This week (August 10-16) Explore Everywhere took subscribers to Morocco where we mused about the King, met magical musicians and learned how to cook couscous.

This week (August 3-9) Explore Everywhere took subscribers to Algeria, a substantial North African nation where we befriended Berbers and Bedouins, Cheikas and Colonizers,
Fundamentalists and the French, Survivors and Saints. In our Algerian “During Dinner Playlist” we met all sorts of Algerian music, from Chaabi to Malouf to Rai.

The Homeschool.com “Top Back to Homeschool Resource Awards” list just came out and Explore Everywhere is near made the cut. Huzzah! Apparently 2,200 Homeschool.com supporters filled out their survey this year. Thanks to everyone out there who gave Explore Everywhere a boost. Check out the list of wonderful curriculum options for your homeschooling family here.

QUIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

This week (July 27- August 2) we took a detour from our usual Explore Everywhere travels to test some quizzes and games for “big kids” (7 and up). What do you know about Burundi? Do you know ANYTHING about Burundi? Whatever you know, you’ll know a whole lot more after visiting All Around This World’s page on Quia.com. Try the “getting to know Burundi quiz first, then go to the folder labeled Burundi for more games. Hint: Start with the simpler quizzes, remember what you learned and the more challenging activities will be a breeze.

This week (July 20-26) in Explore Everywhere all the learning we’re doing made us HUNGRY so we went out for Ethiopian food. On the way we learned about injera, wat and how to eat when in Addis. We also shook our shoulders while dancing the Eskista, and mellowed to Ethiopian jazz.

This week (July 13-19) in Explore Everywhere we journeyed to the East African nation of Tanzania where we celebrated the new year by hitting each other with banana leaves and then hopped like Wagogo frogs.
