit of a food person yet?)   We purchased the ingredients for a delicious chicken stir-fry with some traditional Chinese veggies mixed in. …
