Mexico and Transportation in Week 9

wk9-dy2-Mexico-LessonJPG

During Week 9 we read about Mexico and North America.  We have jicama and orange slices with cinnamon as a snack choice. We also sing some Spanish songs and practice animal and color names in Spanish. We include discussions about travel and transportation.

People travel many different ways and to many different locations around the world. The children learn new ways to get around, how to use passports to travel to other countries, and even signs they may encounter traveling domestically.

Of course, not all the children can do the lesson activity until it’s their turn, so they keep busy with reading, spelling, counting and other activities.

We also talk about the season and introduce the children to using pumpkins as a paint medium for design. They can be creative while seeing continuity in the lessons presented this time of year.
