Check out our trip to Australia here.

See this post for the passport and stamps that we used.

Be sure to check out my Pinterest board with these and more ideas.

We started out the week with looking at the map and traveling to Brazil. We stamped our passport with a Brazil stamp and took a look at the Capitol on Google Maps.

We learned about several animals this week and we also got to cook several authentic Brazilian foods.

The animals we explored this week are:

Armadillo
Anteater
Jaguar
Golden Lion Tamarin

Next week we will delve into the Amazon Rainforest and create our own diorama.

FOOD:

My favorite Brazilian food we made was Coxinha. They were absolutely delicious.

I loosely followed this recipe. For the dough I used: 2 cups flour, 2 cups chicken broth and 1 tbsp of margarine. I also added some paprika to the filling. We couldn't get enough of them!

I made this Brazilian Rice recipe. It came out really good.

We made these delicious Brazilian Pastel (Empanadas). I filled them with meat sauce mixed with the Brazilian rice and leftover shredded chicken from the Coxinhas.
