Around the World

We started our last unit of the year "around the world." We learned that there are 7 continents and many, many countries. We discussed how people are different throughout the world. We might look different, eat different foods, play different games and talk different too. The kids learned that they must have a passport to travel to a different country.
The kids loved looking at a globe and finding the different countries that we will be visiting.

On Wednesday and Friday we "visited" Mexico so the kids each got a stamp in their passport. We had a fun time learning about Mexico and the kids even learned to say 'Hello' and 'Good-bye' in Spanish. They were able to paint maracas to take home and color a picture of a pinata. We are also making a wall of flags representing each country that we will visit.
Next week we will be going to France and Egypt!!
