The Country for April 4th


We've landed on another primarily French speaking country this week. This new country is slightly smaller than the state of West Virginia.  If we were to stand in the middle of this country and look North we would see the country of Burkina Faso, to our East we would see Benin, to our South is the Gulf of Guinea and our VES student, Brooke shares what country is to the West.  














We have learned that the country has 56 km of coastline, and that it is divided into five administrative regions—Maritime, Plateaux, Centrale, Kara, and Savanes—each supervised by an inspector. Can you find more information on these regions? 

 What is 56 km converted to miles? 
The USA use the Empirical and/or America Standard form of weights and measures, and the country we are visiting uses the Metric system. 

Sam shares the continent that we're on. 


The largest wildlife has been exterminated in the southern area but in the north area of this country we may find elephants and lions. There are 196 species of mammals, 117 species of birds, and over 3,000 species of plants throughout the entire country. Common animals are Hippopotamus, Crocodiles, Snakes and Monkeys.

 The main exports are coffee, cotton, gold, cement and cocoa. Do they import anything?
