A Nice visual site for younger readers to help with their notebooking/research pages Bringing Rain to the Kapati Plain - I LOVE HIS VOICE. the children did NOT like the story. Too repetitive. _ BBC Program (we edited for time and content focusing on the beginning 5 minutes, a few in the middle about the nocturnal animals and the end showing the rains returning.) We all chose an animals to discover more about. Student 'research' to be provided shortly!

Homeschool Creations is a wonderful resource stop for any unit study on Africa. She creates simple Printables that we use in our new adventure of Notebooking.
This is a link to a very detailed ancient Egypt unit study. I like how its assembled in a manila envelope bound book so all the pieces/notebook pages stay together.

![]() Niger African GEOGRAPHY and countries facts Niger is a former French colony which was granted independence in 1960. Niger is a vast landlocked country with an estimated population of 15 million, the majority of whom live along a narrow band of arable land on the country’s southern border. Families make their living with agriculture. Drought has left many struggling. The land is mostly desert plains and dunes, with rolling savanna in the southeast. The harsh land is compounded by the fact that terrorist groups operate in the country and it is very dangerous. Areas near the Mali border are essentially lawless, and travel near the border is very dangerous, especially since the beginning of the Tuareg/Islamist insurgency in March 2012. -wikitravel Here's a link to team of homeschooling educators who have already created a complete unit study with hands on activities and free printable for this country.
