School Year Wrap-Up: Geography

We finished our map study of the eastern hemisphere with an emphasis on the middle east and ancient lands.  Peter (and to a certain extent, Elliot as well) can now locate on a map:  Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the Solomon Islands, Alaska, Russia, China, Mongolia, India, Japan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Rome, Greece and the Mesopotamian region.
