"That's a toilet?"

Here is something Asher has enjoyed many times this week already while the rest of us have been busy with reading, writing and arithmetic:

Today, we began our geography lessons with an over view of continents.  Here, we are discussing which continent is which:

To help us learn the names and shapes of the continents, we colored a map.

Following that, we opened up Material World to study televisions of the world, meals of the world, and toilets of the world.  Here is a snapshot of the "Toilets of the World" page which was of particular interest to us.  Take note of the tree (Ethiopia's entry) which was somewhat perplexing to them.  Surprisingly, there were no rude comments, giggles, or obscene noises made when we turned to this page.
 

We discovered that not everyone in the world lives the way we do and as our studies in geography progress, we will learn even more about that.
