This week, we will learn about PERU! Peru is an amazing country. It is in South America. There are high, rocky mountains, but there are also areas of Peru that are part of the Amazon Rainforest.
In the mountains, there are ancient Incan ruins including Machu Picchu. You would see people wearing colorful woven cloth to keep them warm, and llamas make themselves at home.
The rainforest is different. It is warm and humid, and it is full of thousands of types of unique plants and animals.
In this week's class, we will begin by looking at art of the ancient Incans, and we will learn about Machu Picchu. We will make some fun Incan art and a llama picture!
After that, we will learn about some of the fun animals of the rainforest and create some colorful jungle art.
Let's start with some "Are We There Yet?" videos about Machu Picchu and some Ancient Incan stories!
