Week of March 23th-27th

Theme of the Week: “My Culture and Traditions”

Hello Ositos Parents,
It’s been two weeks since we’ve begun talking about traditions and customs from United States and Venezuela. The children have learned about cultural differences and other aspects, such as: flags, national symbols and icons, and foods. Also the children have been working hard on rehearsal for our International Day to delight all of you on with our special event.

This week we continue learning about cultures and customs.  The children will learn about another country's culture and traditions this time about “Nicaragua.” Our goal this week is that the children will also be able to recognize national symbols, food, and culture from the three home countries of our teachers!

The Objectives we will be working on are as follows: 

 

Language: 

• Establish comparison of several cultures and traditions from other countries.
• Name the planets in the solar system.

• Identify traits, customs and traditions from other countries.
• Recognize and names some discoveries and inventions.
