Story of the World Vol.4 Schedule ~ 2012

We're up and running with our updated, 2012, SOTW 4 schedule and are at the end of week 1A
(the initial, 2010, type up can be found here ).

Builders of New Zealand By A.W. Reed (mentioned in previous posts & sadly, O.O.P) (Reader)

Illustrated History of New Zealand by Marcia Stenson (Read Aloud)

The Kauri & The Willow by Elsie Locke (Read Aloud)

The New Zealand Wars by Ross Calman (Read Aloud)

How Parliament Works by John Lockyer (Read Aloud)

Geography will remain an ongoing study through this year.
